The food was amazing. I went with a party of 5 and we ordered half the menu to share family style. The mushroom risotto and the lamb shank were my top favorites. The atmosphere was also nice.

The food and service was great. Their recommendations were amazing. I really loved their dish called the bourride. It’s basically a seafood broth made with saffron. It has a rich creamy texture and finger licking good. We also ordered the lamb shank which was tasty as well. The lamb was crispy in the outside; tender and juicy on the inside.

Great food, wine menu, ambiance, service. Would absolutely come back. We didn’t make a reservation although for a Monday it was quite busy. We got the sourdough, cauliflower, fried chicken. Everything was fresh, thoughtfully layered with flavor (even the charred sourdough), and well seasoned.

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.

Jeninni provides the experience you’re looking for! The food and atmosphere is a completely FUN experience. The staff is so friendly and made our night so special. They’ve adjusted well to the COIVD era, building a beautiful patio area for outdoor seating, and each table is adequately spaced. Don’t cook dinner tonight and treat yourself to this wonderful, safe experience!

Had a really nice dinner here, with plenty of outdoor seating. We started with the ham + cheese plate, with nice serrano ham, great cheese, and excellent fresh bread. I had the fried chicken for my entree, which was fantastic — the batter was light, crispy, and delicious. Service is very friendly, as is the owner. Good choice for a romantic dinner!
