Our first time at this restaurant on a trip to Carmel Valley. We generally dine in Pacific Grove or Carmel at a number of favorites. We are both big duck fans, so we were excited to try a new restaurant, and we were not disappointed. The duck was tender and cooked perfectly. The menu was varied enough to attract most diners, from appetizers through dessert. Several tables were occupied on an early November weeknight, appearing to demonstrate strong interest in the venue. We will be back, next time in town.

Food was delicious. Rock Cod outstanding. Entres arrived too fast as we were barely done with salads. Did feel slightly rushed through the meal even though they were not crowded at all.

We had been meaning to go for quite some time and finally made it this trip. It was excellent and worth the wait! So good in fact, that we went back the following week! The duck is absolutely delicious - perfectly cooked and paired! We ha e put The Spotted Duck on the ALWAYS rotation when we’re in California!
