There are no shortage of dining options in Cartytown and Pomegranate is one of the newest. Style Weekly tries it out and comes back with a positive review of the food but not so positive on the service.

Keep an ear out for the daily specials. On my third visit, my eyes light up when I hear house-made scrapple with a sunny-side-up egg and pancetta maple syrup ($12), ordering it with a duck fat buttermilk biscuit ($4) and spinach salad. When my food arrives, the biscuit is missing, so I question its absence. “Oh, did you want that now?” I was nonsensically asked. While I should have had my biscuit right from the start, it doesn’t impair my ability to enjoy LaCivita’s Cinderella take on the lowly combination, transforming hot scrapple and a warm, runny egg into a dish of refinement and satisfying depth brightened by the titillating sweetness of the syrup, sopped up with the tardy biscuit.
