Perfect Pear Bistro

Alright place, nothing to really write home about, a fancier version of other sit down chain-​bistros. Décor is nice, chill, and quiet when we went on a Friday night even though there were other groups of people there having a good time too. Was kinda confused on why they sent out the soup/​salad with the main dishes though… but I think that’s just how the menu is setup? I ordered G’Mas Mac ‘n’ Cheese w/​bacon on top which was good (can’t go wrong with mac ‘n’ cheese though)! Their Iced Watermelon Black Tea was good too.
Service was slow when we went, but our waitress was nice~ if you’re in the mood for a quiet place to eat by yourself or with your family, it’s a nice place to go to in this very robust area.

Came with a friend and it was packed! Great food and cocktails. The pear mule takes the cake and the salads were filling! Definitely going back again!

Firsts time here. The menu had a great selection. Mikayla provided great service! Answered all out questions and provided great suggestions after asking a few questions to see what we were looking for. Nice ambience, great happy hour with delicious and well priced tapas and drinks even on Sundays. Lots of vegetarian friendly options as well.

I absolutely love this place, everything I try is amazing! Perfect pear grilled cheese and pacos pear taco, splitting plates w my mom to try more… Def yumm!

Amazing food. With a diverse and flavorful menu, this restaurant has something for everyone and is priced affordably for healthier options. I got the hummus nachos to start and they were excellent as well as the New Harvest sandwich was very tasty. I highly recommend and cant wait to come back.

Good food ordered the bacon jalapeño grilled cheese, so yummy. Sweet potatoe fries and the watermelon ice tea was good. Will definitely come back. thanks again.

They have five different grilled cheese sandwiches! And they are all very delicious! They rank in the following order:
1) Perfectly grilled cheese
Also 1) Bacon & jalapeño (I can’t decide which one is better. This one is gooey and has the perfect amount of spice)
3) Pesto
4) Grilled goodness
5) Mushroom melt
Also, the sweet potato fries are so good. I don’t even like sweet potato fries and will always choose regular fries over them, but not at Perfect Pear.

What a cute little place. I had a wonderful lunch here. Prices are average and the waitresses were great. Can’t wait to visit AZ again to go back.

Stopped in for a business lunch when I was in town. A nice little bistro with indoor and outdoor seating. They were packed for lunch, and while we were seated fairly quickly, the wait staff was a little slow in getting us drinks and grabbing our order. Probably not a place to grab a ‘quick’ lunch, but with how busy they were, it was forgivable. Their menu has a number of vegetarian and gluten free items, and everything is freshly made. I opted for their ‘Perfectly Grilled Cheese’, and it was a great spin on a classic grilled cheese. Two thick pieces of their spiced pear bread gave it a slightly sweet taste countered by the bacon and four cheeses. Not your average grilled cheese sandwich. Perfect portion for lunch. I would definitely stop back in.

My friend ask me «Where you you wanna eat?». My reply «Anywhere with a happy hour and GOOD food». She took me here. Our server was amazing, (her named started with a J) everything she recommended, I was sold on. My food was savory and I was SPEECHLESS, THE beverage program was AMAZING, I let my server pick my entrée and WOW I was impressed. I had the chicken curry soup (WOW. I know curry and that, I wanted the recipe), next my meal with sweet potato fries and a svory panini (her choice), I was speechless. I ATE THE WHOLE THING.
I HAD AMAZING SERVICE
I HAD GREAT FOOD
I HAD GREAT DRINKS AND BEER (FOR A REASONABLE PRICE)
YOU HAD ME AT PERFECT.
I’ll be back tho.
Thanks.
I’m a server and I couldn’t complain about a thing.

Mouth Fist Manifesto: this place is so good, it made me want to mouth fist myself to continue enjoying the deliciousness still clinging to my buttery, peary appendage.
Butternut squash tacos with quinoa, feta, grilled corn. Flatbread with pear, bacon, goat cheese, hazelnuts. Pear bread grilled cheese with bacon and arugula.
Pear Martini? Check. Pear French 75? Double check.
Locally owned and intimate. I just peared in my mouth… and I liked it.

Finally had a chance to get to Perfect Pear! It was lunch time, so as usually pretty busy. Took a few minutes to have the hostess greet us and then ask if we wanted to sit at the bar, since there were no tables, so we sat at the bar.
We were asked for our drinks right away and got then really quick. Our order was taken and food came out in a timely manner. I got the southwest philly with the seasonal side. It wasn’t bad, it had great flavor, meat was cooked perfectly and the sauce was great!
My only issue was that it seemed disorganized. The person that took our drink order, was not the same as the person who took our food order, and then we had someone else ask if we wanted our check and brought it out. Everyone seemed to be working in so many different stations and not on particular ones. The restaurant needs to do get a little more organized to be more efficient.
Overall, a nice first visit.

Well. 3 ½ stars. A nice little place. Fairly clean (bathroom was a mess… that usually bothers me). Atmosphere a bit modern… nice. Staff was friendly. Service good. Started with an appetizer off the happy hour menu. Brie and bacon and a fruit with toasted bread. Portion small. Brie baked to almost a rock. However is was tasty.
Had PACO’S PEAR TACOS roasted chicken, crispy bacon, cheddar cheese, avocado, southwest cream sauce & sprouts… topped with our spicy pear pico. The taco was nestled in two corn tortillas. Yes a double dose of tortilla per taco. Lots of tortilla. At least it was a good tortilla. Two smallish tacos. But not bad. Priced around $ 7.99. Overall flavor not bad. Was not spicy. I really have no complaints. The value was good. I just was not overwhelmed.

