Welcome to Surf City, where the waves crash right at your feet. Named after Duke Paoa Kahanamoku, the father of international surfing, Duke’s Huntington Beach is the first outpost of this classic beach bistro outside of Hawaii. Delivering high-quality seafood composed in a number of innovative ways, regulars praise the delicious shrimp and Ahi tuna, as well as the fantastic wine list. Duke’s is famous for the Hula Pie, a confection of macadamia nut ice cream coated in a chocolate cookie crust and topped with fudge and whipped cream. The ambience is great, and with the restaurant poised right on the beach it’s not uncommon for surfing legends of the area to drop in for a bite. Service is excellent and the Sunday brunch is a local favorite. The one criticism can be that the prices are high for the size of the portions, but the quality trumps those reservations.
