Review of Pomeroy

We don’t often make the reverse commute from the city to the suburbs looking for great food, but Pomeroy will now become part of our regular rotation. The atmosphere was perfect for a warm September night as our family sat in one of the front booths with the windows open wide to the cozy sidewalk café. I started with the French Onion Soup Gratinee which is always a test for any French bistro, passed with flying colors; hot and delicious. The four of us shared two salads, the Salade Verte and Le Pomeroy which were excellent. Being a French Bistro, we went for the Steak a la Bordelaise which was hands down the best steak frites I have ever had. The cut of steak far better than what is typical for a steak frites, perfectly cooked and flavored with a butter/shallot sauce, it melted in my mouth. The biggest test came to the frites since my wife is a certified French Fry snob. They were perfect, hot and crispy and a little bit soft inside. But the best part is that the fries are cooked in their own fryer, so they are Gluten-Free. In fact, like all Ballyhoo restaurants, Pomeroy does an excellent job providing safe Gluten-Free food which is a requirement for our Celiac daughter. They also have a kid’s menu so the little ones could also partake in their junior Steak Frites. The delightful assortment of Macarons is also Gluten-Free as they should be but aren’t always. I highly recommend Pomeroy; you won’t be disappointed.
