    A lovely view, delicious dinner and attentive waiter. We both chose a different fresh fish selection that we enjoyed. I like my fish on the rare side so it was a little more done than I like but I had not mentioned my preference when ordering. We shared the Hula Pie dessert which was yummy!

    The hula Grill was a beautiful tropical setting for dinner and we thoroughly enjoyed the view and the food was excellent. Service was friendly and prompt. We enjoyed the free hula pie, since we were staying at the Westin. We then wandered over to the bar and enjoyed the rest of the sunset there. Highly recommend. !

    This is our 4th time eating breakfast at Dukes. The Ali'i Bloody Mary was great, and my Kama'eina omelet with Portuguese sausage, and more was delicious. My wife enjoyed her macadamia nut pancakes. The view of the ocean was great, and our server was attentive but not overbearing.
