- Worst Chilean Food...!!!
Read More On Citysearch by Miguel152 at Citysearch 7/21/2011 - Unfortunately Too Expensive!
Read More On Citysearch by Robinson crusoe at Citysearch 5/9/2011 - disappointedVery strange experience. We had a reservation yet still had to wait even though the place was half empty. Owner sat us at a table that was squished into a corner that we could not fit into so he kindly sat us at a bigger table. We waited a long time to order . Owner came over several times to discuss menu and was very nice and concerned that we were waiting too long. I couldn't decide to order ...
Read More On Citysearch eatsfor2 2/21/2010 - Good FoodIt was my first time eating Chilean food and it the food was real good. The beef empanad with the salsa that the restaurant makes is delish. My only issue with the place was that they took forever to take our order. Twice we ordered wine and they forgot to bring it to us. They tend to forget about you. Which get a little annoying after a while.

Read More On Citysearch mrspeer 9/5/2008 - Overpriced, bad service, average foodChilean food is great, so it is particularly sad that this place is so bad. It is WAY overpriced (expect $60 per person at the very least without drinks). The food is good but definitely NOT that good, so you should really avoid this place. It seems most people already do, for the place was almost empty the whole evening. The service is awful. The waiter was obviously too concerned about the chec...
Read More On Citysearch Antar 3/3/2008 - Great food but way over priced
I only discovered this place recently while searching for someplace different and unique to take my date after seeing a play. I had read other reviews that called it overpriced, and that back in its hey day it offered much better food at a much better price. The food was terrific, it really was, both me and my date were pleased with the portions, the flavor, the seasoning, and the care that went ...
Read More On Citysearch Jr22173 2/23/2008 - Didn't quite live up to our high expectationsWe had dinner at Pomaire last weekend with our college age niece, who had spent a semester in Chile and was anxious for us to taste the native cuisine. She loved Pomaire; the rest of us...not quite so much.
The restaurant has a nice feel; it is bright and cozy, and the owners/waiters are mostly friendly and accomodating.
The empenadas were fantastic, as was the corn topped casserole (pastel de ...
Read More On Citysearch iwabi 1/2/2008 - Great Ambiance, Friendly Staff...Too much $$$We got there and while the place is small, it's beautifully decorated and has a wonderful warm ambiance. The staff, espescially the manager, was so helpful and knowledgable and made you feel welcome. He even gave us (party of 5) some of their signature wine at the end of our meal, free. And while the food was tasty and unique, I find that the price for the dishes were a bit much. For example, I h...
Read More On Citysearch marisolicious 12/13/2007 - Excellent in every category.I love this restaurant and will go out of my way to eat there. First is the food - it's delicious and very well prepared. I was thinking about what we ate there days afterwards. What we ordered: ceviche, empanadas (which were very fancy...for empanadas), steak (done perfectly), and seafood casserole (the best dish, i thought). Second is the wine - WOW! We're not wine freaks, but the vino th...

Read More On Citysearch bettyboopnro 11/2/2006 - Very disappointed!!We were great fans of Pomaire for many years, most of all because their special atmosphere brought us a little bit of our heart from Chile, especially for their great ethnic food and very reasonable average prices they used to have in the past. However lately their food and service are changing drastically. The quality of the food is not the same, I will say less than mediocre, the portions are...
Read More On Citysearch ivafirst 10/28/2006 - Lovely rustic setting. Great seafood and deserts. Welcoming/knowledgeable restaurateur.Pomaire is a hidden gem in the theater district/restaurant row (often crowded with Italian restaurants) and perhaps the only or one of the few places specializing in both traditional and nouveau Chilean in NYC. Chilean food is not as spicy (which we like) as other Latin American fare but Pomaire's cuisine is always tasty and hearty. The Congrio, is a personal favorite, a white fish often topped w...
Read More On Citysearch asommelier 10/19/2006 - Friendly staff, family feel, elegant plating and tasty foodRecommended by a coworker, I took visiting cousin and girlfriend to Pomaire for the prix-fix dinner. We all enjoyed the ambience and dishes. The butternut squash cappucino is superb.
Read More On Citysearch purestar 8/26/2006 - Great service, food and atmosphereA last minute dinner plan with a co-worker had us ending up at Pomaire by simply walking down 46th Street. I should have recognized that this place was a gem by the kind gentleman outside in front and his inviting demeanor to dine at Pomaire. Once we walked in, the decor and atmosphere made you feel as if you had traveled far away from the chaos of Times Square just a few blocks away. The food...

