Pomona in the Papers
“Either write something worth reading or do something worth writing.”
— Benjamin Franklin
"Stationed proudly a few steps away from the Plaza Hotel and stunning Central Park, Pomona's critically-acclaimed fare has garnered worthy attention and praise from refined palates and The New York Times alike for its inventive concoctions."
"The venue gives whispers of the past without feeling dated or stuffy, and the vibe is surprisingly informal, making the food the real star of the 'show'."
"To really understand what all the fuss is about surrounding Pomona, you'll just have to taste it for yourself..." - Pulsd.com
We couldn't agree more!
Pomona's story is told through the experiences and tales of our artfully crafted menu and attention to detail. It's this focus on greatness, that perpetuates a steady narrative in the news and press week in and week out. As Benjamin Franklin urged, we strive to do and create things worth writing about.
These are but the latest chapters of our amazing tale. In the words of others.

Pomona Opens, Serving Inventive American Fare
Michael Vignola, who was the original executive chef at Henry at Life Hotel, and Rachid Abdelouahad, who was director of operations at Strip House and Blue Water Grill, among others, have joined forces to move into the underground space that was the clubby Beautique for a few years. The Midtown location was also at one point Shezan, a chic Indian restaurant designed by the architect Charles Gwathmey.There’s no trace of it in Jason Henning’s design, which includes butterscotch leather banquettes, polished wood in amber tones, lanternlike lights and several archways. This time around, there will be a tiny lounge area on the street level. Downstairs, there’s a bar, main dining room, a smaller room with tile flooring, and an even smaller private room. To the rear, past the bar and through the kitchen, is a lounge. Mr. Vignola is serving inventive American fare like foie gras sliders, potato and mackerel terrine, slow-cooked halibut, rib-eye for two cooked two ways, and a duck burger. The restaurant is named for a Roman goddess of abundance.

EATER: POMONA
American restaurant Pomona opened in the former Beautique space, serving foie gras sliders, potato and mackerel terrine, and slow-cooked halibut. It comes from former Henry at Life Hotel executive chef Michael Vignola. 8 West 58th St., near Fifth Avenue
GRUB STREET: POMONA OPENS
Sample New York’s newest over-the-top burger, which is made with confit duck leg. Duck: It’s everywhere. But what about a duck burger? There’s one on the menu at the brand-new Pomona (8 West 58th Street), a New York–nostalgic restaurant from the duo who worked at places like Strip House and Daniel. (They also ran the short-lived first iteration of Henry.) That pricey bird burger ($38) is one complicated patty. It’s made with ground duck breast, chopped liver, scraps of foie gras, and confit leg meat, which is all spiced up. After grilling, it’s rested into a duck jus with orange, and served on a brioche bun with duck-skin mayo, orange zest, mustard, and grapefruit jam. (The rest of the menu similarly retrofits many other steakhouses and meaty classics.)

INFATUATION: POMONA NYC
Pomona is across the street from the Plaza Hotel and underneath the Paris Theater, and while you will find a $19 shrimp cocktail and a royal caviar eclair on the menu, this place doesn’t feel stuffy. There’s a casual bar space, a dining room with big orange leather booths, and music like Christine and the Queens on the speakers. The food is on the heavy side - they serve goose fat tater tots and a duck confit burger with duck skin mayo and duck jus. Come here when you want an upscale dinner and are OK with $40 entrees, but don’t want to feel out of place wearing jeans.
