Restaurant of the Month: P

Last night Kelly and I enjoyed the warm weather and had dinner on the patio at Pomme Cafe & Wine Bar. Pomme is a little sidewalk cafe located in the heart of Clayton.  I have walked past it many times and always thought I should give it try sometime so it was the perfect choice for the month!  Being 5:00 on a Tuesday evening the restaurant was empty when I arrived but by the time we left a couple of hours later it was beginning to fill up.  I decided to take advantage of the dry weather and sit outside.  The patio is small but shaded and is the perfect spot to enjoy a glass of wine on a summer evening.  While I wasn't inside long, the atmosphere was nice and cozy with brick walls and a chalkboard menu.












I had checked out the menu ahead of time and my mouth was watering at the thought of several options!  I decided to keep it light and go with the Veggie Sandwich which consisted of roasted red peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers and lettuce on whole grain bread spread with hummus.  It was served with roasted potatoes and the veggie of the day which happened to broccoli and cauliflower.  The sandwich was very good.   The hummus added a lot of flavor and I wasn't stuffed even after polishing off the whole thing!  Kelly had the Smoked Salmon BLT: smoked salmon, with bacon, lettuce & tomato on grilled white bread with whole grain mustard.  It looked amazing and according to Kelly it tasted just as good! 

Overall we had a great experience at Pomme Cafe.  It's someplace that I look forward to going back to and trying some of the other dishes that sounded tasty!  I'd also like to venture a couple of doors down and try out Pomme Restaurant, their more upscale sister restaurant.
