"Pompette is an all-day cafe, and it’s one of those cute little restaurants with plants and hanging globe lights that’ll make you say, “What a cute little restaurant” when you walk in with some friends. The menu is mainly small plates from a team of chefs who worked at tasting menu spots like Alinea, Elske, and Moody Tongue. They have tasty things like crab croquettes sitting on saffron aioli or grilled shrimp with butternut squash for dinner, along with seasonal quiches and a veggie hash when you need to answer the call of midweek brunch." - john ringor, adrian kane, nick allen
