| - This is one of those reviews where I'm relying on my college brain to remember my experience. So, lets just keep our fingers (and toes) crossed that I didn't kill off too many cells back then...
Don's Pomeroy House always seems to escape my mind when I'm thinking of nice steak houses to dine at in Cleveland. And let me tell you, it's not because I had a bad experience. In fact, I remember the food being very good--traditional, but tasty.
The decor is a ton of dark woods, with a little romance and again, very traditional. You definitely get the charm of dining in an old house. Inside and out, it's adorable and whimsical enough to make you forget you're in the middle of suburb-a-hell.
I'm not sure if they've changed the menu since I visited last, but I think the whole place could probably use just a little updating, menu including. There is nothing wrong with a traditional steak house menu, but I think you can change a little bit with the times. You know, have a few modern twists on your menu just to liven things up. A little update never hurt anyone. Again, I'm not sure what has changed since I've been there, but even the decor looked a little--umm, for lack of a better word, old.
So, why four stars still? Well, I'm actually looking forward to rediscovering this place. It's truly special. I mean, it's in the middle of chain/big box suburbia (read: Strongsville), yet it still maintains it's locally-owned business charm. Besides, I certainly think the food and the restaurant is worth driving out and giving it a try at least once--that is, if it's still anything like I remember.
Anyways... who's coming with me? I'm in the mood for some steak! Anyone? Bueller?
