              We love Dukes, service is great, the food is tasty. Make sure that you don’t visit during the switch from lunch to dinner, the menu is limited and the portions are small for the price.

              Most of the food was mid. The pie is outrageous and worth a stop just for that. You should really come just for the view and the pie.

              The last time I went to a dukes was nearly 17 years ago on the island of Kauai in Hawaii. I couldn’t believe that it was just as good if not better here on the mainland. Robyn, my waitress, was excellent. I had a perfect table overlooking the bay. Just what I imagined.
