Why You'll Love It

For more than a decade, Jardinière has served creative, award-winning French-California cuisine in an atmosphere that embraces the essential French joie de vivre. With more than 500 wines in stock, a renowned cocktail selection, even an elegant champagne design motif, Jardinière is the place to ring in a special anniversary, toast a birthday, or treat yourself to an impeccable pre-theater dining experience.

Enter this historic brick building on Grove Street and find yourself in the sophisticated J Lounge, the centerpiece of which is an oval-shaped mahogany and rare marble bar. A dramatic opening above the bar recalls an inverted champagne glass, complete with lights that sparkle like bubbles in a champagne bottle. A grand staircase leads you up to the dining area, where the balcony's wrought-iron railing is softened by glamorous curves and topped with ice buckets shaped like champagne flutes.

Expertly fusing French techniques with locally sourced, California-inspired dishes, Top Chef Masters contestant Traci Des Jardins presents an innovative and ever-evolving six-course tasting menu that celebrates seasonal diversity. Each course arrives according to your preferred pacing, bringing forth increasingly rich and complicated flavors.

Jardinière invites you to indulge in an evening of swift, attentive service and accessible haute cuisine in an atmosphere of refined opulence.
