A quick food and music update from the Rose and Kettle:

Remember we've got extended days and hours so you can have dinner on Monday or Tuesday now!

This weekend we have Rosebrook Farm Elk, boneless eye o' the round roast with herb bread crumbs au jus. A wonderful dinner but it's selling fast. 

Also Freebird Farm chicken in a creamy almond and caramelized shallot sauce tossed with penne.

Also halibut cheeks with risotto fritters. Halibut cheeks are the cheeks of the great wild halibut fish. tender and good.

Also this week we have Gaia's Breath Farm pork shoulder roast cooked in Coca Cola.

And more more more...

And on Sunday starting at 8 we have two live acoustic sets

"Wobbly" O. Rabbit perform your new favorite

songs on his old  
ukulele.
Thrill to uptempo country numbers Johnny
Paycheck, and Cowboy  
Jack Clement.
Swoon to Tin Pan Alley favorites.

And Ned Brower plays indie/country singer-songwriter material,
mostly original, some classics and favorites too.

Alright, keep us in mind.

pork butt in coke; NOW 5 DAYS A WEEK

The Rose and Kettle Restaurant
4 Lancaster St.
Cherry Valley, NY
Open Friday through Tuesday at 5 PM
www.roseandkettle.com

The Summer's almost here and we at the Rose and Kettle are adjusting accordingly. As of today we are open Friday through Tuesday for Dinner at 5, and we will be keeping the kitchen open with late snacks too! Starting at 9 we'll be serving Eggplant Parmesan, Fries, Quesadillas and more. 

About dinner: As the reservation book fills we are cranking up the ovens with chile-bathed grilled local Duck Breast from Gaia's Breath Farm, delicious Halibut Cheeks with vanilla beurre blanc, Pork Roast (what butchers call "Butt") braised all day in a Coca Cola Bath, classic R & K Hanger Steaks au poivre and much much more. 

This Sunday our friend Carl Waldman will be performing a live acoustic show at 8 PM. But not just any Carl Waldman mind you, this is the all new Carl Walman project: Carl Waldman alone with his guitar! It's a first for many years, the man behind more rock combos than Cherry Valley can recall is finally stepping out to work the wood and wire in a room full of nothing but ears... the ears of his audience.

That's all. Anything else you need to know, just ask.

Yours,

Clem

Mothers day

Hello:

 

 

Can we add 4 people and another baby to our 6  reservation. If that time does not work for our group let us know when does.

 

I am going to bring 2 plastic seats to put in chairs for the babies. So plan that both babies will have a seat!

 

Thanks!

Lisa

Mother's Day Weekend open Sunday at 12 Noon

The Rose and Kettle Restaurant
4 Lancaster St.
Cherry Valley, NY
Open Friday, Saturday, Sunday 
www.roseandkettle.com

Hi Everyone,

This Sunday is Mother's Day and we are open for a lunch and dinner marathon from 12 Noon until 10 PM. We've got our regular menu plus wonderful lunchy things for Mom and her gang: grilled wild salmon with lemon ailoi, truffle risotto, chilled creamy wild fiddle head fern soup, hot roast beef sandwiches with horseradish, eggplant parmesan.

Also on Sunday night, starting at 8 PM we have more live music. Two musician friends of ours from the underground pop scene in Troy, NY will be joining us for an evening of acoustic goodness. Ross Goldstein of The Coconut Show plays a sort of slack-keyed tropical road anthem pop with fuzzy toned guitar and organ. Come out and get a copy of his album Free Dumb, on vinyl! 

Aaron Smith fronts The Scientific Maps, who are big time now in Albany and Troy. They perform in a similar vein as Ross, a bright trumpet and moog-laced rockin' pop music. Aaron will be accompanied by his trumpet player Donna Baird so we're in for a treat. From The Beatles to Lou Reed to Vampire Weekend, these two bands run the gamut of likenesses while holding on to their own unique and excellent sound. It's free and it might just be the best music event we've hosted yet.

As for the rest, well we have local chickens in this weekend, which we will be serving in our special classic manner: plain (but great!). Also, local beef that I am braising in orange and herbs for a risotto, lots of fresh local greens, local duck sausages and cotto cured salami, local chevre goat cheese. we also have wild fiddle head ferns and wild leeks (aka ramps) fresh from the forest earth. Plus all your favorites like hanger Steak and Goat Cheese tarts. We are open at 5 on Friday and Saturday, and as I said earlier, we open at 12 Noon on Sunday. 

See you soon,

Clem

Sunday at The Rose and Kettle

Live Music tomorrow evening at 8 PM:

Need I say more?

Okay:  Do you like The Beatles, Leonard Cohen and The Flight of The Conchords?

All this and more influences this young in the years but old in the soul pop combo 

from Cooperstown.  

Come on out for good times!

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
