    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!
