    Great food, some of the best cook on fried calamari we’ve had, was so tender. The vegetarian risotto was so tasty, loved the duck, and grand marnier crepe cake was an excellent way to end the meal. Will definitely come back soon.

    Poached Pear Bistro is consistently excellent. It’s my personal favorite. It’s superior to anything around the area. The food is prepared with love because it is always delicious. The service is impeccable. The restaurant is manicured to perfection. Tables are spaced perfectly. I absolutely love dining here. It’s hard to get a reservation but it’s worth waiting for. I would eat here every night if I could.

    my wife and I have been going here for many years and we love this place. The food is always delicious. Service is always great. My only minor complaint is that I noticed that the portion sizes have gotten a little smaller. My wife and I got the halibut dinner and it was definitely only a 3 to 4 ounce piece of fish. I know they were smaller because my wife was actually able to finish her dinner which she never does. Other than that the place is great.
