THE MARKET BY JENNIFER’S

THINGS TO KNOW

Classically trained chef Jennifer Russo developed The MARKET by Jennifer’s Restaurant & Bar as a casual and elegant space with a menu that incorporates locally grown, sourced and crafted ingredients. Some standout items to try are the Lobster & Crab Roll, served on a Noble Bread brioche roll; the Garlic Butter Baked Pork Chop, with Granny Smith apples, shallots and Hayden Mills polenta; and the Ricotta Gnocchi, with house-made dumplings and tomato vodka coulis. Desserts by Tracey Dempsey Originals and a creative cocktail list complete any meal.

DON’T MISS

The MARKET by Jennifer’s also offers corporate and social catering services under Jennifer’s Catering. Prioritizing a fresh menu, Jennifer’s Catering chooses the finest ingredients from prime meats, hand-selected produce, freshly baked breads and creamery-rich dairy to prepare your menu. From hors d’oeuvre parties with passed ‘shooters’ and minis, to full-service five-course plated dinners, elegant buffets or themed stations, no menu is out of reach.
