    Our server was great. The wontons we ordered tasted really bad but everything else was solid. The sirloin was pretty great with the teriyaki.

    What a beautiful location! After that, wha wha. The bartenders were great, the hostess pretty flat, the waitress good, but got a little distracted. What really disappointed us was the food. It's pretty expensive but pretty just ok. The wine list is underwhelming, and house drinks were ok, but too expensive. I suppose the good/great chefs don't clamor to work at Dukes? Anyway, come for the views, but don't expect much more than franchise food with little style or flare.

    We always enjoy Dukes’s but this time we noticed it was looking very shabby. Screen installed as bug protection (I guess) was broken and falling down, almost in my face. Floors uneven and worn down. I love Hawaiian atmosphere and don’t need “slick” but this place needs some work. Food is fine but menu hasn’t changed in years. Mai Tai’s are still great

    The Mac nut crusted fish was full of wonderful flavors and very fresh. It was paired nicely with a rice pilaf and cooked baby carrots. The salad bar was fresh and had some nice pasta, broccoli, & tofu salads in addition to the normal greens. The atmosphere here overlooking Kalapaki Beach is relaxing and romantic. Service was impeccable. Overalls, a very enjoyable dining experience.

    Sunday brunch has very few choices. Dessert consisted of 2 kinds of cookies and some muffins. Not typical brunch, very sparse.
