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

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