              I love Duke's ambience, the beautiful scenery. The open dining area…! We have been here a number of times in the past the service is good, and usually very timely. I was a little disappointed today as the food did not appear to be very fresh more-so warmed over! I.e. not fresh a little overcooked. However it was served nice and warm and the sauce on the pork was very tasty. Dukes has always been a special place for us because the food was good and of course the ambience the same. I hope there's not a decline in the quality of food which happens with so many restaurants that are popular especially in La Jolla. I encourage Duke to keep up the quality of the food because lawyer deserves it and your customers deserve it!

              Excellent service. Great food! Plenty of outdoor heaters for a comfortable temp on a chili evening.

              Went for brunch on 11/30. Was seated outside with the best view of the ocean. We had the coconut shrimp, fish n chips, ribs n chicken, korean street tacos & herb crusted fresh fish. We finished with an order of the banana macadamia nut pancakes. Everything we ordered was excellent and service was great! We would definitely come back again!!!

              Marine layer rolled in as we sat down. So not much of a view. Still a terrific night. Great food, great service.
