The Pomeroy — Restaurant in New York

A Perfectly Cozy Date Night at The Pomeroy!

We celebrated two weeks of being married with a date night at The Pomeroy during Astoria Restaurant Week, and it was fantastic! We chose to sit at the corner of the bar instead of a table (plenty were available), and it turned out to be a perfect cozy spot for people-watching and soaking in the vibe.

I ordered the Restaurant Week special and kicked things off with the frickles – crispy, tangy, and paired with a sauce that was chef’s kiss. We also requested the chipotle dipping sauce, which added a spicy kick – highly recommend doing both! For the main, I had the braised beef with creamy mashed potatoes, carrots, and asparagus. Every bite was hearty and full of flavor. For dessert, they had run out of the apple pie, which worked out perfectly because I had secretly hoped to sub in the cheesecake – and it did not disappoint! Creamy, sweet, and indulgent.

To sip: I had a pilsner, a glass of prosecco, and an espresso martini (because why not celebrate properly?) – all were excellent and balanced. My husband got the salmon, served with a bright vegetable medley and a vibrant green sauce. He loved it. He kept it classic with Tito’s martinis, straight up with a twist – smooth and strong, just the way he likes them.

We shared the frickles, split my cheesecake, and he also had the crème brûlée, which was beautifully torched and perfectly creamy underneath.

The service was fast, super friendly, and genuinely kind – plus, even the water came in chilled glasses, which is such a small touch but speaks volumes. The atmosphere was lively and fun, and while there were a few overly enthusiastic bar patrons (it was a Saturday night, after all), it didn’t take away from the warm and vibrant energy of the place.

We left happy, full, and already planning to come back. Thanks, Pomeroy, for a night...

Unfortunate… the waiters and cooks were amazing (Chicken wings A+, I’m sure others would agree) and delightful to be around, and the bartender a great guy… too bad management had to rear their heads. At multiple points I watched as they berated a latino employee with racist remarks (thinly veiled threats about their immigration status when they weren’t working “fast” enough, among others), mocked a person with a disability who was at a larger table, demanded multiple drinks FOR THEMSELVES while the bartender was already overwhelmed with customers, one of them PUT THEIR HANDS ON A FEMALE EMPLOYEE( One of those things that is shocking so was hard to process it actually happened) and brought a general attitude of harassment to their employees (At one point they knocked down a tray a waiter was carrying, then blamed the waiter for what was obviously their fault). I can’t in good conscience enjoy good food and service knowing the place is run by unethical and abusive management. I expect better from small business’s in our community… To management: I’m genuinely interested to investigate just who you are and how many labor rights you MAY be actively violating… I’m sure the NLRB as well as local unions and labor lawyers would have a thing or two to say…

P.S. Don’t bother with a “All a misunderstanding come get a free drink” response… I understand ethical and legal labor practices perfectly fine… if you really care (you don’t) you’ll find someone who actually knows how to run a business and treat employees with basic respect. What a shameful reality all around, if I could give no...
