    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!

    We shared the romaine salad which was plenty for two, excellent. The grilled sourdough, so yummy. Duck Meatballs which were good. Scallops and Lamb Gnocchi were outstanding.

    We liked this restaurant upon prior ownership as Jenini, but it is even better. Very helpful service; well priced, interesting wine list; and extensive list of menu options. Everything was well prepared w/high quality ingredients and all were delicious. We are looking forward to our next visit!
