User Reviews for Pomegranate

My fiance took me to Pomegranate to celebrate my birthday. The atmosphere was romantic and cozy--dim lighting with individual candles on each table. We were seated promptly, and the service was excellent. I read up on the restaurant before we went and was cautious about the supposedly "petite portions" mentioned in the editorial review on this site, but our portions were actually quite large. The pumpkin puree appetizer was one of the best things I've ever tasted. I had a (huge!) pasta dish--fettucinne with fresh basil, tomatoes, etc. and he had a big steak. Our food was delicious, followed by creme brulee for dessert. Absolutely wonderful. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a quiet, romantic evening.
Pros: Wonderful ambience, excellent food
Cons: Could be busy at lunch.

Tried this spot for lunch recently... honestly must say it was the best lunch I've ever had. Strawberry Basil soup, Tenderloin Sandwich, and Creme Brulee for desert. It was divine. Very inventive creations. Our server was attentive and kind, and our meal arrived promptly. I really had no problems with the prices or the proportions. I left full and content. Simply delicious. You must try.
Pros: delicious, inventive, friendly

The menu is very varied, and all the combinations sounded so tempting. First courses were okay but the main courses were world class . . service was pleasant and prompt, maybe just a touch pretentious, but then it was worth it for the food. Desserts were light and delicious, not cheap, but really an evening to remember . . .

We recently moved to Richmond from San Francisco. Needless to say we were a little nervous about dining out here. We tried Pomegranate a month or so after arriving and haven't found anything that matches it. Creative cuisine prepared with just the right spice, and side dishes. The taste is unbeatable in Richmond for lunch or dinner (it rivals many SF restaurants too!) The prices are good, wine is reasonable (compared to SF and NY) and the atmosphere is just right. Keep up the great stuff Pomegranate!
Pros: great taste, inventive menu, great atmosphere
Cons: speed of service

We (a party of three) were very disappointed with the food at Pomegranate. The restaurant is lovely, even though a little too dark for my tastes. We all had high anticipation of the food due to the excellent reviews posted on this website. The foie gras appetizer was very good, the soup du jour tasted like brine, the daily special was so small the men in the group left hungry and my stuffed chop could have been better. We will not return since it was pricey for mediocre food. There is better (and cheaper) in Richmond.
Pros: location
Cons: Expensive

Living in the Los Angeles area has spoiled us with really great restaurants. We were concerned about finding something with the flare and quality that we are used to. Pomegranate was just right. It has an interesting menu and my mouth still waters thinking about our meals. We had great service however some people walked out when the restaurant filled up and they had to wait too long for service. Their loss....
