Day One of Son of a Gun's lunch service on Day 2 of 2012 means I don't start my New Year's resolutions until Day 3...
Tried everything on the menu we haven't seen (and eaten) before on the dinner menu. Two words: Oyster Loaf.
Smoked Trout Salad - new
Chicory and Cauliflower Salad with Anchovy Dressing - new
Son of a Gun Lunch
Opening day...
Oyster Loaf
Oyster loaf, bacon, Crystal mayo, $6
Lobster Bisque
Lobster bisque, cherry, creme fraiche $7
Beet Salad
Beets, apples, pecans, blue cheese, gem lettuce $10. I forking LOVE this salad. (But I'd also love to see a heartier "main dish salad" suitable for a light+liquid lunch at the bar. A Son-of-a-Gun-ified Nicoise, maybe?!)
Frita Sub
Chorizo, Cheddar cheese, special sauce $11 (also pictured above)
Persimmon Salad
Lettuces, arugula, pomegranate, persimmons, dates $12
Cavatelli and Meatballs
Cavatelli pasta, meatballs, ricotta, garlic bread $14. Like a meatball sub in a bowl. The bread alone could be a meal.
Fish & Chips
Fish and chips, malt vinegar aioli $15
Frozen Lime Yogurt
Frozen lime yogurt, graham crumble, toasted meringue $6
Son of a Gun Wine List
Pinot Auxerrois Schoech 2010

Hehehe resolutions to eat healthy are like the people who resolve to go to the gym. and it lasts for one month. TOPS. I don't even try these days. That toasted meringue mushed on the side of the bowl looks great!
Simon says
That chorizo roll looks absolutely fantastic!
Sarah J. Gim says
it's gorgeous, yes? though the last few times we went, it wasn't on the menu... hope it hasn't been removed permanently!
Diana Hossfeld says
The perfect way to begin the year of "Yes." :D (that's a big D smile)
Darin says
That oyster loaf does look quite good...and only $6??
Sarah says

Darin says

Everything looks amazing! I don't care if its 9:30 in the morning, I want fish and chips!
