Lovely experience! I went by myself to enjoy a delicious meal and was not disappointed. Staff were very friendly, informative, and attentive and made me feel very welcome. Crispy duck leg starter was crispy skin on the exterior velvety meat  on the inside. Nice sweet and a little spicy coating. A little too sweet for me. It almost felt like an entrée eating it by myself. Would have been perfect to share. Got the short rib which came with lettuce and a very spicy mustard on the side to make little lettuce wraps. Meat seemed a little dry, but tender, and the fat portion cooked perfectly so that it melted in the mouth. This also would have been perfect to share. Seems like most of their plates are oriented that way, small sharing plates. Next time I'll bring more people with me so I can sample more of this thoughtfully and expertly prepared food. Atmosphere feels elegant but comfortable and warm. Loved every bit!

Pomet was pleasantly surprising for me. The food quality and taste are delicious. Everything is fresh and amazing. The duck breast entree stood out the most for me. Service was great. The vibe is down to earth and cute. I would totally come back.

It was a wonderful birthday dinner for my wife and me. Thank you guys for awesome food and hospitality. The host was graceful  and our waitress was very friendly and helpful.

We had tuna, ugly mushroom pasta as starters. Both fresh and delicious. Pasta was a bit salty but it was not overwhelming.

Then we had crispy duck and char siu. Great take on familiar Korean and Chinese dishes, making them unfamiliar and pleasantly surprising. Both were absolutely delicious!

Then we had tiramisu with tea. Tiramisu was went beyond our expectation.

For drinks, I had house pomegranate kombucha which was fresh and delicious (a bit too sweet) and my wife had a glass of pinot noir from burgundy.

Overall great experience. We will be back for next seasonal menu.

Anne was our server and she was a wonderful host. She was very knowledgeable about all the different menu items, attentive and very personable. We ordered the pear salad and milk bread for starters, 15 oz NY strip and the Petrale Sole for our main dishes, carrot and lumberjack cakes for dessert.

The milk bread was great. The bread was very soft and the sweet bread contrasted well with the sprinkling of salt.

It was seasoned well and cooked to a perfect medium. The NY strip was like butter. 15 Oz was plenty for our party of three. I appreciated that they provided a proper steak knife to cut the steak. The potatoes were a great side for the steak.

I preferred the Lumberjack cake over the carrot cake. The Lumberjack had more spices and textures that made it more of an experience than the carrot cake.
