| Duke's Waikiki Restaurant - Waikiki Restaurant (220 words) |
| Duke's Waikiki, named in honor of surfing legend Duke Kahanamoku, is a seafood restaurant where great tasting food and the aura of old Hawaii are the fashion. |
| Duke's Waikiki is located right on the site of the original Outrigger Canoe Club, overlooking the spot where Duke rode the biggest wave of his life. |
| The restaurant is reminiscent of a gentler and younger Waikiki, when canoeing and surfing were in their heyday, beachboys ruled, and Duke was the undisputed "king of the ocean". |
