Book club today at Perfect Pear Bistro. I had made a reservation for 5 but we ended up being six with a pupper. Staff was super welcoming and pets on the patio are okay. They even brought out a little bowl of water, which I thought was so sweet! Also, the patio is really nicely decorated, shaded, has fans and misters so it says comfortable. We ordered a variety of salads, sandwiches and soups. Everyone seemed to enjoy their food. I personally ordered the FRENCH PANTRY- chicken, brie, pears, red onions, arugula, grain mustard, balsamic glaze & four cheese blend... served on a toasted ciabatta w/ a side salad instead of fries. First, the side salad is gorgeous! Not the basic plate of lettuce you get some places and the sandwich was so big I took 3/4 of it home. Everything was super fresh and I'll definitely be back to try more! read more

I would have rated this restaurant 5-Stars if the chef did not pour so much sauce on the Crispy Korean Brussels and Cauliflower appetizer and the Spicy Ginger Quinoa Bowl. The sauces are flavorful and intense. We had to scrape off the sauce since the food was drenched. The Tuscan Rigatoni and Pear Cobb Wrap were very good. All the dishes were large portions. The indoor and outdoor ambiance made you feel very comfortable. The service was good too. The restaurant was busy until 6:45 pm because many of the patrons left to go to the ASU Gammage Theater. I would return to Perfect Pear Bistro; however, I will ask for less sauce. read more

The pair quesadilla was bomb! Would have never thought to put pear in a quesadilla, but it was perfect. The portion on the sandwiches were huge - so were the side dish fries it came with. The restaurant has a ton of seating, indoor and outdoor (covered with misters). Service was a little slow but we were there in between lunch and dinner and it was pretty busy. read more

I LOOOOVVEEE perfect pear bistro & got to try this location with family visiting from out of town. We got there early for lunch and it fills up fast on the patio. Their food is always so great! I love their buddha bowls and you can't go wrong with any of them. Their sangria is lovely as well. Overall, excellent experience, delicious food & attentive service. Keep on doing what you do Perfect pear! read more

I enjoyed my bowl here, but my husband wasn't a huge fan of his salad. I tried it as well and was underwhelmed. It's a fairly small restaurant, so we had to wait for seating. The drinks were just okay too. If I was in the area, I might come back for the bowl. read more

This is probably the best lunch spot in Tempe/entire Valley! Great portions delicious food and happy hour starts at open M-F. You read that right happy hour every day 11-6. Plus it's got great music indoor and outdoor space that's always a good vibe and descent service. The only negative is I don't know why they haven't installed those down door fans to keep flies out but the indoor space always has flies. So ODD but not a deal breaker read more

Fabulous menu lots of vegetarian style meals yet they also have protein. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal. I had the beet salad.

This place is very cute. The outdoor patio is covered and there's plants everywhere! Lights too. The service was swift and the food came out very fast. The menu doesn't label anything gluten free - they do say they can make any sandwich and pasta gluten free but would be nice to have the gf label for other categories like appetizers! We ordered the Buffalo cauliflower for appetizer since the Asian Brussel sprouts were not gluten free. They use a shared fryer but that's fine for us. The cauli was good! Not too spicy and I loved the touch of blue cheese on top. Huge portion. My dad and I got the same thing. Half tomato basil soup and half gluten free pesto mac and cheese. I loooved the soup. Some tomato chunks for good textural contrast. So creamy but not heavy. The mac and cheese had penne of course lol - all gluten free places only have penne so it wasn't anything special but appreciate the alternative anyway. It was creamy for sure, I would've liked more roasted pepper and caramelized onion but it was hearty and yummy nonetheless. Huge half portions. read more

Always a treat dining at Perfect Pear! This location is so cute, the dim lighting and string lights making for a cozy ambiance. We started with the Green Chile dip, which is a little on the thick side. It was paired with tortilla chips and crostinis. My friend and I both preferred the dip with the chips over the crostinis. My go-to order is the garden bowl with chicken added. I love all the roasted veggies in this dish, and the combination of a garlic lemon sauce, pesto, and feta cheese is so hearty and delicious. My friend opted for the Baja Lime salad, and was very refreshing and light! To finish off we shared the seasonal pumpkin brownie. I like pumpkin and i like brownie, but the combination of the two was not my favorite. I appreciated that the brownie was on the crispy side, making for a nice crunch with the ice cream. Service was friendly and prompt. Definitely a must try if you're near ASU! read more

