| - I went to Pomegranate for the first time with three friends last night and loved it. The service was excellent but not stifling and the food was delicious and affordable.
As the three of us had never been to the restaurant before, we asked the server's advice about what to order. We are all omnivore/carnivores, but one person in our party is lactose intolerant, which we mentioned to the server. We'd picked some appetizers (dolmeh and charred eggplant dip - both delicious and piping hot when they arrived) and the server expertly recommended three dishes as an introduction into Persian cuisine, all of which were complex and filling.
We shared the dessert plate of three pastries, which was a perfect end to the meal. With drinks (they have a decent wine selection, too), appetizers, mains and a shared dessert, the bill came to around $100 for the three of us, which was amazing value for the great meal.
I can see how this place would be challenging for vegetarians, however, as most of the curried and stewed dishes are very meat-focused.
I will definitely go back, probably bringing out-of-town guests to try it out as it's a comfortable atmosphere with great food and reliable, friendly service.