So I finally made my way here today! I couldn’t decide between the BLT or the chicken club, but I decided to order the latter. Unfortunately, though, I wasn’t able to stay and eat due to a time constraint, but when I did eat it in my car (I was parked), it was SO GOOD. The chicken was tender and juicy, the aioli was on point, the bacon was crispy, and the bread was warm and soft; everything about it was amazing. I am probably going to go back tomorrow to try the BLT, but honestly, everything sounds SO good.
Oh and props to the server that let the bartender know I was seated at the bar! The bartender came over immediately even though she was swamped. Thumbs up on customer service! :”)

I pass this place frequently and always say «I need to try that place sometime»
Tonight was the night. I love the vegetarian and gluten free options offered on the menu. I had the roasted butternut tacos and they were delish! I will definitely be back to try some other items. I was happy to see that they have a patio. My favorite way to dine especially with such amazing weather right now. I look forward to returning

Yay! I’m a fan! I love Perfect Pair Bistro, I really wish I had one near me. The menu is simple and healthy, easy to understand.
Happy hour wine, beer, and small plates are fair, all priced around $ 5, and even offered on weekends! Happy hour on cocktails are still sorta reasonable at $ 7.5 considering they don’t skimp too much.
I’ve come here for an occasional dinner with my girlfriends who live in Awhatukee. The first time I ordered a soup and quesadilla, both were so good! My most recent trip I ordered a soup and salad, again– hit it out of the park. While these seem like easy orders, the taste and delivery is fresh and unique — for example, my bistro salad had toasted hazelnuts, goat cheese, and a homemade vinaigrette dressing — so different from the regular, stale, franchised taste of Paradise Bakery or Panera.
The menu is so simple to read with plenty of options. A section for sandwiches, grilled cheeses, pastas, salads — wide variety, but all listed separately in categories under same price. The ½ and ½ mix is the way to go in my opinion to get a wider range of what’s offered.
I cannot wait to explore more of the menu.
I’ve been here twice and i love the menu, ambiance, and concept for a casual bistro with great wine, beer and drink offerings. I deduct a star based on service. Both times have been a Saturday, 6pm dinner, and we all felt rushed, despite plenty of open seating. We were a small group of girls catching up, chatting, having fun, and we were given our bill before being offered another glass of wine, or dessert, etc. This is an excellent opportunity for the staff to showcase more of the restaurant’s talented menu selections.
All in all, I’ll be returning. But I just wish the service was a better part of the overall experience.

I came here with a friend on Monday evening. It was around 6pm, but it wasn’t too packed so we were able to get a seat pretty easily.
I liked how it wasn’t noisy — I was able to hear my friend without having to speak above my normal voice. Our server was friendly and checked up on us a couple times but not annoyingly often.
We ordered the pear salsa and chips. This was okay. I didn’t taste any pear or see pear and the chips were just regular chips you get at a grocery store. It was pretty spicy though, so I would be careful ordering this if you can’t handle spicy foods.
I ordered the Perfectly Grilled Cheese [$ 9] with the tomato basil soup instead of the fries because I like dipping grilled cheese into tomato soup. I thought the sandwich was great, really yummy. The portion was perfect for me too. The bread i

I was very impressed with this place. The inside looks just like it did when NYPD was there, new paint and new tables. It’s a small place so it can get loud. Menu was a plethora of choices and I chose the BLTA, blt w avocado. Super yummy and the focaccia bread was light and tasty. I love that you can choose sweet potato fries! Service was attentive and friendly. Will def be back!

I wouldn’t say this place is GOOD for kids (as the page description says), as its your typical quiet bistro, not a Peter Piper, but there were a lot of families in there with young children when we went. I attribute this to being within the Ahwatukee area which is bustling with young families.
Service definitely did not have me writing home, but the food was pretty good. I likely won’t come back, because it just wasn’t my vibe, but that does not affect my rating.
I came here with the hubby for restaurant week, so our food included appetizers and meals. The quesadilla was good– but the dipping sauce was absolutely fantastic. I don’t know what it was, just that it was awesome!
As others mentioned, the jalapeño mac and cheese was a classic, with a kick. Portions weren’t huge, but we had appetizers so it was fine. I ordered an cranberry/​apple salad and it was good as well.
Overall, cute spot; I won’t drive the 15 – 20 minutes it takes for me to get there, but I am glad I tried out a new place for restaurant week!

A new go-​to spot!
Food:
In short, amazing! Based on other Unilocal tips and reviews, I ordered the Bacon Jalapeño Grilled Cheese. This was really flavorful, and a good combination. In place of fries I substituted the Mushroom and Brie soup, which was also very good. To be honest, I prefer the mushroom soup at Café Zupas because it has more mushrooms, but I wouldn’t hesitate to get it again at Perfect Pear.
Cost:
A little pricey but worth it it! My tab for the soup and sandwich (just water to drink) was about $ 12.50.
Service:
The hostess and server (Aja) were very pleasant, and service was prompt. And the place was ~¾ full.
Atmosphere:
Pleasant, although it was a bit noisy with the open spaces and music. Comfortable booth.
Overall:
The menu is intriguing, I will definitely be back!
