All the personnel were extremely helpful and very nice. Becca our server was exceptional. The hostesses, bartenders, gift shop hostess and the runners were all terrific. The Ono & Snapper were delicious. The portions were perfect and a great value. The entertainment, a single acoustic guitarist was the best we’ve heard anywhere. We return every year but Thursday nite at Dukes Canoe Club is a must

Enjoyed Duke’s Kauai. Receptionist was welcoming and friendly. Server Craig had excellent customer service skills. Entrees, salad bar, and HULA pie were great! So was the view of the restaurant waterfall and view of Kalapaki Beach. Enjoyed the Hawaiian music and Hawaiian atmosphere. Overall an enjoyable experience.

What can one say about Duke's? First, there's the tropical tiki style ambiance. The food with the freshly stocked salad bar was excellent. Wait staff was attentive. The bar menu and the drinks were exceptional. A fantastic place to dine.

We had small grandkids with us and they appreciated being acknowledged and loved the waterfall and fish. Excellent food choices for both old and young. The service was from the time we arrived until we left was on point. Our drink cups were always refilled before they were empty. It was a very enjoyable experience from start to finish. Of course the hula pie was a big hit. Everyone left happy and with small kids and a group of 7, that rarely happens. Thanks Dukes, we will be back!
