Pomegranate, Redmond Wa

I like the Pomegranate Bistro in Redmond, Wa. I had always driven by for a long time before Natalie took me there for my birthday one year.

I don't know these people, but when I took the photo the little girl was laughing at me.

It's warm, nicely lit and has good food. Most of the food incorporates pomegranates somehow, and they have homemade bread. You also have a view of the cooks and some kind of industrial complex, where it looks like they either make beer or nuclear missiles.




For starters we had flat breads, and a warm mushroom salad. They were great, the salad was just about pure warmed mushrooms with toasted bread, and was wonderful. The breads were flat and cooked in a fire oven and were fun to eat alone or with the mushrooms.




For entrees, I had a roasted chicken and Natalie had pork chops. The roasted chicken had a mustard sauce, and my favorite part: little crispy fried sage leaves. I have never had something like that and they were great! I just wish there were more of them on the plate.

Natalie's pork chops had a pomegranate glaze, and were tender and flavorful.

For dessert we had pomegranate sorbet.

If you come to town we should go, it's pretty close to my house.
