Exquisite. Let me tell you something. If you're or visiting Pittsburgh, you need to try Le Pommier. I was there for dinner on New Year's Eve and I can't find the words to describe my satisfaction. I congratulated the Executive Chef a number of times to the waiters. This guy put together a 5-course meal that is beyond imagination. Appetizers, salads, great main courses, you name it. To top it all off, the dessert was the icing on the cake. This is a must-visit!…
Alright food service could be better. The only thing French about it was the waiting staff with French attitudes. I had the Truitte Almondine which was alright but I could have ordered better fish at a chain restaurant. The rest of the party did not enjoy their dinner at all. They were turned off by the fact that we were told several times that we had to finish our dinner by 8:00 PM because another party had reservations. We eat out frequently all over Pittsburgh at small restaurants and after this experience we will not be returning here.…
What more Pittsburgh restaurants should aspire to.
I've eaten at a number of establishments in this city and most times I walk away disappointed. However, I can happily say that I walked away quite pleased from Le Pommier. In many restaurants the
wait staff mistake good service for not leaving you alone long enough to even get a bite in. The service here was pleasant but you weren't shooing your waiter away just so you could eat. The food itself was quite good and the house wine selection was excellent.
As for the poor reviews, I can presume every restaurant has a bad night and perhaps a few bad servers now and again, but I wouldn't let that scare you off. It's not like you have a lot of choices for French cuisine in this city anyway.
I would say that even if you're not a fan of French food, you'd do well here and certainly find something enjoyable.…
Sure Thing. First time I ever ate at a french restuarant, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. We had the best waitress ever. She had a very calming voice and was always showed up at the perfect time, but not too often either. We had the escargot as an appetizer (first time) and it was amazingly good. I had Scallops and my girlfriend got steak. Both dishes were beautifully served, perfectly portioned, and expertly prepared. We finished up with the desert sampler, which offered a good variety but was somewhat unsatisfying.…
Surprisingly good bistro in Pittsburgh. We were in Pittsburgh for just night and hoping to eat well. It was the first time for both of us in Pittsburgh, and I chose Le Pommier based on the reviews on this site since Zagat doesn't seem to cover the 'burgh. It was definitely the right decision. The restaurant is very casual and relaxed, and the food would have made us very happy even back in NYC. We have no shortage of good bistros in New York, but if Le Pommier were here I think we'd be regulars. The steak tartare, duck breast and hanger steak were all great bistro food, and they have a very nice all-French wine list with many reasonably-priced good bottles. (And some more expensive bottles as well.) The service was professional and charming but not overly formal. It was not a trendy sort of crowd, which we were very happy about; it was a room full of happy people enjoying good food. We'll definitely be back next time we're in town.…