Great vibe all around. Our server Maddy was fantastic -- super friendly and spot-on with her recommendations. We went with the buffalo cauliflower and the Quad City melt. The cauliflower was a fun twist with the chopped celery and shaved carrots on top, and every bite worked really well. The Quad City melt didn't exactly blow me away, but it was still solid, and the fries were absolutely perfect. My wife got the pear martini and loved it. Overall, a really enjoyable spot with great service and some standout bites. read more

Staying the night in town to catch the plane back home tomorrow morning so decided to try this cute little place... it was a great idea! Food was very fresh and healthy .. large portions including the salad! Definitely worth a visit! read more

Cute restaurant. Lots of patio space. Service was great. I ordered the blackberry mojito which was tasty and did a half pasta dish with half soup. I went with the sweet potato, kale and chicken soup with the creamy mushroom Marsala pasta with chicken added. Everything was so delicious and just the right amount of portion size. Warning. If you order a regular pasta dish, they are big enough to be shared among two people. I ended the night with their delicious peach and pear cobbler! I loved everything about this spot! read more

A friend was in town and we decided to grab dinner in the area. We originally were going to filthy animal, but we didn't make a reservation. Honestly, I'm not bummed at all because Perfect Pear was awesome. The inside is dimly lit and cool with nice tables. The menu is simple items with a nice versions of pasta, bowls, salad, and soups. We got the Korean Brussels and cauliflower as an app and that was one of the best things I've tasted in a while. I enjoyed the little sunflower seeds they added for some texture. I opted for a 1/2 soup 1/2 pasta option which I was glad they had because I couldn't make up my mind. I had the clam chowder which was yummy and honestly was a generous portion. I was expecting a much smaller bowl for a 1/2 so it was a pleasant surprise. For the pasta I had the Tuscan pasta and swapped the feta cheese for parm via recommendation of our waitress (who was great as well). The pasta was fresh and tasted good, but nothing too over the top. The chicken could probably use a bit more seasoning. Last we had the peach cobbler for dessert and was a great way to close out the meal. Overall a great experience with great food. I would definitely like to come back and try some of their other dishes :) read more

Really mid service, not friendly, not rude, just plain and rushed. way louder in there than the vibe should be for a place like this, server didn't even hear our order correctly. Overall really overhyped for basic sandwiches, salads and pastas read more

The food and drinks are so delicious. I ordered the La Lucy salad, Lemon Garlic Linguini, and this delicious mocktail. My mouth is watering just thinking about it! The ambiance is so intimate and homey out on the patio. I can't wait to go back! read more

This was a hidden little gem we stumbled upon while visiting the Tempe area. The Brie & mushroom soup was absolutely delicious, and the pasta was heavenly too. The Pear salad was really good also. Everyone at our table was very satisfied with their meals. The staff was outgoing and we received our food in a timely manner. I would definitely recommend this restaurant. read more

What a fun discovery! Loved the food. Nice atmosphere. I'm vegan and found plenty of delicious food to eat. We're from out of town and took a chance. Loved it We'll be back. read more

Made a reservation over a month ago for 25 people on the patio by the fireplace call yesterday to confirm everything and the lady on the phone said she was a manager said no somebody is in that area I asked her to accommodate me she got snappy saying you typically rent the patio if you want your choice then she abruptly said I don't need to listen to this I'll move you have a good day and hung up so I called the other location on priest very kind said they would definitely accommodate me out of courtesy I call to cancel and she continued to be rude and say good read more

Great food, good service, love patio dining. I'll be back again. Definitely a winner!

Wow! I'm upset at myself for not trying this place sooner. We sat at the bar, service was great and the bartenders were helpful in recommending seasonal drinks and food options. I got their pear mule which was fantastic (my sister got a lychee mojito- also great). Happy hour from 3-6 saved us 2 dollars per drink! The bacon on our fall salad was so crispy and delicious. The sweet potato fries were crispy, seasoned well, and my favorite part of the meal! read more

I walked into The Perfect Pear Bistro for takeout, I had heard very good things and wanted to give it a shot. The first thing I noticed is it's got a great ambiance, and if you were sitting there, you might think you were anywhere else in the world besides downtown Tempe, because it has its very own unique and charmful vibe. Getting the takeout was easy, everyone was friendly, and I got the Strawberry Field Salad. The salad was amazing. Next time I get it, I would probably ask for no onions--because although onions do make a salad great, I was eating it with someone else, and the amount of onions would render my breath unusable for a good 12-15 hours. Luckily for me, I usually carry Altoids, so I had something curiously strong to combat the onions that I ended up shoveling into my mouth. Because after all, the salad was delicious, the ingredients were fresh, the portion size was plentiful, the strawberries were delectable--and I don't use that word, delectable, very often unless I'm talking about strawberries of a high caliber. I will look forward to going back and eating in, and when I do, I'll update the review accordingly. But I look forward to going back to The Perfect Pear. Note I added a picture of the salad, but only show two shrimp, it came with six for all of you people who use the shrimp to salad ratio as a barometer for overall life happiness. read more

A fine American restaurant with simple options like sandwiches, salads, and pastas. Nothing of note, but not bad.

