              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

              We love Dukes and always dine here every time we visit the islands. Fantastic food with great salad bar, delicious fresh fish, tender ribs and great cocktails. Very attentive service. Beautiful tropical atmosphere with fabulous view of the cove.

              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.

              The brunch food was not that good. Maybe it is because we came at the end of the brunch hour at 11 am? We paid $50 per person for cold scrambled eggs and cold pancakes. I know we're on an island but even the Caesar Salad lettuce had an odd consistency, like it was grown by AI in a facsimile of what it thought lettuce should be. We paid to be on the beach which was fabulous, as well as our service- our server was wonderful :) Too bad we had the worst meal of our week-long stay, and the most expensive, by the way.

              The food was generally good. Plenty to eat and good variety. The desserts were pretty lame. Great views.
