"We were here for restaurant week, and we left with bellies full of yummy food. Good vibes, nice ocean view, outdoor seating with heated lamps. Food was amazing and I highly recommend the ahi poke tacos. It was very delicious and fresh. We also ordered a fish entree. Mac and cheese was a bit watery but the breaded fish was cooked to perfection. Now.... The dessert. THE DESSERT!! This pie was the highlight of my day. 10/10 will come back again."

"⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Duke’s La Jolla — A Truly Memorable Dining Experience Duke’s La Jolla is exceptional in every way — delicious food, a beautiful atmosphere, and a level of hospitality that stays with you long after you leave. Every dish was fresh, flavorful, and prepared with real care, making the meal feel both comforting and elevated. What made the experience truly stand out was the outstanding service. The entire team was warm and attentive, but I especially want to recognize Will Landry, Special Events Coordinator, whose professionalism and kindness made the evening unforgettable. His gracious hospitality and genuine care for guests set the tone for an experience that felt personal and incredibly welcoming. From the ocean view ambiance to the thoughtfully prepared dishes and exceptional staff, Duke’s is the perfect place to enjoy a beautiful meal in La Jolla. Highly recommended."

"Dukes is a classic Hawaiian-fusion restaurant chain found among the coast in Southern California. It’s a great place for groups, which is the only time I go. Dukes is one of my family’s to-go restaurants. The food is really standard (like Hawaiian Cheesecake Factory) but it has a fantastic view! Definitely worth a visit, especially for those coming from out of town. Aloha!"

"We stopped by Duke’s La Jolla on our way back to Los Angeles after visiting the La Jolla Cove, and it turned out to be one of the highlights of the trip. It happened to be Restaurant Week, so we took advantage of their specials—and wow, the food was fantastic. The poke tacos especially stood out, fresh and full of flavor. We sat in the back overlooking the ocean and mountains, and the view alone was worth the stop calm, scenic, and relaxing. The staff were friendly, attentive, and our server went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. If you’re in La Jolla Cove, I definitely recommend stopping here. Great food, amazing views, and a welcoming atmosphere make Duke’s a must-visit."

"We came here on a recommendation for the views and the food—and both delivered beautifully. The service was warm and attentive, the non-alcoholic mixed drinks were refreshingly delicious, and the food was just as satisfying. We especially enjoyed learning about Duke’s history and its impact on the local community—it added a meaningful layer to the experience. A memorable visit all around!"
