Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
Duke's La Jolla offers stunning ocean views, "delicious food," and "awesome service." It's a perfect spot for celebrations or casual dining, especially with favorites like the crab cake Benedict and Hula Pie. While some diners noted reservation hiccups and varied service experiences, the Hawaiian-inspired menu and "breathtaking views" make it a must-visit.

    Went for brunch on 11/30. Was seated outside with the best view of the ocean. We had the coconut shrimp, fish n chips, ribs n chicken, korean street tacos & herb crusted fresh fish. We finished with an order of the banana macadamia nut pancakes. Everything we ordered was excellent and service was great! We would definitely come back again!!!

    Marine layer rolled in as we sat down. So not much of a view. Still a terrific night. Great food, great service.

    Our server was excellent! I indicated I was vegetarian and had a sesame and sunflower allergy. He checked the item I wanted to order and then suggested several alternate items the chef was willing to make me. I appreciated this so much instead of just being directed to the salad. I had the best veggie tacos!

    We had a fantastic meal while visiting from Canada. We had a wonderful outside booth and incredible service. Our table had a sweet card on it wishing us a happy anniversary when we arrived. We started with cocktails (pina colada and mai tai) and shared the gotten sticky ribs and coconut shrimp. We shared the Filet mignon. All of the food was really nicely done. The steak was like butter. We enjoyed a glass of wine with our steak and then, even though we were very full, we shared the key lime pie and were glad we did! I highly recommend this restaurant and its wonderful staff and suggest finishing the night with a photo with Duke, the bronze statue out front.

    Disappointing fish. The mahi had a very think & oily breading. The fish & chips were also heavily breaded & oily.
