              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!
