“What a beautiful place with great food and service. We had steak tartare ( small portion than we expected), French onion soup &muscles marines ( best one we ever had), lobster risotto ( top notch). Our server Chris is fantastic. He provided us such a great suggestions about what they have. Definitely will come back for French cuisine”

“Authentic French cuisine in a refined bistro atmosphere. We were impressed from the start with how tasty and well presented everything was! We started with a humble baguette and french butter, you’d think that wouldn’t be much to write home about, yet the toasty warm bread and traditional French butter just hit the spot! For an appetizer we had the tomato tart and for entrees we had the lobster risotto, steak pommes frites, and a halibut special. Definitely check out petit pomeroy, the vibes are perfect and the food is delicious. We’ll be back!”

“Amazing place. Went with the Wife on a Monday night. The food is really top quality and the taste is very good. Nice atmosphere and 50% off on bottles of wine on Monday. Blue was our server and he was excellent. Definitely we would return when back in Chicago.”

“Delicious French food surrounded by great romantic atmosphere”

“Had some really good food the other night. Good service and ambiance as well. Had the onion soup, le pomeroy salad, lobster risotto, filet au poivre, maple bourbon creme brulee and a couple of drinks. The steak was perfectly cooked and we loved the creme brulee. Overall, had a great time and would defenitely come back.”

“Celebrating my birthday here was a solid decision. The menu has a great variety, and the portions are actually reasonable for the price. The foie gras was exactly what I was expecting: creamy and incredible. They even split the onion soup into two bowls for us, which was a nice touch. Both the mussels and the lobster risotto were 10/10. The service was helpful without being overbearing. Once they realized it was my birthday, they brought out a free dessert with a candle. Great atmosphere. I’d definitely recommend it.”

“Absolutely amazing night at Petit Pomeroy this past weekend to celebrate my boyfriends birthday! The service was absolutely amazing, accompanied by such a flavorful meal. This place was truly an experience and I can’t wait to return!”

“Came here for our monthly supper club and it didn’t disappoint! Everything was very good. The onion soup, oysters, the short rib, and risotto were memorable. I was in between the lobster risotto and the short rib and I think I should have gotten the short rib because it was yummy! Would come again. Cocktails were great as well”

“Always excellent. Intimate bar. Instead of the bar at Sophia Steak, visit Christiane at Petit Pomeroy Wednesday through Sunday.”

“Best beef bourguignon I’ve had so far. Mom was also very impressed by the Steak and Frites.”

“Our first visit to Petit Pomeroy was absolutely outstanding, and we will definitely be back. The food was fantastic across the board. The tomato tarte was out of this world and an absolute must-order. The mussels were perfectly cooked, the frisée salad was spot-on, and the short rib bourguignon was rich, comforting, and executed flawlessly. To finish, the crème brûlée was another clear hit. Add to that a great cocktail program and a strong wine selection, and the menu truly shines. Service elevated the entire experience. Paige, the hostess, couldn’t have been more friendly, professional, or energetic—she set the tone immediately. Paul, our server, was extremely attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely warm throughout the meal. From food to drinks to service, the entire experience was completely on point. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a memorable, high-quality dining experience.”
