Poached Pear Bistro

We dined at Poached Pear this week. It was our second time there. Both times the food and service were top notch. They have a great menu and really good specials. Our server Cherie was really great. She is both pleasant and knowledgeable of the menu. We will look forward to our next visit!

Street parking, which was free. BYOB. Reservations were made for 5pm, but not necessary, for 5 6pm on a Sunday. Tables are close, music low, with so few tables filled, you could hear all conversations(they opened at 5). Sandy was our server, who was friendly, attentive and made great suggestions. Bravo to Sandy! Food is reasonably priced and the byob stops you from breaking the bank. The food... Apps Cajun fried calamari top 5 calamari I 've ever had. Crispy, not chewy, with a creole sauce. The husband prefers it with marinara sauce, sauce didn 't matter to me. Corn Bisque YUM! YUM! YUM! I 'm not a huge fan of soups/bisques/chowders, but say corn and i 'm all in! The bisque was smooth as silk, with just the right amount of bacon crumbles and goat cheese to give it some bite. I shared this with the husband Main courses Lobster, crabcake and spinach inside a fried wonton wrapper over a truffle potatoes this was one of the specials of the night. This was really good, lobster was shelled and laying on top of a crabcake inside a fried wonton shell. Anchor coffee rubbed NY strip the husband had this and it wss pretty amazing I preferred this over thr lobster (for real). Idk if it was a case of FOMO, or that it was actually better than the lobster. Meat was seasoned well, cooked perfectly that it melted in your mouth. It comes with a risotto and some asparagus fries, but he also ordered a side of fries. The fries are pretty basic, delish but nothing extraordinary it was fries. We passed on dessert, because all of the above was very filling. Highly recommend, and byob!!

We ate here the other night and really enjoyed our meals. The corn bisque and lobster bisque were excellent and the short rib carpaccio was delicious! For dinner, we tried a variety of dishes. The lamb chops were very good, as were the scallops. But our favorite entree was the pork chop, which was cooked perfectly and delicious! We would absolutely come back!

We had the pleasure of Nick being our waiter. By far the best waiter I have ever had. It was my 31st birthday and he sure made it wonderful. Then speaking with the owner about how much we enjoyed it and how lovely Nick was his reaction made it so worth going the extra mile to express how much we loved his business. I told all my family members and I will make sure to go there everytime I visit point pleasant. Beautiful place, the food was MAGICAL. All around one of the best places I have been to!

Absolutely delicious from beginning to end! I took my fiance for his birthday the Poached Pear did not disappoint! we both had specials: the corvina new York strip. we also tried the grilled octopus special, it was out of this world! everything was plated beautifully, fresh came out nice hot! Both sauces were very flavorful, steak was cooked perfectly great portion sizes. Not to mention our server was attentive timely the entire time. Just an overall wonderful experience atmosphere. Cant wait to come back!
