Chicago Romantic & Gorgeous Meal ✨ Crème Brûlée to Cry For 🍮

Petit Pomeroy 📍 748 N State St, Chicago, IL 60654 Celebrated a birthday here and they offered a special Birthday Menu 🎂 — the emotional touch was everything! Plus, everyone gets a complimentary drink 🥂. ✨ Appetizers: 🧅 Onion Soup Gratinée – Topped with a thick layer of melted mozzarella, with soft bread cubes and silky caramelized onions inside. Savory and deeply flavorful. 🐤 Chicken Liver Mousse – Not gamey at all, generous portion, but a bit salty (maybe needed more bread?). Served with what I thought were black olives and candied orange peel 🍊… turned out to be carrot strips? Took a big bite and wasn’t a fan. Optional order. ✨ Mains: 🐚 Bouillabaisse “Seafood Platter” – Mussels, scallops, lobster, shrimp 🦐, and bread. That thing on the left that looks like a crab leg? It’s not! 😂 We only realized after a while — it’s sauce-covered bread (not baguette or sourdough). Tasted like tomato-braised eggplant 🍆 — delicious though! The shrimp were super springy! Mussels were on the smaller side (maybe off-season). 🦞 Lobster Risotto – SO GOOD, SO GOOD ✨ Sometimes amazing food needs no lengthy description — just order it! Savory, creamy, rich but not heavy. Loaded with tender, bouncy lobster meat. Hands-down the best dish of the night!!! 🍮 Dessert: Crème Brûlée ✨ – Thin, crisp caramel layer over a luxuriously thick and silky custard. So good I skipped birthday cake for this! Left feeling happily full and already planning my next visit 😍. (Though they wouldn’t give me a to-go cup for my drink 😅) Definitely a restaurant I’ll return to again and again! #ChicagoArea #ChicagoLife #ChicagoRestaurants #FrenchCuisine #StudentEats
