    Delicious lunch with very fresh ingredients. Hulu chicken with traditional Hawaiian Mac salad and I had the crab and shrimp salad. Sat on patio with sun on our shoulders and beautiful view. I love this place for lunch. Makes me feel like I’m on vacation.

    Remarkably good for a restaurant with a prime sea view in a touristy town. Doesn’t rest on its location laurels and delivers a really good variety of well prepared food and beverage. If you like lychee martinis don’t get one here you will taste no lychee. Otherwise everything no was perfect!

    Very noisy and food was sub par. Always enjoyed Duke’s in Huntington Beach, but this location doesn’t come close. Poor seating and a noise box design.

    My first time at this location. I loved the Duke’s on Oahu and Kauai so I was so excited to come here. The food was delicious and the hula pie was the bomb much like in Hawaii! Our server was great, super friendly, and attentive. Even though it was rainy, we sat in the patio area but covered. Too bad we couldn’t see the ocean because of the weather but we still had a great time nonetheless. I highly recommend this place! Oh, and get the mai tai! 👌