Perfect Pear Bistro is always one of my favorite places to stop for lunch. My coworkers and I stopped by for lunch and absolutely loved our meal. It was a party of 6 of us and they were able to seat us within 10 minutes, even during the busy time. Our waitress was great, and brought out extra Arnold palmer for us to refill throughout our meal. My sandwich was divine, per usual. I love the melty cheese and sauce on it. It is so light and refreshing in a hot day. I got sweet potato fries this time as my side, which were perfectly crispy. We sat outside and enjoyed the nice weather and misters on the patio while we ate. We had such a great time! read more

This is some of the most unique and fresh food I've found while staying in Phoenix. Their food is so tasty and it's not wildly overpriced like other restaurants in the area. The servers there work really hard and my water was never below halfway full. The outdoor seating ambiance was absolutely a vibe and I'm definitely coming back here next time I'm in the valley! read more

Went to University Drive location. Arrived early (thankfully!) and had a delicious salad that didn't skimp on the chicken, tasted great, and was quite the serving. Service was good. Price was right. It was packed as we left! Check it out. read more

I've been eyeing this place for a couple of years, and my mom and I finally tried it out for lunch on a Thursday! We arrived at around 11:45 and the parking lot was already full. Thankfully, we found street parking on the opposite side of the building. Even though it was a packed lot, we were still able to sit down right away (even though our options were at the bar or outside since the inside was completely full). We opted to sit at the bar since it was quite breezy outside. Our server came around quickly, started us off with waters, and it wasn't long until we placed our orders. I ordered the La Lucy in a wrap with chicken and a side of sweet potato fries. Whenever there are sweet potato fries on the menu as a side, TRUST I will be getting them. My mom ordered the Mediterranean in a wrap with chicken and a side of the sweet potato fries too. Overall, the fries were the best part of the meal. The wraps, on the other hand, we'd give them a 3/5 stars. My wrap was hefty! I could barely fit my mouth around it lol. However, just because the portion was big, doesn't mean it was a good thing. The tortillas were very thin and became slimy/soggy almost immediately. My mom's first half of her wrap fell apart on her and she had to eat the rest with a fork and knife. I took some of my wrap home and had it later for dinner, and couldn't eat it as a wrap because the tortilla completely fell apart. Not to mention the ingredients made everything slide right out of it. Also, the feta cheese in my wrap tasted almost like blue cheese (blue cheese is disgusting). The chicken didn't have much flavor and a lot of bits were hard/crunchy. It felt like I was eating tendons or something? I don't know, but when the tortilla falls apart and you have to eat it with a fork and knife, you're able to dissect it easily lol. Other than that, the service was good and quick, but for the price point, we were expecting more of a wow factor. read more

Service wasn't as PERFECT and could use some work. It took us 15 min for the hostess to see us. It took an additional 20 min to get someone to take our order. I had to flag down the hostess to get someone to take our order. I was taking it pretty personal as I saw others getting service who came in after we sat down. However, I must admit, after you get over the horrible neglect, the food is pretty darn tasty. We split a Mexican quinoa bowl. The server was nice enough to redeem the restaurant and split our meal in half into two bowls. The dessert was the best. We got the apple and pear cobbler. It was scratch made and was delicious. It wasn't too sugary and came warm with 3 scoops of vanilla ice cream. Overall, I'd come back again if the service improves. read more

Love this place...so many good things to eat! They have decent vegetarian options as well (so I'm told) so they accommodate to different preferences for food consumption :) Shot over here with a friend for lunch and thankfully beat the lunch rush. Love their outdoor seating this time of year so we ate outside. The space was clean and organized. Garrett was great and gave some great suggestions and super professional. We started with the crispy brussel sprouts and cauliflower. They are amazing and my favorite part of the meal! Also shared the Green Chili Mac with bacon. Great flavor and a little kick and the cheese sauce was spot on. Lastly, the Paco's Tacos (grilled chicken, avocado, bacon, etc) was good. My friend got the Falafel Tacos and she said they were great. On a scale of 1 - 10, this is a great lunch spot with good food...if you haven't tried it, you should. I'll be back! read more

