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.

    We love Dukes, service is great, the food is tasty. Make sure that you don’t visit during the switch from lunch to dinner, the menu is limited and the portions are small for the price.

    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.
