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

Everything about our dinner experience was spectacular. The food -- filet of beef, daily fish special, and seafood dish were excellent and so was the salad bar. We had fantastic service, a great view, wonderful drinks, and a lovely family dinner.

The Hula Pie is always a big treat for us and the food was as expected… amazing. The best part of Dukes is the staff. They go out of their way to make dining an enjoyable experience.
