              Fantastic meal, great service, stellar views, and a wonderful Hawaiian atmosphere. This Duke’s location is just as good as our favorite one on Kauai.

              It was delicious food! But I did request a table outside, I booked our reservation 3+ weeks before valentine’s day so we can have an ocean view or at least a better table. So it was a little disappointing to be the table closest to the door, with a huge family next us that was so so so loud it felt like we were in a club. it was also our anniversary that I put, the table came with a note but you would think because it’s our anniversary they would give you a better table lol

              We love Duke’s La Jolla. We frequent Waikiki but when we can’t make it out to the islands we love coming here for our Hula Pie fix :)
