The roasted bone marrow is ALWAYS on the menu; it’s the one thing that doesn’t change. You can look at the menu every day to see what’s being served for lunch and dinner. You should also check out their other location, St. John Bread & Wine (http://www.stjohnbreadandwine.com/home/), which seems to be a bit more casual, but may not have the marrow.

David, wonderful review. Now I’m starving. I must try the marrow! Should I call St. Johns to find when it will next be served? Is that how you did it? Thanks for the amazing tip.
