Wow, having spent 10 days in SD we found La Jolla cove and Dukes on our last day… It is safe to say it was so good we are already planning our next trip from Scotland to San Diego!

Cool place with a great view. Menu was very focused and everything looked delicious. Honestly very difficult to pick. Everyone was pleased with their lunch.

WOW, the food was amazing. Really good food. Staff was really nice and recommended dishes. Highly recommend making reservations and request a table on the patio by the glass ledge with the ocean view!

We visited this massive restaurant located by the water, and they seated us on the second-floor balcony. Though we had a view of the ocean, it wasn’t the best as the awning from the first floor obstructed it. I bet the view is better down there!

Simply perfect. We enjoyed a tasty meal with an amazing ocean view. The ahi steak is incredible and the wedge salad is something special. Also, the mango old fashioned is a must try. The service is so friendly and attentive. Great shops and parking options in the area.

This was a wonderful experience! We were visiting San Diego and Dukes was a few blocks away from our hotel. The food was delicious, and the views were amazing! We loved sitting on the patio with our cocktails and Hula pie!

Duke’s is a great place to grab some good food with great views! They have a lower and upper level where you can actually sit on an outdoor patio overlooking the beautiful La Jolla cove. Their menu is Hawaiian inspired and so delicious! This was our first stop when we arrived in La Jolla for just a quick bite and it did not disappoint. We shared the Black Bean Nachos and Fish Tacos, which ended up being just enough food for 2 people who weren’t super hungry. They also had a ‘Duke’s Blonde’ beer on tap that is brewed by the ever famous Stone Brewing, specifically for Duke’s, and it’s the only place you’re able to try it, so I definitely recommend ordering a glass when you’re there – so refreshing!

The view from the patio is beautiful! The food was good overall, my steak was very charred on the outside but medium rare/rare on the inside. The macadamia ice cream dessert was delicious but the cookie was literally frozen on the bottom and there was no way to eat it without picking it up like a cookie. I really enjoyed the Mango old fashioned, it was really delicious and the salad was also really good.

Jennie Rountree
They have great seafood! I would recommend the sea bass, coconut shrimp, fish tacos, and the burger. Also, they have very good, festive looking drinks.

Came for brunch on a Saturday. Had the breakfast burrito and it was super yummy. Tried my friend’s fish and chips and it was absolutely scrumptious. Of course we finished off with a slice of hula pie! Highly recommend sitting on the patio and viewing the ocean while dining.
