Restaurants near National University

We had a lovely anniversary lunch at Jake's, sitting at an ocean front window table. Fabulous view, great service. We shared the fish tacos and the seafood chowder. The kitchen was nice enough to split the orders into two for no extra charge. Our server also gave us the choice of a complimentary dessert for our anniversary. We chose chocolate peanut butter torte to share. It was delicious, but we couldn’t finish it. We had the Hula Pie at Duke’s in Maui, so we chose to try something else. We did have a taste of Hawaii with a very good Duke’s Mai Tai. Will be back if we visit Del Mar again! Also, use Jake's valet parking, which was $8 at lunch. We used the public parking across the street, which was a minimum of $25 for two hours.

The food and ambiance are very strong. No pretense, but solid food. The service is top notch, especially from Willow, who was kind and excellent and thoughtful.

Dukes has the best views and ambiance, and such a great price point! Service was friendly, professional and efficient. We had a great time celebrating our daughter's 21st birthday!

This place truly rocks! It’s one of my favorite places to go to when in San Diego. The staff is amazing. Food is spectacular and the ambience is really great. It’s a very sexy place.  Great for a date you want to impress.  they even went so far as to give my mom a chefs coat when she went back into the kitchen area. Wonderful experience, 

We love it here! Come about 2-3 times a year for special occasions or just date nights. Highly recommend it
