We had an amazing time here. I have been to their original location in the north suburbs and enjoyed it, but found this location to be a more elevated and delicious experience. The menu is filled with French classics, but each dish had just enough of a twist to make them special. The ambiance is warm and lovely, modern but with some classic regality. We will likely come back to sit at the bar and enjoy some oysters when there isn't enough planning for a reservation.

Petit Pomeroy has a beautiful atmosphere — the space itself is lovely and inviting. Unfortunately, the food and service didn’t quite match the setting. Most of the dishes were just okay, with the beef bourguignon being the standout of the meal. The onion soup lacked seasoning, the duck fat potatoes were awful (it must be an acquired taste because they smelled bad) and overall, nothing really stood out. Service was also mediocre. It’s a nice place to sit and enjoy the ambiance, but the experience didn’t quite live up to expectations.

This is my favorite French restaurant in Chicago. The lobster risotto is spectacular with a deep seafood flavor, creamy texture and chunks of lobster in every bite. It’s divine. Everything we had from the steak tartare to the apple tart was on point and they made my birthday feel special.

So, tonight, I got a bouillabaisse from here by UberEats. They had a defective packaging, so most of the broth spilled out. Without the broth, everything turned ice cold real quick (especially in today's weather)
This sounds like a complaint, but it's not (UberEats refunded the whole thing anyway). We tasted what was left of the broth and the seafood and... Oh Dear Lord in Heaven this is the best bouillabaisse we've ever had even with most of the broth gone and the seafood cold. We were literally licking the plate, and seriously thought about licking the inside of the bag that the bouillabaisse leaked onto.
I gotta go in person and try it now. Bravo to this place.

The most fabulous French restaurant all over U.S. Visiting from CA and I was very surprised of how authentic the foods are. Literally it feels like I am in Paris. Highly recommend their escargots and onion soup. One of the best escargots I’ve ever tried including from Paris. The service was top of the line too. Very courteous and accommodating. Thank you for the great experience.

I visited Petit Pomeroy for a solo dinner in early July of this year. It was on my mind all summer and even now, I find myself wishing we had one on the East Coast. Chris was my server and he provided an excellent dining experience. He knew the menu, checked in at appropriate times, and was clearly very experienced in fine dining. His service alone would be enough for me to come back on my next trip to Chicago. Overall the food was delicious and I've listed details below.
TUNA TARTARE NIÇOISE: Haricot Verts, Cured Egg Yolk, Potato Gaufrettes 10/10 - Texture pairing was PHENOMENAL. The crisps are sooo thin, they basically crunch and melt when you eat them. Sauces were delicious, scraped the plate.
MACARONI AU GRATIN: 10/10 - Gruyere was excellent, the cheese pull was beautiful and every single bite had a rich slightly nutty flavor.
Bœuf Bourguignon Braised Short Rib, Pommes Purées, Root Vegetables, Red Wine Jus 8.5/10 - Beautifully plated and cooked to perfection in terms of texture. The meat tasted slightly undersalted, jus felt a bit light on the tongue, and I would've liked more puree.
LA BELLE COCKTAIL: Gin, Braulio, Cranberry Jam, Lime 10/10 - Sharp then sweet like sour patch candy. I was genuinely sad that I finished it so quickly.
APPLE TARTE TARTIN Puff Pastry, Caramel Apples, French Vanilla Gelato 10/10 - Puff pastry layers were such a great match for the apples. The caramelized top reminded me of old school pineapple upside cake in the best way. Homemade gelato was very balanced and had a perfectly creamy texture. I could eat this every day, wow.

My family and I had such a wonderful dining experience! The French onion soup was easily one of the best I’ve ever tasted . It was rich, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. Our server, Blue, truly elevated the evening. He struck the perfect balance of being attentive without ever making us feel rushed, and he checked in just the right amount to make sure we were enjoying ourselves. His warm, thoughtful service really made the meal memorable.

We grabbed an unreal BOGO on Uber Eats and can confirm that their Burger Royale and Duck Fat Potatoes are elite. Very high quality experience with delivery, too. The burger meat, all the accompaniments, the packaging, the freshness and how everything held up was incredibly well done. The staff is very aware of what is happening and it feels seamless/caring service.
We would and will be returning to pay full price for the burger and to try other things because it was delicious!
Well, we tried to have a drink and dinner at the bar last night, but the bartender was too busy to attend to us. She was busy making service bar drinks, and after 5 minutes, tossed 2 menus at us and said, “here ya go” and returned to making service bar drinks. After another 5 minutes of being ignored by her, we just left. The bar back did serve us water while we were waiting. Just a disappointment as we live in the neighborhood and want these local spots to succeed.
