We’ve dined at Duke’s Waikiki several times and it’s one of our go to places. After a long winding drive at night down the mountain from Westlake Village, I didn’t think the food was worth the trip. It would be nice to see the view of the ocean but not the dinner.
I tried the macadamia nut crusted fish of the day, halibut. The fish wasn’t overcooked but halibut is a very bland fish. The sauce that came with it was way too salty. The broccolini was a tad undercooked but the rice with it was good. Hubby tried the bbq chicken and ribs. He said the chicken was too dry, overcooked. I tried a bite of the chicken and ribs. Glad I didn’t order that dish.
His non alcoholic drink of coconut strawberry $10, was good, too sweet. The server was nice and checked on us and apologized for not knowing what brand ginger beer they carried (Bundaberg) for $5 a bottle.
We will try another Duke’s later this year, hope the food is better. This place is quite large, great for big groups. Parking valet only $12 in their lot but we did find street parking right outside.
