about chalk

welcome to chalk food + wine!

Chef Jared Whalen has created a menu that is designed to be as fluid as possible, allowing him to change it as often as the mood strikes him. By working with several local farmers for our produce and other ingredients, Jared and Pastry Chef Summer Genetti are able to provide a menu that is fresh, local, and fun!

Your experience at Chalk food + wine is more than just great food. Our unique wine, beer, and martini selections are designed to perfectly pair with Chef’s delicious food. Each selection for our wine program is tasted and chosen by Manager and wine nerd, Bryant Phillips. Our Wine Room offers small production, artisanal wines, available for retail sale, or in the dining room for a corkage fee. Our staff is trained on the nuances of food and wine pairing, and always happy to recommend the perfect match!

The décor of Chalk food + wine is as whimsical and fluid as the food. All of the art adorning the walls was specifically created for the opening of the restaurant, and portray different images of food and wine with a playful attitude.

about the jean-robert french restaurant group

In 2001, after working in the culinary business for 25 years, Jean-Robert de Cavel’s dream of owning and operating his own restaurant came to fruition. The creative development and meticulous planning of Jean-Robert, his wife Annette, and their partners Martin and Marilyn Wade brought forth their first and flagship restaurant Jean-Robert at Pigall’s.

Within just a few years, and after great successes within the restaurant, community and outreach programs, the Jean-Robert French Restaurant Group is proud to show their great strides in the Cincinnati restaurant and cultural scene with four great restaurants – Jean-Robert at Pigall’s, JeanRo Bistro, Chalk food + wine, and Greenup Café. There are more great ventures to come and as always… we look forward to serving you. Merci.
