| - I've been driving past Don's Pomeroy House for years and was always intrigued by their lighted patio; it looked so romantic and beautiful. My husband surprised me this year with dinner at this gem for our anniversary.
I will agree with previous posters who said that the clientele seems to be mostly older but we still very much enjoyed ourselves. Our service was outstanding! There are people attending to your every need. Runners scouted the dining room consistently, whisking away glasses for refills of beverages, dirty plates were never left on table for longer than five minutes, and you weren't left just sort of "hanging" in between courses. Our server made herself available without being too overbearing by making sure to pass our table often should we need to get her attention.
The food was delicious; we took advantage of every area of the menu, ordering an appetizer, soup selection, salad, and both our meals. We were not disappointed by anything we tasted. We didn't get a chance to order dessert because the restaurant provided a complimentary one when they found out we were celebrating our anniversary. They also took our photo and gave it us with a card wishing us a Happy Anniversary. A nice touch, in my opinion.
The ambiance was terrific, as the restaurant is housed in a home dating back to the late 1800's. They have private party rooms upstairs, two dining rooms on the main floor, and pub-style eating (with bar) downstairs. The patio is gorgeous and I hope to visit again and sit there!
As expected, this was a more expensive place to dine but both my husband and I really enjoyed ourselves. We had a nice meal without feeling as though we needed to be dressy (we dressed business casual and felt completely comfortable). Give them a try!
