Sacramento Street, San Francisco, California

Jack's Restaurant

Formerly located at 615 Sacramento Street, Jack's Restaurant opened in 1864 and was a popular landmark in San Francisco. Until it closed in 2000, it was the second oldest restaurant in the city. It reopened under new management as "Jeanty at Jack's" in 2001 before closing in 2009.

Hitchcock was a regular diner at the restaurant and an upstairs room was later renamed the "Alfred Hitchcock Room" in his honour. According to local legend, Hitchcock introduced the mimosa cocktail to America one Sunday morning whilst dining at Jack's with a hangover.

According to Howard G. Kazanjian, actor Roy Thinnes confronted Hitchcock whilst he dining at Jack's wanting to know why he'd been fired from Family Plot. Hitchcock, who hated scenes and confrontations, was speechless and Thinnes eventually left.
