Food & service were fantastic. Love the views and atmosphere.
We sat at Table 1. Our server, Devon, did a very good job.
Delicious fish dishes and amazing Hula Pie dessert!!
Great service great food and drinks beautiful view
Excellent food, excellent service, gorgeous views, and still casual. The price matches the quality making dining there the best!
Wonderful food and server!
Best location beside the beach. Food is really good such as most people posted Port Taco, Hula Pie. We ordered Ahi Steak and signature burger which are also very good. Great server: they provided separated plates of main course for two of us. 3 hours of valet parking give us enough time to dinner and took a walk after.
Wonderful service and everyone on staff had a smile in passing. Food was also delicious and was a great place to enjoy the beach views.
Fantastic setting for our daughter’s 16th Birthday celebration with her Oma & Opa!
The noise level needs to be curbed . So hard to hear anyone at our table talking and there were only 4 of us. Food was good . Server was ok. I think they should comp your parking if valet since dining with them. Not a huge deal but $9 plus tip seems a bit much after spending a lot on food and drinks.
Fish and chips were B-; Burgers were A. Pricey but view can't be beat. Good for special occasions and such.
When I was at dukes the service was incredible with the food to match. It’s honestly one of the best restaurants I’ve been to in a while. Yet, it was kinda of loud in the restaurant
The food was delicious and the service was outstanding!
The food was good. We had a new waitress that did not take our order for 15 minutes and she forgot to bring some requested items.
I had a Strip Steak and King Crab, it was great. All the staff were very outgoing and made our experience one to remeber.
The foos was very good… really recommend this place
Our server was great
Our server was fabulous! Food was very good but my boys were still hungry even with appetizers and dessert, so for teen boys appetite plan to eat a second dinner.
We love dukes though! Here& in Maui
Totally enjoyed dinner at Dukes. My husband had the seared ahi and I had sautéed magnut & herb crusted fresh fish Both were delicious. The view was amazing. Sat right by the windows so we could see the beautiful ocean waves. Our waitress was so enthusiastic and you could tell she felt a lot of pride in everything she served. The best part of dinner though was the ice cream pie dessert. Awesome and huge- we split it. So so good! Nice selection of alcoholic drinks too. We will be back next time we're in Huntington Beach.
Birthday dinner
Food was very good. Our table with a view was superb. Duke’s location is just beside the Pier so after eating, you can walk down the Pier and enjoy the fantastic view of the place.
Amazing. Beautiful view!
I highly recommend you ask for Maryanns section to be seated. She went above and beyond with our service. She is remarkable and I would go back to Dukes just to get service from her. OUTSTANDING job Maryann! Thank you
Apparently we were there too long so they asked us to leave. We spent $270 (3 people), and the place was more than half empty. We were not unruly or stood out in any way. Just spent too much time past their 90 min limit, per the guy with the iPad that asked us to finish our bottle of champagne and leave. Good food, extra tip to server since it wasn’t her fault, but will never return,
My husband and I had such a great experience. Our server was beyond excellent and the food and drinks were perfection!
Excellent service but sadly a disappointing meal for some of our party!
Great table by window. Personable and attentive waiter. Wonderful lobster tails, Halibut and Sea Bass.
Have been here a couple times. Not sure if it’s pandemic-times related or what, but it feels a little run down for the prices you pay. To highlight:
Pros
Good selection
Reasonable prices (for the area)
Views
Cons
Restaurant looks kind of shabby
Fish was overcooked
There are so many new restaurants in the area, I think dukes has to step up their game in the ambience department. While the food was decent, the environment was loud, messy and overall not something I would expect when paying $100/head.
Our food was great, service was excellent. Prices are a bit high but you are right at the beach and pier. Valet parking is now at $9 for 3 hours.
Great food, excellent service and topped off with an amazing Hula Pie.
Fun lunch with my sisters at Dukes Huntington Beach. Great food and a window table! Valet parking made for a smooth experience.
We had a great table in the corner by pier.Thank you! Sadly our waitress wasn’t too interested in serving us. After sitting down we asked for another menu but she never delivered it and we were there for 20 minutes before ordering food. We ordered water and had to remind her three times! She did come back once asking if we wanted another drink but didn’t see her until we asked a table setter to put an order on to go and when we saw her 15 minutes later we asked for check and it took another 15 minutes. I wanted to charge but we all agreed it would take too long for her to come back. It was disappointing because she had a lot of tables but she seemed to be visiting with others for too long.
Not too busy for lunch. I’ve had better meals here before. Kayla pork sandwich pretty boring. Needed Cole slaw to brighten it up. Mai Tai is just a premade mix nothing special
Suggest coming for dinner and getting fresh fish!
Halibut was wonderful. Our server was friendly. Nice beach vibe.
We had a a great time celebrating my daughters birthday and our server and food was fabulous!!!🤗
Asiah was so welcoming & her service was Impeccable!
She gave us information on the entrees which was so helpful! It was our anniversary & she brought out the ice cream pie with whipped cream! We were so Impressed!
We had a good time, servers were on top of everything.
The macadamia nut crusted Sea Bass was superb and the sides were delicious as well.
Wonderful place but tends to be very loud and noisy. There was one group that was excessively noisy when we were there.
Treated two ex-pats from Japan to dinner on Southern California coast. They and I were very happy with the service, ambiance, and good food. Our waitress maintained attention to our needs even though the restaurant was packed. Thank you.
