Perfect Pear Bistro

We stopped in and found out happy hour from 11 – 6. Tapas menu from 2 – 6. We had great tapas. My son had a 5 cheese grilled cheese. I tried it… It was unbelievable!!! We can’t wait to eat our way thru the menu. So many great sounding items! Did I mention the wine was delicious too.

To start I had a cherry mojito and oh my gosh was that good. I wish I had ordered 2 of those but probably best I only did the one even though I wasn’t driving. I had a strawberry walnut salad with spring greens. Fresh, crisp and satisfying. They have patio seating which is nice. Our server was very helpful in helping us choose our dishes. The menu is creative without being too far out there.

Went there for happy hour, has great service and food/​drinks were very good! Ambience was nice!

I ordered a quad city philly from perfect pair. It was a delight to have. The cheese dip appetizer was also something I would order again. Ambience was good; perfect pair could serve as a quick bite to get with your friends or a fancyish place to take your date. I would come back here for lunch and dinnerZ

This place has delicious food and exceptional service. I have been here for lunch a couple times and most recently a big Christmas party with over 20 people. The staff was prompt, friendly and wonderful food. Highly recommend to everyone!

Was so disappointed last night. We go often and generally the service is good and the food for the price is good. Not so last night. It was not over crowded, our server while pleasant enough was not at the usual quality. My Butternut Rigatoni came with linguine without my consent. It was also tepid. My husbands dish was also tepid. My butternut salad however was great!

I had high expectations of this place after hearing nothing but rave reviews from so many people, but really, it’s just ok. I came with a group of people from work for happy hour. I ordered a stout and it came out… frozen!!! I don’t know how this would happen, but it was like a slushy, which is not awesome for a beer. I shared the brie and the flatbread with a coworker and also tried the mac and cheese everyone raved about. The brie was just… brie with some sugar and bacon on top… it was fine, but it didn’t blow my mind. The flatbread was decent, but also nothing special. At least the items were on happy hour and only cost 8 $ for both. The mac and cheese was terrible, the sauce tasted like it came from frozen or something. It also took forever to get our bills, with each one of us having to ask for our bills individually. I probably wouldn’t come back here, but if you’re in the foothills, this is a decent place for happy hour.

Been a regular for about a year. Today was a disappointment. Food was ho hum, pasta was luke warm, sauce was dry, little flavor. Hoping next time its better.

I’ve been there several times and the quality of the food is like an elevator up and down I know the high school kids are trying real hard to cook the food right but I am done with this place in the foothills of Ahwatukee sorry

If I had to eat only one thing for the rest of my life, it would be their peach and pear cobbler. It is served warm with vanilla ice cream. It is seriously delicious!

If your menu has pasta as one of the mains it should come to the table hot, not lukewarm.

I went here with my mom for lunch. We both have never been to Perfect Pear before and we were looking forward to enjoying lunch together at a new restaurant.
We came in on a Thursday afternoon around 12 pm and were surprised to see that the restaurant was pretty busy. We were greeted right away by the owner and seated. Our server was very quick and took our orders and was very friendly.
The food was delicious and portioned well. My mother had the Quad City Melt and Greek side salad. She liked the sandwich and was too full to eat her side. I had the Spring Linguini with chicken and it was good. The sauce was flavorful and i liked the amount of veggies that was included in the dish. I had too much that I has to take the rest home. I saw other dishes served to other guests and the salads were huge and had a lot of yummy toppings.
The owner came by to check on how we were doing and we were pleased with how genuine she was with her service. You could tell in how she interacted with each guest that she cared about how their experience was. I noticed also that they have a decent tapas menu and a vast array of drinks, especially mules, for happy hour. I plan on taking my husband there soon to try them out.

My mom and I had the ½ salad ½ pasta. Excellent sauces & salad dressings. Nice atmosphere & great happy hour specials.

This was my third time here. A little disappointing this time. Apparently my server was more interested in her phone than refilling my iced tea. Had the chicken club. The ciabatta bread was dry and cold. Not toasted or grilled. Will be back but this time was not very good. Almost $ 27 for lunch and as I’m typing this my credit card is just sitting here waiting to be picked up. Where are you Elyse? Get off your phone and cash me out.

So, I have been a vegetarian for probably longer than you’ve been an adult, and just recently made the choice of being Vegan. It’s not easy, let me tell you. Not in this culture. But hey, that’s okay because I found the Perfect Pear Bistro. They have a great selection of vegan and vegetarian dish. My husband and I wanted to go out for our anniversary and chose this place. I loved it; it’s In the beautiful foothills of my little corner of Phoenix (Ahwatukee) and I loved the modern, industrial décor. We had a bottle of wine, my husband had some chicken pesto, and I had a pasta dish. Delicious! Because it was our anniversary, we were served a rich, complementary desert. Our experience was 5 star and I highly recommend Perfect Pear Bistro.

Really wanted to like this place. Heard so many good things from others who have gone.
Decided to go on a Saturday at 5pm ahead of any night time crowd. Place was half empty and when we were seated, we indicated that we had to be out by 6pm so that we could get to an event. Setting expectations with the server … Right? Started off with the server getting the drinks all wrong … Not good. We ordered two sandwiches, knowing they could be made in short order, light fare and we could be on our way. Three refills later on my beverage which we had to struggle to get, and our sandwiches arrived. It was now 550pm. We immediately asked for the check. It was hard to find the piece of chicken on the ridiculously large ciabatta bread. Wow … You can get a $ 9 sandwich here, just do not expect much on it.
We actually had to wave our hands in the air to get the attention of the server to take our credit card so we could get out. Which happened at 615pm.
We would have been better off ordering from Dominos or Macdonalds which are right next door.
Up your game in a big way if you want me back. WAY too many other good places around to have to settle for an experience like that.

My husband and I stopped by for a late lunch/​snack on a saturday. We were pleasantly surprised to learn that they had happy hour going on. We ordered a couple of appetizers and an entrée. The food was great. However I wish I could say the same about the service. We were rushed out of there and I’m not sure why as the restaurant was not overly busy. The server was rude, abrupt and quick to tap us out after just 1 drink each. She was rushing us from the beginning and seemed rather irritated that we didn’t know what we were having after just seconds of sitting down. About half way through our meal, instead of asking if we needed another drink she brought out the check (as we were still eating and had food on our plates!).

Food was very tasty and in large amounts perfect size to share. The Sicilian sandwich was delicious which I recommend

Amazing food. Have no complaints about any of the 10 different things we tried.
Went there for my birthday. Great beer selection!
Pretty good service. Not perfect. But not bad. It was pretty empty in there, so really no excuse.
No military discounts.

I really love this place — Especially for the ½ & ½ options when I’m feeling particularly indecisive. The salads are wonderful (though a better proportion in topping: lettuce ratio in the half size.) I really like the Perfect Pear Classic salad, the Wild Chop salad, and my new great love the Pear Blossom salad, pears, almonds, yellow raisins, quinoa, feta, and mint with a poppyseed dressing. I’ve tried the Mediterranean Mac & Cheese (roasted red peppers, caramelized onions, arugala, feta and cheesy pesto) as well as as the Creamy Mushroom Marsala pasta (caramelized onions, mushrooms and roasted garlic), but my favorite is the Athena’s Garden pasta (zucchini, arugula, caramelized onions, sauteed mushrooms, and garlic basil sauce) as the garlic flavor is quite strong and delicious. I really like that gluten free pasta is not extra and you can add a protein, salmon, chicken, sausage, etc., on to most things.
Service here has always been great and very attentive.
