The Poached Pear

Poached Pear is a charming restaurant, where the food, service, atmosphere, and ambiance combine to create a lovely dining experience. That is why as nearby residents we keep the Pear as a constant in our dining repertoire. On a cold winter evening you will be greeted by the warmth and coziness of Poached Pear, whose vestibule is thoughtfully enclosed to keep the cold away from the diners inside. Even the entrance is warm. You will be greeted with warmth, too, then taken to your seat where the pleasant staff treats you as you always hope, as more than a number. That friendliness is backed by excellent service throughout your meal and a team of staff members will ensure your happiness. The ambiance is lovely, thanks not only to the decor and lighting in the room, but also thanks to the t

We visited The Poached Pear Bistro and started with the mushroom soup special and the corn chowder—both flavorful and well-seasoned. For the mains, we had the scallops and the lamb shank special, and both were excellent. The ambience and menu felt classic and inviting, and the food was thoughtfully prepared. Our waitress, Kris, was wonderful—she described the specials so well that everything sounded tempting.

Never heard of this restaurant until recently and when I brought it up around friends; they raved. Let me tell you, this place did not disappoint. From the apps to dessert, everything was absolutely delicious. Our steaks were incredibly tender and flavorful. Give this place a try. I will definitely make a trip back. Thank you for making our wedding anniversary memorable.

My family had an amazing dinner at this restaurant. The atmosphere is very nice, a little noisy when busy but nothing too bad. The wait staff were very courteous and quick. We got their brined pork chop, their new York strip steak, halibut and spatzle dish. They were all phenomenal. The pork chop was falling off the bone to perfection, the mashed potatoes are seasoned and pureed very well. The halibut was very flavorful and the spatzle dish was also impressive. My dish was the new York strip which was cooked perfectly - medium rare, the sauce it came with complemented it very well and the vegetables were also seasoned and cooked impeccably. The only down side is we are not local to this restaurant so we cannot come here on a frequent basis. Otherwise we would!

Ordered the $60 NY Strip medium rare, it came out medium well. It was tender but way overcooked, that should never happen. I ate it because I did t have time to send it back. Owner did the right thing by taking it off my bill, but I wud have preferred to pay for a steak properly cooked as I ordered. Cardinal rule for a steak is never overcook it. Waiter also was in a rush, very curt, I know they were busy. Overall, very disappointing for a highly regarded restaurant
