Restaurant Openings Report: Week of August 17, 2014

Jackson, Miss.

Saltine, an oyster bar and seafood restaurant created by husband and wife team chef Jesse Houston and Rachel Horn Houston, is now open. The Southern-influenced 100-seat eatery pays homage to the city’s rich history of seafood by pairing fresh fish, shrimp, and oysters with seasonal vegetables, craft beer, and rare rums. The casual restaurant has an open-air patio filled with vintage accents for a nautical theme. Custom beverage pairings from 31 craft beers on draught, a noteworthy selection of rum, and several signature cocktails highlight Saltine’s unique beverage program. By partnering with regional brewers to create proprietary craft beers and using a Randall system to infuse drafts on-site, the oyster bar will frequently feature one-of-a-kind drink offerings.
