I was disappointed in the vibe of the place and also the food was very average. Not what I was hoping for going to beautiful La Jolla. I suppose if you sit outside it would have a better feel.

Can’t beat the view !

Everything was perfect!

The view at Duke's is stunning. This is why you deal with downtown La Jolla crowdedness and traffic. Had a nice table outside. The food was good, but I was a little underwhelmed. The HuliHuli chicken was on the dry side and the side slaw was just OK. We did enjoy the nachos. My daughter had the burger which was good. The fries were ok but could have been crispier. The menu reminds me on a more upscale Islands fare. But I probably prefer Islands food. The waitress was new and didn't quite get our orders right, but at least she was honest about it and sweet as can be so no issue with that. Just wish the quality of the food was a bit better.

Basic- very basic. Had higher expectations from other people recommending- visiting from East Coast- service was great- food was cold she fixed that-

Our waiter was very friendly and informative, attentive !

We had a great experience. Good view, food, and wine.

They sat us near ocean view. Wish we had waited a bit longer just for actual table next to the view. Three became empty as our appetizer arrived.

Hostess are a little standoffish until you make conversation. However our waiter Oscar was very nice and prompt. Food did not take long. Really appreciate the birthday cake for my sister.

Outstanding from the service to the food!!

Food was deyand staff was very friendly. Beautiful view.

Great food. Excellent service. Fun atmosphere!! We enjoyed this outing with friends and liked to so much that we’ll be back soon!!

We had a very fun family dinner to celebrate a birthday. The food was great, everyone really enjoyed their entrées. Hula Pie for dessert of course!

Sat down ordered then we were told we had to move tables as our table had been reserved, so embarrassing as we walked with out water and menus over to another table, very armature and not what you would expect from a La Jolla Resturant, give it a pass

Great experience and service. Highly recommend.

Great service, spectacular views and reasonable prices! Will certainly dine at Duke’s on future occasions.

Great food and atmosphere!

Great view. Friendly staff inside. Waiter was a little grumpy. Told us we had to order or the kitchen would be closing. Not happy I asked for a paper wine menu.

Never disappointed. Fantastic food and service.

Our Server was Allen or Alan. I forgot but he was awesome! Service was quick. We had a reservation and got seated right away. The view was so beautiful. I wished their menu was bigger. But overall I would come here again.

The food was amazing and the view was to die for.
The staff was great. We expect a lot from this family of restaurants that we have visited several over the years and Duke's did not dissapoint!

Great menu and the best Mai tais. Service was great.

Awesome and delicious!

Ordered the beef short rib meal. Ribs were over cooked and dry. Very disappointing. Sauce was outstanding. The waiter was Jake. He was an outstanding server.

Duke’s was delicious and had great gluten free options. It’s a little pricey, but the ambience and food were great! Beautiful views of La Jolla.

Food, cocktails and views from patio are OUTSTANDING!!

Fabulous setting, great service. Sea bass a bit dry/overcooked, but very flavorful. Great cocktails and lots of fun!

This is always a great standby. Awesome view and reasonably priced.. always come here when I can.

Great view!!

Excellent drinks, good food
Nice views from the terrace

Our waitress, sorry forgot her name, was very accommodating and friendly.
The only problem going to Dukes La Jolla is parking.

We were not seated near the water view as requested when we reserved our table- disappointing. This has happened 3 times now and we live in Chicago so it’s not easy to come back

Duke's is a fave for me & my Mom Squad. The food, the ambiance, the service is like an instant vacay. Most of the big tables were removed during Covid so def make advance reservations. Must order: lavender colada, black bean nachos, macadamia hummus, hula pie. Claire provided thoughtful and attentive service. Always a celebration at this lovely spot. Duke's has adapted the menu to QR code scanning & even has a contactless pay option. If you can't find street parking, there are self-park & pay lots off Cave Street and $12 valet parking steps away from the restaurant.

This place is great. We came here with a 4 and 1 year old. I have to say our waitress was great not just with us but with our kids as well. Thank you for great time and of course a delicious hulu pie.

Beautiful birthday evening for a dear friend of ours. The appetizer of calamari was excellent as were the salads. Well done on all the drinks. The hostess, waitress and staff were attentive and top rated to us. We are world travelers and have dined n places such as Athens, Rome, Paris and Barcelona. Your establishment is there with the best of them. Of. Ore was your new waitress who only had 4 days n the job . She was incredible and very personable. Great hire!! Excellent main courses of fish tacos and mixed drinks. We shall see you soon! Bravo!

Service was very good. Our server took very good care of us.

Food was wonderful, views were stunning. Service outstanding! Definitely recommend. Sit outside!!

Always enjoy attending Duke's in the Cali area and The Islands of Hawaii. Great environment and hospitality. Everyone is always friendly, knowledgeable, and efficient.

Thank you.

We arrived a few mins early and they had us wait for about 10 mins until our table was ready. We went to lunch on Saturday at 2:15pm (as that was all that was available for a late lunch that day). Everyone was so nice and the place was VERY BUSY. We requested a table closest to the water for the best views…and they were spectacular!! We started off with drinks and the coconut shrimp. The wait time for food was really not bad at all. We were so busy taking in the beautiful weather and breathtaking view! Shrimp was fantastic! We ordered fish tacos and the poke bowl as our meals. Again, no complaints, food was good and didn’t take an absorbent amount of time to come out. We finished off our meal with the hula ice cream pie for dessert. Amazing! Our waitress was very knowledgeable and super friendly and attentive.

The food and ambiance are always amazing... but our waitress stole the show. We had a food allergy and she made sure everything was perfect!!

The only downside: we stuffed ourself on hula pie before we left! 🤪

The ambience was awesome and the food was good. The staff were friendly, warm and welcoming. We had a great time and we will be visiting again!
