| Duke's Malibu |
|
| |
About twenty minutes from West LA, located in the old Malibu Sea Lion on Pacific Coast Highway, Duke's has inherited one of the best views for dining in the greater Los Angeles area. Named after legendary surfer Duke Kahanamoku, the well designed restaurant is dressed with old photos and memorabilia from the early surfing era. We arrived about five minutes before opening (they open for lunch at 11:30) and were a little surprised to see some twenty people already there. When 11:30 came it was a rush to the hostess. No one thought of taking names, instead they asked the deadly question "Who was here first?"
About two minutes after we were seated, a window table with a gorgeous view of the surf, our waiter arrived with a basket of delicious rolls and butter. The menu is nicely layed out and is heavy in the seafood catagory. Once we ordered, it took about ten minutes for the food to arrive. They got my order wrong and had to take it back. I was, however, pleasently surprised when our waiter returned with the replacement order three minutes later.
For an appetizer Andrew ordered the Sharky's Seafood Bowl soup and enjoyed it. It had ample shrimp, scallops and chunks of fish. For lunch I had the burger and Andrew had the Seafood sandwich. The burger was a little on the thin size, but good. It came with a fair supply of tasty fries. The Seafood sandwich was a two hander, with large chunks of crab and shrimp floating in a tangy sauce all resting on tasty Focaccia bread. Keep your napkin handy 'cause you'll need it.
The desserts looked yummie but unfortunately we had to pass. We were too full from lunch. All in all the food was good but uneventful and the service attentive and helpful. Depending on what you order, lunch should range from $8 to $15 dollers per person and should take you about 45 minutes. But don't hurry to leave, enjoy the view. |
