After eight long years, one of the most iconic and prized restaurant locations in San Diego is finally getting a new tenant. The Top of the Cove—the 13,222-square-foot landmark location on Prospect Street—will now become Duke’s, part of a chain of surf-culture restaurants started in Hawaii, named after surf legend Duke Kahanamoku. They’re known for serving fresh fish and steaks with a Hawaiian flair, in beachfront settings. The plan in La Jolla is for a more casual bar upstairs and a dining room on the bottom floor, shooting for a fall 2015 open. 1216 Prospect Street
Incoming: Duke’s
