We got a chance to preview Pub & Kitchen's (1946 Lombard St.) newly-renovated second floor dining room and a few of the new menu items whipped up by chef Jonathan Adams. The new space is bright and open, with a rustic wood bar, shelving that stocks Adams' collection of vintage cookbooks (they'll be employed for the chef's upcoming retro cookbook dinners, debuting in April) and views of Lombard Street from the big picture windows.

Adams said the restaurant was "thinking spring" with the new menu, which makes its debut today. We liked the truffled pork terrine with radishes on toasted brioche, and a crudo of scallops with rhubarb, hibiscus, pea tendrils and lemon vinaigrette. A list of $3 pub snacks includes fancy bites like duck liver mousse, gougère and lemon creme fraiche, or fried polenta with smoky tomato relish. Luckily, our old favorites, like the phenomenal cumin-spiced pulled pork sandwich, are still around.
