    We love Dukes. Had ribs and chicken. Wife had steak. Both excellent. Must have cocktails. We brought wine $20 corkage ( reasonable). Service is always perfect. The restaurant is a slower pace compared to Honolulu or Maui.

    We love Duke’s, and the Kauai location is our favorite. The salad bar! The muffins! We went there twice this week. Excellent service and fantastic food.

    Went here on our last day of family vacation. Even though we couldn't get in for sunset (make your reservation well in advance!), it was still a beautiful setting and a wonderful meal.

    We have been to this restaurant several times when we have visited Kaua’i . I always thought it must be just me, as I have never liked the food. It is basic at best and really not appealing. I asked my husband if he liked his food and he said you don’t come here for the food, you come here for the view. Lol I guess he’s right.

    Our waiter, Keenan, provided excellent service and was delightful and gracious. We loved everything we ordered, from pupus, to salad bar, entrées and Hula Pie! Yummo! The view of Kalapaki Bay is always beautiful and the live music was the chef’s kiss, topping off the ambiance to our lovely evening. Highly recommend! Mahalo nui loa!
