Truly an amazing experience! Food was divine. From the hamachi with the amazing balance of flavor, to the crispy yet juicy fried chicken was made to perfection and the Lobster special that was unforgettable.

Duke’s is a wonderful place to dine. I go there frequently for lunch with friends. The food is consistently delicious and fresh, and the ambiance is soothing, whether you eat inside or out on the patio. The staff is friendly, the food is very good, and looking out at the ocean is an added bonus. What’s not to love? I highly recommend Duke’s!
