   We had such a lovely dinner at The Spotted Duck. We took my Godmother to Pacific Grove as a belated Birthday present and came here for dinner. The food was delicious and the feeling of the place was so nice. We had a lovely table in the corner by the window. We will definitely come back on our next visit down there.

   We had an exceptional meal in our first visit to the Spotted Duck. The mushroom soup and Brussel sprouts for our first course were perfectly prepared and wonderfully flavorful. I had the duck breast and my wife had the scallops. As someone who has consumed his fair share of duck over the years (over 500 reservations on Open Table) the quality and preparation was the best I have ever experienced. Hands down, no question. The scallops were easily as good, both in flavor, presentation and quality. We cannot recommend the Spotted Duck more highly.

   The food is excellent. The presence of new items on the menu is always exciting.

   Spotted Duck is a local gem that can compete with the best-of-the-best from any location.

   Our server was the most pleasant, taking time to listen to bad jokes. The food (brussels in amazing onion jam, Risotto for one, Steak Frites for the other) was delicious and well portioned. Funs pot at the window, watching the foot traffic come and go. Love this place!

   We started with the sweet potato & argula salad. I had the carmalized sea scallops and my wife had the sauted rock cod. Everything was super well prepared, service was excellent and the food was delicious. I would highly recommend the Spotted Duck for dinner. We were down for my wife's birthday from Santa Cruz, well worth the trip.

   This is the first time that we have been to this restaurant and all I can say is that it was unbelievably delicious. The service and especially our server Anson was fabulous.  Kudos to the restaurant owner and chef. We can’t wait to go again and would recommend this restaurant to everyone
