Pomerol

The prefix menu had good options, but it wasn't clear it was prefix only. The drink service was very slow, but the meal service timely. Each of four person party had different range of quality for the cut of meat and appropriateness of cooking. Would like to have seen more consistency across plates. The prawn tartini was a delight.

Pomerol is fairly small, though I suppose average for the area, and parking during peak times is difficult because they have no lot. However, they have a handicapped parking spot right in front, which I thought was marvelous. The owner (I assume that was him) greeted us politely, steered us to our table, checked back several times to make sure all was well. The menu is interesting, and we'd been told several times that it was a "must". The food was, indeed, delicious, from start to finish. But. I don't know if the chef was having an off night or what, but we had the chicken with raisins, and there were no raisins. (A more than adequate ramekin was brought, but it certainly would have tasted different had they been cooked together, or had the raisins even been in the sauce, or heated.) A salad was missing its fruit (figs, I think?). Just kind of one thing after another, slightly annoying because the restaurant wasn't busy. I also found the prices for liquor and food quite high. Yes, it's a trendy area. Yes, the restaurant offers an interesting menu. Still, I didn't expect to pay close to $80 apiece, though perhaps that's my own naivete showing. So, I would say a good place for appetizers, or even mains, but be cautious about your drinking, and check to make sure items actually include the foods they promise!

We dropped by here for a quick drink before our dinner reservations at a different restaurant in the area. The staff was friendly and the drinks were good. The bartender gave us excellent suggestions to try. We ended up coming back for dinner after receiving very poor service where we had reservations. Dinner was excellent and the service was amazing! I am very happy we came back for dinner.

This place is nice for a date night. The atmosphere is a step up from casual but isn't too fancy. The service is nice and the food is always great. There's been a little flower on the table every time I've been there and you can ask your server for a wine suggestion with your meal confidently. Personally love the steak frites.
