              Dukes has a fabulous location right on Kalapaki Beach. It relies on that beautiful location than serving outstanding food. It was good but not over the top. Worth going to for the view.

              I have enjoyed downstairs in the Barefoot Bar many times. This was the first time upstairs in the dining room and it did not disappoint. We celebrated my birthday and it went perfectly. Would definitely recommend to friends and visitors!

              We come to Dukes every time we are in Kauai which is twice a year. Our dinner last night wasn’t as good as I remember. It is expensive and I don’t feel that my meal was worth $39. On the drive home we decided it won’t be our go to restaurant every time.

              Food was delicious! We have dined a lot at the Huntington Beach location so we wanted to try something new and different here. I had the coconut ginger braised seafood and I enjoyed it tremendously. My husband had the filet mignon with coconut shrimp and he said it was delicious. I loved the Dukes Mai Tai cocktail. We all enjoyed the Hula Pie and pretty much inhaled everything. Our waiter, Mark, was very attentive, answered all our questions and we appreciated all his suggestions. We will definitely come back the next time we are in Kauai

              Appetizers were great, main entrees were good, sides were cold. Food was coming out of the kitchen slow so and we had a flight to catch we didn’t say anything to our server.
