“Pomeroy is a cozy spot for French food lovers, but it’s on the pricey side. I visited with a friend; she ordered a salad with beef, and I had a salad and two glasses of wine. She had one glass. In the end, we each paid $80. It’s a bit surprising how fast the cost adds up. So, while the food and place are nice, be prepared for the price.“
“In September of 2023, George Trois streamlined from an 8-10 course tasting menu to a 4 course prix fixe menu with wine pairings. We jumped a the chance to experience Chef Michael's higher end cuisine under less strenuous conditions, and were very pleased. Our meal consisted of seared sweetbreads for me and goat cheese salad for Kelly, then splitting a dover sole , followed by saddle of venison for me, Tornadoes Rossini for Kelly, and then wrapping up with chocolate souffle. Everything was top notch. The sweetbreads were earthy and delicious and presented on a bed of polenta and adorned with an explosion of crispy fried leeks, which were like exquisite fried onion strings. The dover sole was perfection, firm and buttery. The venison was Chef Michael's classic preparation with chestnut puree and sweet potato gratin, in a huckleberry sauce. This is the best venison I have ever had and a must eat dish, which you can sometimes get at Aboyer, as well. I need to eat it every year. Kelly loved her steak and the chocoate souffle, a bit sized portion, was perfectly executed. Our wine pairings throughout the meal were exceptional, but they do not include the dessert course - at least they didn't that evening. No worries, though, as they have an excellent selection of bourbon. I strongly recommend my Francophiles visiting here as soon as possible, who knows when Chef Michael will go back to a larger format! George Trois is a private dining room inside the Aboyer restaurant. It has only 6-8 tables, depending on the arrangement and size of parties. The room itself is almost uniformly white, and brighter than you might expect or prefer for an elegant evening. It has a subdued vibe to it, but you will hear noise from Aboyer when guests or servers enter or leave the room. But these are minor quibbles and not something that detracts from one of the finest French dining experiences in the Chicago area.“
“Incredible food! This is such a great option to have restaurant high quality Meals specially prepared to be taken home! I have tried most items, and often get some sides & appetizers, to have for lunch next day. I especially love the eggplant Parmigiano, Sour Cherry saffron rice, Prosciutto & mushroom pasta, etc. Service is really friendly, with the proprietor hands on! I highly recommend this local treasure!“
“Food was outstanding. Wait staff seemed a little disorganized & confused about who was waiting on our table. As a result, one person in our party waited forever to get his cocktails. Restaurant is too small to have live music; very difficult to carry on a conversation.“
