    This place is super cute and the patio is dog friendly! The food was pretty good; I always enjoy their pasta, wraps, and warm bowls but this time we just shared appetizers. Portions were good as well. The drinks were alright but a bit boring- probably wouldn't order again. The server was friendly but we felt like she was rushing us to leave even though there were many open tables inside and outside. Will be coming back again though

    This is the Yelp payoff. Visiting the Phoenix area and looking for a nice little spot for dinner. What a fantastic find! Sorry if the menu photos are a bit repetitive - and the photo of what was left of the soup! There was just a fantastic assortment of tastes going on, I had to share. There was nothing to say about this place that was negative except that my stomach just won't accommodate all the tastes I wanted to try! The service was wonderful and the food was all so delicious and we tried all kinds of things from the Pear Mule to the Mushroom Brie Soup - oh so good! What a gem!

    What a find in the heart of Tempe! A friend invited me to lunch here on. Monday and wow, they were busy! Full parking lot! That was good sign. We shared a Berry Avocado Quinoa Bowl and a Perfectly Grilled Cheese. They even plated them separately for us! (2 plates with half a grilled cheese and French fries on each and 2 bowls with our Berry Avocado quinoa! So sweet and helpful!) Everything was very delicious--fries were seasoned and crispy! The grilled cheese and sweet and salty (they use their spiced pear bread, a delicious four cheese blend and bacon). Quinoa bowl was very hearty! The space was cozy and not too loud--my friend and I were able to catch up without having to raise out voices. Cannot wait to come back to try the rest of their menu!

    The butternut squash tacos were pretty good but to my surprise, the beans that came with it were out of this world amazing. I was shocked at how good the side of beans were that I couldn't stop eating them to take a picture! The Brussels sprouts though, were very disappointing. I couldn't finish them. They were overcooked and mushy the leaves were crispy which was nice but there wasn't even the most mild bite to the inside at all it was all leaves and mush. Not very appetizing to me. The service and ambiance were here was really nice and I'm sure I'll discover over things I like. I just wish I was dining in rather than takeout so that I could have exchanged the Brussels for something else. I ordered 3 and threw 2 1/2 in the trash.

    A perfect "final stop" before heading to the airport. We met up with extended family here before catching our flight back to St. Louis, and it was the ideal spot--close to the freeways and airport, but with enough local charm to feel like a real meal rather than a travel pit stop. The Logistics: * Timing is Everything: We arrived right at 11:00 AM and the dedicated parking lot was wide open. By the time we left at 12:45 PM, the place was packed and people were hunting for spots on the side streets. Get here early. * The Vibe & History: The building has a classic Southwest structure that felt familiar. My suspicion was right--this space used to be a Mexican restaurant, which explains the layout. It's got a great casual feel, though be warned: as the crowd swells, the volume rises. It got a bit loud for conversation by the end of our meal. * Pro-Tip (Happy Hour): I didn't realize it until I looked at the menu later, but their Happy Hour runs daily from 11 AM - 6 PM. If you are looking for a deal on drinks, this is a huge window. The Menu: The menu gives off "California" vibes--fresh, healthy, and creative--but with some unique twists. Since we visited during the holidays, I asked about their Fall Menu, and they had some great seasonal options rotating in. It's nice to see a place that actually changes things up based on the time of year. The Food: * Peanut Coconut Curry Quinoa Bowl (4.25/5): This was my wife's choice, and I had instant food envy. Served warm with a mild, nicely executed curry sauce and small morsels of chicken. The veggie blend was fresh and the portion was satisfying. * Harvest Sandwich (4/5): A vegetarian option that doesn't feel like a sacrifice. It's loaded with roasted peppers, avocado, hummus, and sprouts, but the real MVP is the grilled focaccia bread. It held everything together perfectly. * Side Note: I opted for the fries. They are the crispy, "batter-dipped" style. I didn't mean to eat them all, but they are impossible to resist. * Drinks: I stuck to an Arnold Palmer (4/5)--classic, refreshing, and hit the spot. The Service: Friendly and efficient. Our host appeared to be training a new hire, but it didn't slow anything down or impact the experience. Verdict: A solid 4-star spot for a healthy, flavorful lunch. Just try to beat the noon rush if you want to hear your tablemates clearly.

    Perfect Pear is a great option in Tempe. They have a huge menu-something for everyone. When I've gone in the part I've had their sandwiches or pasta which have always been solid. This time I tried one of their quinoa bowls and it did not disappoint. Service is always friendly and pretty quick and the restaurant has a cute inside space and nice sized patio. Parking is somewhat limited so be prepared that you might have to park on the street and walk a block.

    We got off of the plane from Fresno and I asked my son to find a good lunch place. He succeeded! Ambiance was great, service was on point and the food was awesome! It came out quickly and tasted as good as it looked.

