My girlfriend and I had a terrible experience. Duke's was extremely over-crowded, 1.5 hour wait, a bit run down looking, no beach access. If you are looking for a romantic date setting with a far better menu, far better restaurant, far better beach view, and you want to walk along the beach before or after your meal, go to the Charthouse at PCH/Topanga instead. We will never go back.
Great seafood with a great vibe that refuses to be a seaside tourist trap.
Great fish selection on the water.
More than anything, I love coming here in the summers to have drinks and yummy seafood. It's a got a great, fun vibe and I never have any complaints about the food.
Great location on PCH in Malibu. Good food and great ocean views.
