You don’t need to cross the Pacific to get a taste of Hawaii. Duke’s La Jolla is San Diego’s island-inspired home, honoring the Ambassador of Aloha, Duke Kahanamoku, with coastal cuisine of Hawaii, craft cocktails and a genuine spirit of aloha. It’s the same authentic hospitality and panoramic ocean view that you’ll find at all of the California and Hawaii Duke’s restaurants, paying tribute to the Duke and welcoming you to celebrate life like the legend himself.

Most of the food was mid. The pie is outrageous and worth a stop just for that. You should really come just for the view and the pie.

The last time I went to a dukes was nearly 17 years ago on the island of Kauai in Hawaii. I couldn’t believe that it was just as good if not better here on the mainland. Robyn, my waitress, was excellent. I had a perfect table overlooking the bay. Just what I imagined.

We usually come here during the day for the view, but the food is always on point, so we tried it for an evening celebration. December in San Diego is not the typical winter weather, so we sat outside, and with all the heaters, the temperature was perfect. As always, the food did not disappoint, and our server was wonderful!!! It's of our favorite places on the water!
