"When I
first entered Jack's in the 'heart' of old San Francisco, I felt transported
back home as if I had entered a Parisian Maison Bourgeoise as, in Paris,
many of these old buildings have been transformed into neighborhood
brasseries. Combined with the history of Jack's, built in 1864, I
immediately fell in love with the building and decided to be part of its
history and to bring Jack's back to San Francisco.
My vision for the exterior of the building is to give it the welcoming
brasserie ambiance with red colored wood paneling, lace curtains and brass
lighting. As you enter the building, you immediately feel the history of the
building. When you look up to the 14-foot high ceiling, you notice the
sculpted relief on the ceiling and walls. The black and white checkered tile
floor leads you towards the bar and the mezzanine located above. At the base
of the spiraling staircase is a ten-foot tall bronze statue, which was
originally in the lobby of an old Parisian hotel.
As you go up the brass-railed staircase to the second floor where the three
private dining rooms are located, you step back into time to the era of the
Parisian Maison Bourgeoise with its hand-painted folding doors and warm,
homey feeling. At the top of the third floor staircase you see an authentic
"Sidewalk Ice Cream Cart." You then enter a rooftop Parisian atrium with
hand-painted vines on the walls and a greenhouse glass ceiling spanning the
entire room.
The food at Jeanty at Jack's will be true to a Parisian brasserie, platters
of shellfish, beet and mâche salad, home-smoked trout and potato salad,
steamed mussels with fries, sole meunière, grilled ribeye steak with
béarnaise, cassoulet with duck confit, flavorful cheeses and, to finish,
tart tatin "a la mode," profiteroles, crepe suzettes and crème brûlée - to
name a few. I think the original French owners of Jack's from 1864 would be
very proud!!!"
