MICHELIN Guide's Point Of View

Three Stars: Exceptional cuisine

The phrase "farm-to-table" is by now undoubtedly well-worn, but here the cliché takes on a literal dimension. Proprietor Aomboon Deasy is also a farmer, best known as the owner of K&J Orchards, a longtime darling of Bay Area farmers' markets thanks to its top-notch tree fruit. At Pomet, the menu is unsurprisingly ingredient-driven, proudly proclaiming the myriad local farms that supply it (in addition to Deasy's own). Whether it’s oysters with Niitaka pear and cider mignonette, or pasta filled with a puree of “ugly mushrooms” and sauced with a celery root miso butter, simplicity is a virtue when ingredients are this good. Case in point: the meal ends with a complimentary slice of whatever seasonal fruit is currently at its peak.

"The team here unites the owner of a family-owned farm with the chef; we work with regenerative ranchers for our beef, lamb, pork, chicken; wood pruned from the farm or retired trees are used in our wood fire oven."
