Pom's Signature Restaurant, Jacksonville

Poms Signature Restaurant in Tapestry Park is a Thai-infused eatery that spices up this side of Jacksonville. With its cocoa brown colored walls, gray cloth chairs and white linen tablecloths, and walnut wood floors give off an air of Asian elegance, while the menu combines French influences and Thailand mainstays. The infused menu is courtesy of Chef Pom Souvannosoth, formerly of Poms Bistro and Old Siam’s, and offers entrées such as the whole fried red snapper, done up with pineapple red curry, seasonal farm vegetables and jasmine rice, and a pan-roasted rock Cornish hen, complete with Shanghai bok choy and peanut curry sauce, served alongside organic medium-grain brown rice. Small plates like sautéed frog’s legs, crying tiger and rice cracker crusted ahi tuna are also mainstays, and each dish is plated elegantly and served by professional and well-trained staff.
