January 14, 2019  (Jamul) – The highly anticipated 2019 Restaurant Week will feature two Jamul Casino® restaurants: Prime Cut and Tony Gwynn’s.  Sponsored by the California Restaurant Association’s San Diego Chapter, San Diego Restaurant Week is January 20-27, 2019.  Over 180 restaurants will participate in the event.  As an opportunity to highlight their tastiest fare, many restaurants will offer prix fixe lunch and dinner menus especially for the event.

Executive Chef Keoni Simmons is leading Jamul Casino’s contributions to Restaurant Week.  Chef Simmons will debut a prix fixe dinner menu at Prime Cut from Wednesday the 23rd through Saturday the 26th.  The $50, three-course menu features several of Chef Simmons’ fan favorites, such as:

  • Grilled salmon, ginger-lemongrass infused rice, and roasted heirloom carrots with orange honey
  • 12 oz. Prime New York strip steak, whipped potatoes, and grilled asparagus + béarnaise
  • Flourless dark chocolate torte with Italian meringue, caramel popcorn, and raspberry 

Wine pairings for each course are also available for an additional $70.

Chef Simmons states, “Restaurant Week is one of my favorite San Diego events.  With fantastic flavors and spectacular views of the beautiful Jamul countryside, dining at Prime Cut is relaxing, romantic, and, in many ways, a magical experience.  I can’t wait for Restaurant Week to bring more San Diegans to Jamul Casino® to see what we have to offer!”
