    Found out this was the original Duke’s. Beautiful setting. Kind of tucked into a cliff, right on the water. Valet parking was really helpful. The food was delicious and the service was friendly and efficient. Would highly recommended for a nice casual evening.

    My wife and I had a fantastic brunch today. The Prime Rib and Eggs Benedict were my favorites. Multiple choices for any taste….salads, shrimp, macadamia nut pancakes, bacon, sausage, rice, potatoes and multiple pastries.

    The Sunday brunch ($50/person) food was really so so. The prime rib was quite plain and not flavorful. Couldn’t sit outside to enjoy the ocean view due to strong winds. Live music was decent.

    We ordered the teriyaki sirloin and coconut shrimp special plate. It was served with mashed potatoes. The potatoes were cooler than room temperature. The steak had good taste, but mine was very tough and fatty.
