Perfect Pear Bistro

Went on a Saturday evening around 7P, half full but took about 15 minutes for server to make it to table (4 server's observed in all). Seated a few tables away from front door, and with temp 55 outside, a bit cold inside. Started with queso dip, which was warm, not hot. All dinner entries were good, as were cocktails. This was first visit and would deffinatly go back.

Perfect Pear was a pleasant surprise - it's a kind of a cross of "casual meets upscale" in a brewery type of space. The food was less junkified but fun with a wholesome twist. Something for pretty much everyone and nothing complicated on the menu, in my humble opinion. Loved the fun food "grilled cheese" part of the menu (and that's what I opted for - and it was very good). I loved the creative cocktail menu - the fresh pear martini was excellent. It is a nice space to enjoy a meal where you can actually hear yourselves talking. No TVs blasting in the background = no distractions on date night.... The service was perfect and the restaurant felt exceptionally clean while we were there. Def a "go-to" place for me when in town!

We are visiting AZ. This place is amazing. Fantastic food, I couldn't decide what to get. Got Crispy Korean Brussels and Cauli as app. Wow!! Then got the SW Philly with Myshroom Brie soup. My wife got Pesto Grilled cheese. So damn good!! Service was excellent! I will come back here before we leave to go back to Va. My wife and I agreed maybe we'll move here just to eat here!! 😋

Believe the positive reviews of this little bistro! We have ordered takeout before, but this was our first dine in. First, the service was excellent! Our server gave some great recommendations and was prompt and courteous throughout our visit. Second, it was clean! The restaurant itself was clean and bright and service stations, etc were organized and not trashy and unappetizing to see. The restroom was clean and obviously regularly checked as we visited on a busy lunch hour. Third, the food was delicious and fresh! They got me to eat tomato soup and I do NOT like tomato soup! This one was hot and creamy and the spices were warm and enticing...not just basil. There was garlic and the surprise of coriander! I find myself craving it. I had a Perfect Pear grilled cheese, which was good, but always overpriced, no matter what or where. Very skimpy on the arugula. However, combined with that soup...dreamy. My hub had the Cuban (NOT really a Cuban...) which was a grilled ham sandwich on Rye. It was well made. He said fries were adequate. I think the salads and healthier choices like bowls and salads (Coconut Curry bowl, Spicy Ginger bowl, Pear Cobb salad, Fall Leaves Salad) are where this place really shines for me and I'll stick to them going forward--with some tomato soup! They also have some interesting sounding tacos and pasta dishes.

We intended to go to another restaurant near here. We waited and waited then left looking for something else and ended up here. The staff was super friendly and the food was awesome. A little spicy but I was able to overlook. Will definitely return and recommend. By the way, got the text from the other place as we were finishing up here ( hour 40 minute wait. Their food isn't that good anymore. )

Update: went for dinner and had an equally pleasant experience. This time we enjoyed the pesto Mac with salmon & the ginger bowl with shrimp. Both were full of flavor! Went for lunch and had a great first experience. The service was fantastic, and the food was just as great. We tried the falafel tacos which were filling & very unique, and we had the green garden quinoa bowl which was a large portion and perfectly prepared - full of flavor! Did not try any drinks, but would definitely go back for happy hour as the menu looked great.
