This feature has been bugging me and many others no doubt for many years
and finally someone has done something about it instead of just whining
(like me). If you download the package by Martin Kraus referred to below
and recently posted on Wolfram's site your polygon will be plotted ok.
<< PolygonTriangulation`SimplePolygonTriangulation`
Show[TriangulateSimplePolygons3D[
Graphics3D[Polygon[{{2.5, Sqrt[3]/2, 0}, {3.5, Sqrt[3]/2, 0},
{4, Sqrt[3], 0}, {3, 2*Sqrt[3], 0}, {2, 2*Sqrt[3], 0},
{3, Sqrt[3], 0}} ]], Axes -> True]]
