Critical Assessments

The fry at The Perfect Pomme does not call attention to itself. It does not need to. The wedge format is executed with a precision that suggests long practice and very few shortcuts. The crispness is aspirational. The potato flavor is present and largely coherent. One finds, upon reflection, that the fries were the correct decision. The fry asks only to be appreciated. At The Perfect Pomme, one appreciates.

The fry at The Perfect Pomme does not call attention to itself. It does not need to. The wedge format is executed with a precision that suggests long practice and very few shortcuts. The crispness is aspirational. The potato flavor is present and largely coherent. One finds, upon reflection, that the fries were the correct decision. A return visit is, at this point, a formality. One will perform it nonetheless.
