I’m a high risk individual for covid. I made a reservation for my spouse’s birthday and selected the outdoor option. My reservation was confirmed. We showed up today and the outdoor section was completely closed. The host went over to a man in a suit who I presume was the owner or manager to check what she should do. He didn’t look at us or make eye contact with us. Instead he gestured towards the door with his head basically telling us to leave. It was so rude. I definitely don’t have the desire to eat there again after being treated that way in the restaurant. Won’t be returning.

Came in with high expectations but left annoyed and disappointed. First off, they automatically add a 20% service charge, so I guess that means they don’t have to actually be nice to you. The service was rude from the start. When I ordered, the server said “you have to order everything at once,” not explaining, just attitude. Later, I asked about dessert early and she hit me with a “what?” I literally went silent. Now the food… straight-up mid. • Milk bread: cold and hard, why bother. • Duck leg: honestly good, crispy, flavorful, no complaints here. • Ugly mushroom pasta: delicious, rich, earthy, easily the best dish. • Trout: tasted fishy in a bad way, bland, and took forever to come out. For $45, that’s just embarrassing. • Plum upside-down cake: mild, boring, and not worth the calories. Also, I was seated at the bar and it was freezing cold the entire time. Between the attitude, the wait, and the mediocre food, this place is all hype and zero warmth, literally and figuratively.

Cozy date night idea - chef de cuisine is from one of my favorite restaurants in the city! They have many creative takes on the produces you can get at Farmers Market. The turnip tots was my favorite dish! Must try before they change the menu; they mentioned that they change it frequently! I'll definitely be back again.

We dined at Pomet for my wife's birthday and we were thoroughly pleased with the service and the food. This was the first time that we went to a $$$-$$$$ restaurant in the Bay Area and left fully happy. We ordered the butter lettuce salad, egg pudding and Korean quail for starters. The salad was delicious, pudding really good but the quail was the winner of the 3, smoky, tender and cooked to perfection. For mains we started with the duck which was super tasty. We finished with the steak and it was incredible. Really good, the winner of the night. We paired everything with a bottle of Zinfandel from their wine menu. It was probably the best Zinfandel that we've had for a while. For desert, we order the chiffon and we enjoyed every bite of it. Not overly sweet and creamy, just the right amount! Thank you Pomet!

It's an authentic farm to table fine dining restaurant with freshly cooked fusion cuisines. They have daily menu with reservation required. Reservation requires deposits. Service is quick and responsive. Flat entry for accessibility and wider tables could be accommodated upon retest. Every dish has a story of ingredients and process. Limited but high quality items with all options available. Food is delicious and freshly prepared to order. Ambient is worst and romantic, great for date night, couples and occasions.
