    Wait staff was kind. Our kids have good allergies, and they were very considerate and knowledgeable about it. Food was great!

    Ordered the prime rib and it was too chewy. Toughest prime rib I’ve had in awhile. Salad bar was worth the extra $7 with a meal.

    Food was dry and very slow. Salad bar was a mess. Alcoholic drinks were watered down and not worth the money.

    The service was excellent. The ambience/surrounding was great. The menu is very limited, and the salad bar was not filled at all. Would not return.

    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!
