    Great spot in Pacific Grove. Right on the main street among other restaurants, bars and inns. Menu has options ranging from salads, soups, seafood, pastas / carbs, and proteins. And the dessert menu is top notch. We ordered the duck pate, octopus, mussels, duck breast and pasta special which was a spaghetti bolognese with lobster and scallops. Everything was well made, good size portions, and very delicious. This is a really good neighborhood bistro with top notch service. Must go for any visitors and the locals in PG are very lucky to have the Spotted Duck.
