Jeninni Kitchen Wine - Pacific Grove

Spotted Duck has delicious fresh food. The vegetable sides are especially nice. Make a reservation using Open Table to make sure you have a table.

This place is now called Spotted Duck. (I wonder when TripAdvisor will pick up on this). It was our first time and we were early. I had the halibut special with a Bernardus Sauv blanc. It came sitting on some black rice, topped with lobster pieces, arugula, and some cubed watermelon. There was some kind of green sauce spread on the plate to compliment the dish. It was pretty. The flavors came together very well. I thought it was a great dinner main. My husband had the sautéed rock cod with artichokes, puréed potatoes, and capers with some brown butter sauce. He said his fish was salty but at least it was offset by the bland potatoes and vinegared artichokes. We shared some beignets with salted honey on the side for dessert. The rosemary sugar coating was good enough for me. But my husband enjoyed the salted honey. Our service was great. Our server was congenial, attentive and patient. He was quite informative too. All in all a pleasant meal. Maybe we will try the duck next time.

My husband said: good thing we don 't live here or we would be spending a lot of money here .The food is amazing. From pictures you expect it to taste a certain way, but it tasted a lot better than it looked. Nice surprise. We got duck, which my toddler devoured, polenta cake and rosemary donuts. DELICIOUS

Excellent food. Truly worth it and currently one of my favorite places in Monterey, CA. It has recently changed names from Jenni Kitchen Wine Bar to The Spotted Duck. Menu still similar enough to before and there seems to have been little to no change in the food. Quality is still really high. Vegetarian options: Some vegetarian/Vegan options and some of the dishes can be made vegan. Ask your server for details.

Jeninni Kitchen offers a uniquely creative, delicious and perfectly presented meal…from service and amenities to qualities and taste. I had the chicken torchon and it was absolutely first class in every respect. Five stars to Chef Jerry and his crew. Many Thanks. Hans Lehmann Vegetarian options: Vegetarian options were available.
