Duke's is too expensive for the quality. Too noisy. The Mai Tai's were
weak. We waited 1 hour when we arrived at 6 PM.

It's a hopping place though. Sunsets there are supposed to be nice.


We had dinner there once, it was great, but it was awesomely late for
us. 9pm local, 2am body clock. I didn't think that it was
particularly expensive. For Hawaii. I didn't go there to eat at
McDonalds or Dennys.

The other times were for breakfast. We were there right when they
opened. No problem for us, even though we "adjusted" to Hawaii time,
getting up "early" was no problem.

That breakfast at Duke's was exactly the same price as our hotel (away
from the beach) but had a lot better view. That was the deal maker -
look at sailboats, the beach and Diamond Head. If we stayed at the
hotel, we could have had a lovely view of the street out front with
traffic. That was an easy choice.
