Fodor's Expert Review Duke's Fine Casual Bar and Restaurant

It dubs itself an American West Coast–style restaurant, and the decor is very Malibu beach house, with a gorgeous patio out back. But the menu takes a few liberties: the California rolls contain tuna and carrot, and there are mint leaves in the Caesar salad. It's a nice change from eating Italian, though, and everything is high quality. Up front, the bar opens out onto the street and attracts the neighborhood's beautiful people.
