What's Jayne Cooking up in the Kitchen this Week? What's Erik Mixing at the Bar?

Jayne has been in the kitchen all week creating some beautiful new dishes for fall. We will be serving these dishes starting tonight at least through the weekend.


FALL MENU NEWS:

Petrale Sole served with a broth of large, heirloom runner beans, linguica sausage, cherry tomatoes, garlic and baby spinach. This delicate fish recipe was inspired by one of Jayne and Jon's favorite downtown San Francisco haunts and arguably San Francisco's first restaurant, Tadich Grill. Well over a hundred years old and still no website. Gotta love it.

Chicken al Mattone or "Under Brick". This Tuscan classic creates the most perfectly cooked chicken this side of Montalcino. Herb marinated, Jidori chicken and garlic mashed potatoes with a Aurugula and Cherry tomato salad with shaved aged parmesan. The ancient cooking technique "Al Mattone" allows for even cooking throughout the chicken and produces a decadently crispy skin.

Friday and Saturday: Tribal Caught Wild Silver Salmon from Washington...

IN COCKTAIL NEWS:



Erik has been creating some killer new cocktails and he really wants to make them for you. If you haven't dug into our cocktail program yet, now is a great time. We use the highest quality artisanal spirits, fresh fruit, premium ice, bottled British mixers (no soda gun) along with housemade syrups and the best bitters around. Erik has an exceptionally balanced palate and above has a laser focus upon making you one truly memorable cocktail.

Aviation- Plymouth Gin, Luxardo Maraschino Liquer, Creme de Violette and Fresh Lemon
Dark and Stormy-Gosling's Black Seal Rum, Housemade Ginger Syrup, Ginger Beer and Fresh Lime
Bramble-Bols Genever, muddled Blackberries, Creme de Mure and Fresh Lemon




Thursday is Mussel Night! Thursday we feature local Carlsbad Mussels with Spanish chorizo, Braised Leeks, Heirloom Cherry Tomatoes, Garlic and White Wine with Grilled La Brea Baguette. This night is becoming very popular over this dish alone. If you like Mussels this night is a must. We are also featuring $5 Pimm's Cups and $3 Guinness or Trumer Pints for 30th on 30th

Our Saturday Wine Tasting Series continues with bartender Erik up at the Bar. We're going to break out some incredible bottles this week. Don't miss it. 3 wines for $10

Arthur Guinness Day, Saturday Tasting Series with Kermit Lynch Wines and John Cusack provides insight into why Jaynes takes a pass on Restaurant Week

We continue our Saturday Tasting series tomorrow Saturday, September 25th with our good friend Kate MacWilliamson from Kermit Lynch Wines. Kate will be pouring the 2006 Extegaraya Cuvee Lehengoa Irouleguy, 2008 Guy Breton Morgon Beaujolais and another surprise bottle. Please join us for what will certainly be a highlight of the series. 3 top shelf French selections for $10 from 5-6pm.

Tonight Friday the 24th we celebrate Arthur Guinness Day. Come celebrate Mr G.'s brithday with a creamy 20oz imperial pint for just $3

Our special this weekend is Bacon Wrapped Filet Mignon with garlic mashed potatoes, grilled asparagus, wild mushrooms and a tarragon butter.

Jaynes does not participate in Restaurant Week. Think of us as your oasis at the top of 30th Street. A guest recently asked us why. I feel the answer can best be summed up by this clip featuring Mr. John Cusack in the 1989 Cameron Crowe directed romantic comedy Say Anything.
