A Rose and Kettle Weekend


The Rose and Kettle Restaurant

Hey Everyone,

Thanks for your kind wishes last week. I'm going to keep this message short and sweet. We've got lots of delicious things coming up this weekend. Local farms are brining in the goods and some nice wild seafood is iced and ready for you as well. Here's a sampling:

Fresh Ham from Nectar Hills Farm has brined overnight in a Bourbon Brown Sugar Bath. We're roasting it up golden crispy-like and serving it with mashed potatoes and Fava Beans.

Nectar Hills Farm Duck Sausage with figs and shallots, good good tasting stuff!

Free range Chicken, our classic French-cut bird with potato gratin and herb salad.

Wild King Salmon Grilled and put on top of lemon risotto--oh yeah.

Shrimp from The Gulf of Mexico sauteed in Ommegang Beer with Creamy polenta.

Alright, hope to see you soon. There will be NO music this Sunday, but we're open every night this weekend at 5 PM.

Thanks,
Clem

Spring and New Foods arrive

 The Rose and Kettle Restaurant
4 Lancaster St.
Cherry Valley, NY
Open Friday, Saturday, Sunday at 5 PM

Hey Everyone, 

The Rose and Kettle Returns today with our Spring menu and the start of a new Season.

We also have some exciting news: Dana and Agnes and I are moving to Rome for 10 months in September. Dana was awarded the Prix de Rome by The American Academy of Arts and Letters. That's a residency in our favorite city, so we are very very excited. For now, the plan is to shutter the restaurant for the slow season and then re-open upon our return in the Spring of '09. But we'll keep you posted. 

As for the here and now, we have fresh oven-roasted halibut, local duck sausages with fava bean pesto, risotto with braised local lamb shoulder roast, and pan-seared free range chickens in our classic and simple manner. Also, Sunset Hill farm greens are back, warm goat cheese tarts, vanilla cardamom panna cottas. 

Open mic on Sunday at 8 PM with our pub menu.

Hope to see you soon.
