    Rocket Salad, dressing on the side
    Thiri Z.

    Duke is now open again after the fires. It's only been 3 weeks so I decided to give them some love by visiting this iconic resturant. Parking: valet is $10 after 4pm on weekdays (I believe $12 all day on the weekend) but there's parking along PCH. Reservations: Use open table vs calling. When you call, they told us that there were no tables avaliable. This is due to short serving staff (for now). Last seating is 6:45pm, but the kitchen closes at 8pm. Food: The mac hummus was so good, it was flavorful and creamy. It was beautifully presented with radish, cucumbers and carrots. It's my first time having it and it'll be ordering it again. My friend ordered the Rocket Salad and enjoyed it very much. Mains: I got the macadamia and herb fresh fish, which was Mahi for the evening we went. I love capers but capers can be a bit salty, so might want to request ez capers or in the side. The fish was fresh and flakey. It was delicious. It comes with broccolini and jasmine rice but I got the mac salad instead. The mac salad was ok, it wasn't as bold as the Hawaiian mac salad that I was used to, but decent. Drink: I ordered the Lavender Yuzu Lemonade. I really thought it would be purple for the Lavender syrup but it wasn't. Regardless of the color, it was refreshing and not too strong. Service: we had Matthew who was absolutely amazing and attentive. My friend had requested some modifications and a lot of paper napkins and he was chill and funny about it. He even apologized for the quality of the napkins. It was probably a joke, but he had us laughing every time he stopped by the table. Over all service was 5/5.

    We had such a lovely experience at Dukes the day before Mother's Day. When arriving, we were quickly greeted by valet (cost $12). As you enter the building you immediately get 180 degree views of the ocean. We were being seated across from the window tables and we asked to be seated at a window table instead. After a bit of back and forth, eventually hostess accommodated. The server was very attentive to my dietary restrictions. I had the Sea Bass (no sauce, just S&P) with broccoli & rice. The Sea Bass was sooooo flavorful. My husband had the burger and my daughter had the fish tacos. Wonton dish and sashimi's dish for appetizers and their famous Hula mud pie for desert.

    Duke!

    We were so happy to see that Duke's is back after the devastating fires, they had been open for a few weeks. Amazingly remodeled, Duke's is cranking out the best mahi mahi fish tacos and Mai tais this side of the palisades. The staff is very friendly and our server, Kobe, was the best. We stopped by for a late lunch and sampled several appetizers including the coconut shrimp, seafood chowder and the fish tacos. My pineapple mule and Amy's Mai tai paired well with everything. We also topped it off with a key lime pie to die for.

    Hulu Hulu pie. Oh my!

    4.5. So glad Dukes is back. Yes menu is scaled back but will be expanded by summertime as reported by our amazing long term employee waiter Matthew Fish chowder delish. Fish and chips - fries super flavorful and crispy. Fish is Mahi Mahi Thick pieces! Tartar sauce great as is the side slaw Per hubby poke bowl perfect good flavors And the key lime pie was fantastic. Top notch service from all wait staff. The views can't be beat. New outdoor patio and bar area beautiful Glad Dukes is back!!

    Thankful to the amazing staff at Duke's Malibu for welcoming us with warmth and kindness and serving delicious buffet dishes during our company retreat last Thursday, 24th of July. We dined at Ocean Room and it was a breathtaking set up with a beautiful view of the ocean. We saw dolphin swimming and a sea lion. It was amazing. The tables were set up with beautiful center pieces of mixed florals. Food was delicious, of course. We had barbecue ribs, marinated seasoned tofu, specialty salad and their famous Kimo's Original Hula Pie. The ribs were perfectly marinated and grilled at the right temperature. The meat was so tender and flavorful. We can't wait until they fully open up and complete their renovations. We plan to have one of our family events here in several months. The last time we dined at Duke's with friends was Sept of 2024. We've always liked Duke's Malibu and can't wait to dine here again with family and friends.

    Macadamia Nut Hummus

    Enjoyed a beautiful lunch with the fam eating delicious food at the newly renovated Duke's Malibu! Service was great and the ambiance was priceless! Will definitely be back soon!

    The Kimo's Original Hula Pie is so good I can't wait to have more

The ocean view, the energy, the pacing of the meal. It is the kind of place my fiancé in finance and I go when we want to remind ourselves why we work so hard. We started with the Yellowtail Jalapeño which was impossibly fresh with this delicate citrus brightness and just enough heat to feel intentional, not overwhelming. The Black Cod Miso was, of course, perfection. Silky, buttery, slightly sweet with that caramelized glaze that just dissolves. It is the kind of dish you pause for. The Rock Shrimp Tempura was crisp and addictive with that creamy spicy coating that somehow feels both light and indulgent. And the Wagyu tacos were tiny but deeply rich, almost decadent in a way that makes you laugh a little when you realize how quickly they disappear. But the moment for me was the pour of Louis XIII Cognac. The aroma alone is stunning. Warm dried fruits, soft vanilla, toasted oak, and this subtle floral note that feels almost romantic. When you taste it, it unfolds slowly. Hints of fig, honey, spice, and this deep almost nutty richness that lingers forever. It is unbelievably smooth, almost silky, and the finish just stays with you in the most elegant way. Yes it is expensive. Obviously. But it is also flawless. If you understand luxury, if you appreciate detail, if you want to feel taken care of in a way that feels effortless, this is it.
