              Great casual dining after a long day of flying to get to Kauai. Hula pie was great as always.

              Love Duke’s. The ambience cannot be beat. So beautiful at night and the live music just adds to the glow. Everyone in our party polished off their dinners except me. I wasn’t starving and had the salad bar a la carte and it was a disappointment. I know the veggies are imported. But my papaya dressing was acidic in a bad way and the pasta salad was weird- like a combination of pesto and something like green pepper that stood out in a bad way. But everything else was great, including our cocktails.

              Had a great dinner at Dukes. Great table, great server, great music and very good food. We had the Ahi Steak that was excellently prepared and the Baked fish which was wahoo and a little dry for my taste. Shared a Hula Pie to top off a perfect evening. Will return.
