              Mele Kalikimaka! Excellent Christmas Dinner at Duke’s! The staff really went above and beyond to service guests on the holiday. We were seated tight on time for our reservation, waitstaff attentively greeted us and took our orders promptly and good arrived shortly after. Both our meals were delicious as was our dessert - Duke’s famous Hula Pie. Mahalo!

              Staff was attentive and very busy. Other than bringing our pupus out with the entree we had a delightful Christmas dinner.

              I took my small family of 3 here for Christmas Eve dinner. The food was absolutely delicious and reasonably priced all things considered. Everything tastes fresh and professionally prepared. Service was a little delayed due to the holiday, but we were overall very pleased with our dinner. Amazing food, beautiful view, and a really welcoming ambiance. We will happily return should the occasion ever arise. The Hula Pie is literally to die for and makes a great addition to any dish you order. All in all, a great experience for me and my family!

              Christmas Eve dinner at 4:00. Friendly service, delicious food, beautiful view of the ocean at sunset. The Coconut Ginger Braised Seafood was amazing. One order of the Hula Pie was enough for the 4 of us to share- so yummy! Great experience- thank you to our server, Kelsey R who treated us like family. You are sooo sweet!! - The Pascarellas (family of 8)

              The menu is extremely small and portions are even smaller. Dukes Kauai is a mini version of Dukes Waikiki. The meal was over priced and bland. Skip this if you can.

              This was the third time dining at Duke’s upper dining area for dinner. The food is delicious, the staff is warm & friendly, and the view is gorgeous. Highly recommend this place for an early dinner and a walk on the beach after at sunset.

              Read several reviews but our experience was not good. Drink service was extremely slow, my husband ordered a beer, I ordered a la pina, and kids had 2 soft drinks. We were finished with our appetizers before the kids received their soft drinks and 5-10min later we received our alcoholic beverages. A separate drink server brought us our drinks. Seemed ridiculous that kids couldn’t get their drinks before the appetizers. Appetizers were okay, we got coconut shrimp and calamari. Our dinner entrees were bland and over cooked. We got teriyaki sirloin and chicken and ribs. The only good part of our meal was the hula pie
