   I absolutely adore the Duke's La Jolla location! The ambiance was delightful, with breathtaking ocean views that set the perfect backdrop for our celebration. The food was scrumptious; each dish was a flavorful masterpiece that tantalized our taste buds. The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating, making us feel right at home. We chose this lovely spot for lunch to celebrate my granddaughter's birthday, and every detail was flawlessly executed. Our server, Maddi, was an absolute gem—her attentiveness and cheerful demeanor added a warm touch to our experience. She ensured our drinks were always full and met our needs with a smile. Additionally, Francesca went above and beyond to help create a magical moment for my granddaughter by making her surprise birthday gift feel extra special. We had a wonderful time filled with laughter and joy from start to finish! 🎉😊

   Duke’s was amazing! The service, the food and the views made dining at this delightful restaurant a must for anyone visiting CA and wanting a memorable experience. Topping it off was the breathtaking sunset we experienced at the end of our scrumptious meal!

   my husband ordered the Huli chicken and it was dry and hard and inedible. I ordered the fish and rice and if was tasteless dry and the rice was dry . I could have made the same meal at home and would have been better. I was disappointed in the food. we ate at dukes in oahu for brunch and food there was amazing . Dukes in la jolla was so disappointing.

   Great place as always. Prices creeping up a bit but I guess that’s everywhere these days.

   Not only are the views spectacular whether in the Restaurant or up top in the Bar, the staff and food are exceptional. Jessie who seated us and Asia who was our server were such delights. The food was exceptional, best calamari I have ever had.

   Amazing breakfast with a gorgeous view! Everything was fresh and delicious, but the real star was the key lime pie — perfectly sweet, tangy, and unforgettable. Highly recommend!

   Delicious swordfish plate and pulled pork sandwich were superb. We didn’t want the meal to end because every bite was so scrumptious! Mai Tai’s, coconut shrimp appetizer, and a fantastic Hula Pie with Kioki coffees ended our meal just perfectly! And the view was spectacular from the patio. Can’t say enough good things about our birthday celebration meal! Highly recommend for lunch or dinner while in San Diego seeking the island vibe.

   Wonderful location, staff was great, food was delicious, BUT… the options were extremely limited and the price was a little high for what the food options were. But again, food was really good. I would probably go back again just for appetizers and drinks, but not for a full meal.
