The food was just ok, certainly not worth $23 for two mediocre beef tacos. The drinks were very good! The worst part was that the sea view was totally obstructed by a construction fence! Needless to say, I won't go back!

I wish they would have closed for the construction, zero views of ocean or beach due to construction happening and false walls all over. Service was impeccable and the food as well. Love Dukes but the construction dampened this visit.

Honestly the buffet was kind of sad. I don’t eat red meat so I tried the fish and chicken and they both were not good. Honestly should not have come here with the limited menu. The staff though were absolutely phenomenal. Really kind and happy people throughout the restaurant.

No mention of construction or limited menu on their website. We went during construction. Only the bar menu was available along with a buffet. The buffet was nice because we did get to try a lot of things. No outside seating on the beach which was a bummer.

there’s a lot of construction happening in the hotel right now, and the Duke’s patio is completely under construction. It would’ve been nice to know that I made a reservation at 4:45 so we could catch the sunset and absolutely no view of the ocean or most of the sunset because of a large green scaffolding blocking the view. Food was good and as expected. The service is always outstanding . They were able to accommodate some dietary needs. The biggest thing was basically the view
