Best Restaurants for Local Ingredients in Pacific Grove

The food was extremely delicious. The staff were very attentive and kind

Always fun and delicious! Spotted Duck is consistent in offering an excellent dining experience. I have been in the food and wine world for over thirty years and I continue to rate Chef Jerry Regester at the top!

This is a spectacular place to dine with beachfront view of Monterey Bay from every window! It's on the top floor of the Monterey Beach Hotel. The restaurant was recently remodeled with cool decor and very comfortable seating. The wait staff was very attentive. The cuisine was delicious, especially the grilled Ad Astra bread, brussels sprouts and pasta dishes. Great cocktails too. We will return again very soon.

Great food, cute location, friendly server! Also had live music- a bonus since it was unplanned-for. Since we had a group of 4, we went for the "small" island basket, which was 3 entrees and 2 appetizers on a giant woven basket / platter. Very special experience (and SO much food :-) Only downside was that we'd originally made lunch reservations but the restaurant was clearly not open when we showed up (on time for the reservation itself; half an hour after the restaurant's opening time for the day). Ended up going in for dinner instead (hence the "unplanned" part of the live music). Would highly recommend, aside from the owner's opening-up glitch.

Jack's has a beautiful setting, service was excellent and the food was delicious! Very reasonably priced, as well.
