    Overall good experience. Made reservations for 7:45pm. I didn’t realize they had a lunch menu and dinner menu. We were actually more interested in the lunch menu but couldn’t order from it. (Totally my fault). We had potstickers to start, both varieties were very tasty. Pork shank, macadamia crusted mahi, filet and ribeye were ordered. Some garlic butter or zip sauce would be a great addition for the steaks. All were pretty good. Pork shank was very tender but lacked some flavor. Crusted crab/mahi was very good. Hula pies were a hit. Very light flavor - a thicker cookie crust would really set this pie off. We had a mixed service experience. The hostess appeared to be having a bad day but our server was very friendly and took good care us!

    I had to talk to the manager Jake due to an issue that we had with the gift cards over at Dukes. He was great. He straightened everything out and we watched him and he’s a very much hands-on manager really helping out his staff in that restaurant. We also had Stephanie as a waitress and she was wonderful. Love this restaurant.

    Dined for lunch. Mango BBQ salad and Caesar salad were both wonderful. Definitely make a reservation, it was super busy when we arrived and the couple ahead of us was told there would be no tables available for 30-45 minutes. It is casual during the day; you’re on the beach. I dined here several years ago and enjoyed it! We’re actually headed to Dukes now for breakfast!
