              A beautiful setting. I had forgotten how limited the menue was. We ended up eating multiple appitizers. Deserts were fantastic.

              The food was awesome! The sashimi salad was melt-in-your-mouth good, the macadamia crusted sea bass as light and delicious. Service was friendly and unobtrusive. A delightful dinner after the theater!

              We absolutely love Dukes - the atmosphere, view and great service. The only negative thing was when we were seated and just ordered drinks and apps - they weren't delivered yet. A table opened up right by the edge with a better view of the water but they wouldn't let us move. I wish I had known this first. We would have waited for the better spot. Also, there was a small dog who was barking at the next table and it was never addressed. My understanding is only service dogs can sit at the tables.

              Went out to dinner here with some friends. We all agreed that the food was tasteful, had lots of flavor. The seafood hot plate was delicious but they could have added a few more pieces of shrimp to make it more filling for the price. The chowder was also delicious.

              Perfect seat overlooking the ocean. Definitely would recommend this place for that seating. Service was amazing. Food was alright. Very good wedge salad. Steak was a bit tough and stringy.

              The view is beautiful. You can see the cliffs and the adorable sea lions. The seafood pot with the coconut broth was enjoyed by my friend and then I had the macadamia crusted fresh fish which was extraordinary. The lavender pina colada was delish too. You can’t see the sunset this time of year because it’s blocked on that side so I was bummed about that but it was still a great view.

              Loud and not a pleasant atmosphere. Three couples actually left after being shown their table. Drinks didn’t come for 20 minutes and only after the food did. The food was overcooked, we ordered calamari and although squid is rubbery this was just tough and tasteless. The wedge salad was grossly overdressed. Really a bad experience in all
