SAN DIEGO, CA, August 20, 2009
/24-7PressRelease/ -- From colorful heirloom tomatoes to tender halibut, Executive Chef Nathan Coulon of the Quarter Kitchen at the Ivy Hotel has created a new seasonal menu packed with flavor and local ingredients.
"We believe that every guest should enjoy the last days of summer by letting us do the cooking using wholesome and fresh ingredients," said Chef Coulon. "Our new menu features organic vegetables and herbs, as well as sustainable seafood and meats."
With farm-stand fresh produce, the menu takes advantage of summer's abundance. The Quarter Kitchen's new Great Beginnings include an Heirloom Tomato and Burrata Salad, Whole Blue Shrimp and Yellow Tomato Gazpacho.
In addition to irresistible appetizers and salads, the menu also includes Signature Socials and Main Event dishes such as the new Smoked Free-Range Chicken, Loch Duart Salmon, Pan Seared Northern Halibut, Meyer Ranch 20 oz. Rib Eye and Roasted Rack of Lamb.
The Ever So Tempting new dessert menu features Strawberry Semi-fredo, Poached Fig Tart and Macerated Grilled Peaches.
To complement every meal, the Quarter Kitchen offers a distinguished wine list consisting of 650 selections, which earned the coveted Wine Spectator 2008 "Best of Award of Excellence" and an "Award of Unique Distinction" from Wine Enthusiast magazine.
In addition to a new seasonal menu, the Quarter Kitchen also features several new exciting offers:
