Sad news from Sacramento. Street, that is. Jeanty at Jack's has closed after nearly 150 years! I will miss the gorgeous French cuisine, the semi-private feel of the rooms harking back to when it was a bordello, the daily specials written on never-ending mirrors, and the puff-pastry tomato bisque more than I can say! According to our waitor/historian, Jeanty at Jack's was the oldest restaurant in San Francisco that had stayed in the same location since opening, and was the fourth oldest restaurant in the city (after Tadich Grill and a couple others - Sam's?) Also, the Jack's in the restaurant's name was given for the fields that surrounded it when it opened, abounding with Jack rabbits!