Read More On Citysearch flakita 6/19/2006 - Chile con gustoExcellent choice, for pre-theater or whenever. Menu concentrates on seafood and the kitchen delivers every time. Chilean food is mild (nothing to do with chiles) but full of natural flavors. Portions are Euro-sized, which makes for guiltless dining. The wine list is impressive. Check out the "wine of the week" and/or follow the advice of the owner/manager. He's passionate about the wines of...
Read More On Citysearch kaibab1 6/6/2006 - What a great placeI went to pomaire with a friend to get some insight into a upcoming trip to chile that my friend was leaving for. Was I ever happy I decided to go! This place should be a model for other establishments in NYC!!! The staff was friendly,and attentive but not breathing down your back at the same time. The owner was happy to explain to us the menu and recommend dishes for us to try. I had a fish entr...
Read More On Citysearch gerron 3/5/2006 - Disappointing...will never go back againWe were super excited to try Pomaire on a rainy afternoon in the city, now I wish we would've just stayed in. When we got there, we were ignored by the female hostess who was too busy talking on the phone (she remained on the phone for the next hour!). Not only did we have to wait about 20 minutes for the waiter to take our orders, we watched the woman at the other table get up to ask for the c...
Read More On Citysearch allaboutfood 1/12/2006 - Great (almost) Chilean food.At Pomaire, you can get authentic Chilean food such as baked empanadas, Chilean salad (tomatoes & onions), lucuma merengue, suspiro del poeta (with papayas instead of peaches), and many others. Of course, there is always pisco sour. Yum. Overall, great place to get tasty Chilean food. Many of the main courses are a bit more flavorful than you'd usually find in Chile. (Spices on Chilean food?...
Read More On Citysearch zeebo_mockingbird 10/15/2005 - Charming and UniqueThe owner is charming - when he found that my dinner companion had been to Chile, he lavished us with attention. They will offer a pre-theater prix fixe meal, but only reluctantly. We instead ordered entrees only and they were huge portions; congria (one of the fresh fish of the day) and the Chilean meat pie. Both wonderfully prepared with unusual flavors. There was also a unique salsa on the...

Read More On Citysearch lupi 6/8/2005 - AwesomeAwesome place. Good food, excellent service.
Try out the "Pisci sour", the Chilean national drink.
Corn Tamale is amazing. We ordered a second round of it. Will defintely visit again.Street parking.

Read More On Citysearch alexispagis 9/26/2004 - An absolute diamondIf only every restaurant were like this: simple, elegant, warm. The staff couldn't have been better. They were charming, knowlegable and made excellent suggestions without being pushy. The food was remarkable for its simplistic perfection. The seafood au gratin was to die for: a souffle-light dream of a dish. I cannot recommend Pomaire too highly.
Read More On Citysearch dana_green23 8/3/2004 - PomaireWhile the seating is a bit cramped the atmosphere and friendly, prompt service made up for it. We had a pleasant leisurely dinner but certainly could have made the time pass more quickly if we so desired. The appetizer and salad we chose were good - not great. BUT the 2 main course fish dishes were exceptional - nicely presented, generously portioned, and delicious. We went with recommendatio...

The Chilean wine list is also very good. The owner, who has greeted us at the door every time, is extremely warm and gracious and seems to take enourmous pride in what he does. He took the time to explain each dish to us and gave us some great recommendati...
Read More On Citysearch sarigold 3/5/2004 - Great Chilean RestaurantThis restaurant is a great Chilean Restaurant. I'm chilean and this is the only chilean restaurant in New York City that I know about. The food is excellent and the service is great! It is small but cozy and romantic. The drinks are also great. I recommend trying the Pisco Sour. The only downfall is that this restaurant can be a little pricey.
If you want a taste of Chile, have money, and ...
Read More On Citysearch wensyg 10/21/2003 - Authentic Chilean CuisineWe found Pomaire to be an excellent place to eat. My fiancee's mother is from Chile and she was so excited because the food was just like her mother makes. I recommend trying an empanada as an appetizer, and the Sangria was very good also.
