    Celebrating our anniversary and glad we chose Poached Pear. We ordered the octopus appetizer to share and it came with grilled shrimp. I was delicious. My wife ordered the halibut and I had the Ahi tuna with soba noodles. The portions were generous and the food was cooked to perfection. We both enjoyed our meals and actually left with some to take home. It is BYOB, so we enjoyed the wine we bought with our meals. We were full from our dinners, so just ordered cappuccino and a coffee. The waitress brought over a complimentary vanilla gelato with a candle for our anniversary. O Ive a nice experience.

    Mark and Scott are still producing top shelf dishes since they opened this gem. Went with a few friends (one for their first time) and we all walked out saying each meal was EXCELLENT. The server was knowledgeable and efficient. We shall all be back soon!
