              Table location not the best. Too many large groups they stated. Also when ready for dessert no hula pie which was very disappointing. Usually one the highlights of our meal. Not sure how such a major dessert offering could be unavailable.

              Dukes had delicious food. Fresh salad bar and tasty seafood. The wait staff was friendly and prompt. And the location is paradise. We would definitely recommend Dukes.

              We didn’t realize/pay attention to fine print that the buffet was only option for this reservation. The brunch was mediocre; eggs Benedict was cold and service was okay. We were disappointed with our experience at this location. We’ve been to several other locations, including LaJolla, CA, Waikiki, and Maui—-and this has been our biggest disappointment.

              Service and ambiance were spectacular! Had a table overlooking the bay. We had dined there two nights earlier so knew what we should expect in the way of food quality and, unfortunately, we didn't receive it on this visit. We had 4:15 reservations and the "medium rate" prime rib was obviously was from the night before and had been reheated. Very disappointed but won't stop us from returning, probably not for a 4:15 reservation!!

              First, let me state that this was my mistake. I did not review my bill carefully before making Payment. While our experience was good, it did not deserve the waiter a 45% gratuity for his service. I do agree, that it is acceptable to add a base gratuity to a party of 6 or more. But, I would also expect to be reminded of that by the wait staff as they hand me the bill. Then I can choose to 'add' something to the base amount. I'm just disappointed that I was not more careful in reviewing my bill in detail. It made my overall experience just average for the evening.

              Mele Kalikimaka! Excellent Christmas Dinner at Duke’s! The staff really went above and beyond to service guests on the holiday. We were seated tight on time for our reservation, waitstaff attentively greeted us and took our orders promptly and good arrived shortly after. Both our meals were delicious as was our dessert - Duke’s famous Hula Pie. Mahalo!

              Staff was attentive and very busy. Other than bringing our pupus out with the entree we had a delightful Christmas dinner.
