Duke's Kauai Reviews
Ok. Dukes has changed its menu since we were there in 2018. Change is sometimes good, but not this change. We had the Mahimahi and swordfish. Nothing to brag about, but it was ok. Second night we were there, we had the salad bar, Alacarte. Worth $27??? No way. If they would have had crab, shrimp and other types of shellfish to add to the salads, MAYBE $27.
Overall, not to happy about the meals. I had a better fish platter on Anna Marie Island from Beach House waterfront cafe.
Very disappointing brunch. I wish I read more of the negative reviews. If you're looking for a great breakfast, try Kiwae Roots or Puakea Grill. I've had a better continental breakfast @ Motel 6
Salad bar and music ambience is amazing and breathtaking.

Duke's Kauai, located near Kalapaki Beach in Lihue, offers a delightful dining experience with great service, delicious cocktails like the Mai Tai, and a must-try Hula Pie dessert. The property is beautiful and well maintained, and the outstanding service ensures a pleasant visit, with a menu full of enticing options. While some dishes, like the fresh catch of the day, have received mixed reviews, the food overall is considered spectacular, particularly highlights such as the teriyaki sirloin. The picturesque views of the beach and the sunset, along with live entertainment, create a unique and memorable dining atmosphere. However, guests have noted areas for improvement, including the quality of the salad bar, which has been described as gross, and several items tasting rancid. Though the restaurant may have higher prices than neighboring establishments, it is still worth a visit for a taste of Hawaii's ambiance and cuisine. Guests appreciated the accommodating service and special touches for celebrations, but some suggested the need for cleaner silverware and complimentary bread to start the meal.