I walked in about an hour before closing time and did not want to dine in so close to closing time, so I decided to order takeout and come back to my hotel room. I had looked up this place before arriving and had about four or five things circled on the menu that I wanted. The team member at the bar helped me choose what she liked best from those items, and she did not steer me wrong! The Tukee Pear Quesadilla was phenomenal--even better with the Southwest cream sauce--and the Paco's Tacos were great. Although I wish I could have chosen two different tacos because I would have liked to have tried the Butternut Squash taco, I understand why they do it. The Perfect Pear Classic and Fall Leaves salads, and the Autumn Roast Quinoa Bowl were the other items on my list to try. I look forward to visiting again on my next trip to Phoenix to sample more of this great menu! read more

I visited this spot for a nice brunch with my partner. Upon walking through the patio space we were greeted immediately, with our server letting us know that they'll clean off a table right away. We were seated less than 5 minutes later. We decided to sit outside since it was relatively nice out. The menues were very nice and had a good amount of options on them, but I would like to mention that on the beverages menu it said they had seasonal lemonade which is something they did not have. When we went it was pretty busy with most tables being filled outside and a good amount inside being taken as well. Dispite that our server was back and ready to take our orders in 10 minutes. I ordered the Bacon Jalapeno grilled cheese and with a side of Tomato Basil soup and my partner ordered the Carnitas tacos. About 20 minutes into our waiting for our food we were approached by a server offereiung us a complimentary plate of nachos for the long wait for our food. The nachos serving size was very nice good enough for four people and WOW were they good. We soon after received our food and it was pretty good. The grilled cheese was really good dipped in the tomato soup, the nachos were very refreshing and delicious and the carnitas tacos were very tasteful. I would also like to mention while we were there I finished my first glass of water quite early despite that no one came to refill it. Other than that and the semi long wait it was very nice, the food was good, the ambiance was nice, overall a good experience. read more

Casual ambiance with a robust selection of sandwiches and beverages at reasonable prices. The quad city melt had a perfect balance of meat and cheese and toasted to perfection. Paired with the sweet potato fries made for a wonderful meal. A very large patio with an abundance of misters made it very comfortable sitting outside on a warm evening.

This was regarding my visit 10/13/2024 right before we went to the Kevin Hart Show in Phoenix... To get to host stand, you walk through patio. The misters were on, the weather was nice, and the vibe was great. It was around 5pm on Sunday, 10/13. Host was kind; she pretty much gave us free range to pick where we wanted to sit which was nice. Me and my mom were waiting on a third person to arrive for about 3-4 minutes. The server walked over with waters as our third was arriving. I feel like you should atleast greet your table in the first 1 minute of them sitting down, but I did also realize the longer we were there that our server was aaaalso bartending for some of the tables. Anyway, EVERYTHING we ate was delicious. Since I'm just now coming back to this drafted review, I don't remember what I was gonna say. I will say that my pear and the other pear drink I got were really good. I got the chicken and pesto sandwich, but I asked to add bacon and avocado... It was absolutely delicious. I swore I jotted down my servers name and the other lady, but I can't find them. All I can say was my server of a brunette and she was also bartender. Her, and the girl who brought over my replacement fries were aaaaawesome. Thank you for an amazing experience. We had a great experience at your other location, so thank you for doing a great job lol, my mother has went back to this place twice by herself because she enjoyed it so much we went. read more

Food: 6/5 Green chili queso and chips: 3/5 The queso was sharp and thick. The chips are too thin for my liking. I would have preferred thicker chips. Overall, the dish was average and nothing special. Black and blue Brussels sprouts: 7/5 Absolutely outstanding. I have come back at least 3 times within the last 3 months for this dish. The salty bacon and bitter blue cheese are such a strong and powerful flavor combination by themselves already. However, when sprinkled on top of charred Brussels sprouts, it is phenomenal. Not to mention that the portion is huge! It is enough to feed 3-4 people as an appetizer and 2 people as a meal. This is the standout dish and must be tried for yourself! Pacos tacos: 5/5 If you are looking for authentic tacos, this is not it. However, this was delicious! The chicken, bacon, avocado, and sprouts made for a flavorful bite. The micro green garnish adds dimension to the dish. The sweet potato fries are fun zig zags and crunchy. A perfect side dish. Service: 5/5 The waiter was attentive and quick with our food as well as bringing our check when he noticed we were done. Ambience: 5/5 The North Tempe location so far has been my favorite. The outdoor seating is charming and inviting. The indoor seating is lively and bustling. You can't go wrong. Overall, the black and blue Brussels sprouts are to die for. Don't sleep on this place! read more