    Love this spot! I always come for their La Lucy salad, though this time it wasn't as great. The salad was plated a bit sloppy, the grilled salmon portion was smaller than usual and tasted a little fishier than normal, and the fruit had a slightly fizzy taste. I only had a few bites but didn't make a big deal about it since this is a rare occasion where the dish missed the mark. Parking is so-so, though there is street parking available. It gets packed during the lunch hour, but you can make a reservation, which helps. The servers are great, as always. Just a heads-up, when the place is full, it gets very loud. If you're sensitive to noise, I'd recommend sitting outside or coming during an off hour at this particular location.

    We have been visiting the area for six plus years and PPB is a family favorite. The menu is varied and offers something for everyone. The restaurant has a unique appeal. Indoor seating is plentiful but we prefer the outdoor patio. It is pleasant. It's a hacienda hangout. The dishes are consistently tasty. The ingredients are fresh. The drink menu is extensive. On our most recent visit I opted for a mushroom soup and a quinoa bowl which I paired with a pear cider. Service has always been great. The staff is friendly and welcoming.

    Curry bowl with Falafel
    Cheryl L.

    Cute healthy place located near ASU. Lots of healthy options including falafel as an option and fake chicken too! Service was good, lots of seating with a patio for outdoor seating as well. We went just before lunch so the seating was fast but noticed that there were alot of larger parties so it must've slowed the kitchen down because the wait for food was long. They have 1/2 and 1/2 options so you can try combos on their menu too. I did had salad and pasta. Would return again when in the area!

    Had an interview in Phoenix and the staff took me here for a nice lunch. Not only was the atmosphere amazing but the food is delicious. I love the variety of lemonades they had and our server was so nice and checked on us often. I will have to come back next time I'm in Phoenix. I saw a few items on the menu I want to try lol.

    French pantry sandwich
    Melissa K.

    All in all had a good experience. Plenty of outdoor seating and a cozy bistro vibe inside. I tried the broccoli cheddar soup and unfortunately needed to send it back but the waitress was super nice about it and took it off the bill. It just tasted off to me, like it wasn't fresh and was burned when reheated. But I had the French pantry sandwich which was delicious. The balsamic on it was slightly overwhelming the other flavors but it was a tasty sandwich with great bread. My boyfriend had the southwest Philly sandwich which was really good too. Sweet potato fries were also a hit with great seasoning and a wide crinkle cut style. Although our experience wasn't perfect, we still enjoyed our meals and appreciated the great service.

    Pasta
    Andrew L.

    Came an hour before closing and got a nice cider, salad, and pasta with a side of salmon. Service was great and the food was excellent. I'm a slow eater and unfortunately had to chug the cider and take some of the food to go because they were cleaning up and seemed ready to close exactly at 9pm, but everything was still pretty good when I ate it a couple days later.

    Patio is dog friendly?

    Yes! We had two dogs with us.

    Do I need a Rez for 2 tonight outdoors at 5 pm?

    Depends on the day. Make them to be safe and if you don't need them you need not worry. Their parking lot is very small. Free parking across the street.

We were setup in a separate dining area from the main dining room, which allowed for better conversation without added noise. Our waitress was very friendly and attentive the entire time we were there, which was a couple hours. The milk bread is an absolute must! It's so pillowy soft and the flaky sea salt perfectly compliments it. I ordered the Wise Decision cocktail, which was refreshing. For my entree, I had the shishito Caesar salad and was advised I could add a protein from their skewer selection of chicken, pork belly or oyster mushrooms. I asked the waitress about the chicken and she advised that they are smoked and will appear pink from that, so not to be alarmed, but are moist and really flavorful. While the filet was tempting (and what everyone else at my table ordered), I wanted something lighter. Thankfully I was not disappointed in my selection. The chicken was as delicious as described and could be cut with a fork. The Caesar salad was well dressed, but not soggy. Do I think it was worth the money to add the chicken? Not if I were paying, but since my company paid for it, I think it was worth it. This is a great spot for a date night or special occasion.

There is plenty of bar space if you're popping in for a drink.. of course, the actual bar that runs along the shelves of liquor, and there is also a bar on the other side of a roll-up door, perfect for people who come with dogs. There's also a bar space that runs along the window that separates the small dining room and the patio. There are a few tables inside as well as some bigger tables on the patio. The patio is nice with lots of shrubs right outside the rail. The murals on the wall are pretty darn cool - - they're like enlarged historic photos of the area. I love them! And I'm not sure who's giant face is hanging on the ceiling but it's short a spark conversation. The menu here has a little something for everyone. There's the regular loaded fries and wings, salads, and a nice election burgers. We ordered the Philly Salad and the Very Summer Salad with a side order of fries. They make their own ranch, and it is good. I will say they don't seem to skim on salad ingredients either - - the Philly salad was covered with shaved beef, and my berry salad had a lot of chicken and tons of blue cheese. The fries were delicious - - slightly seasoned and crispy. This place is clearly dog friendly. In fact the day we went there was a sweet Pitbull named Daisy who literally hopped up on a bar stool and sat there like a little angel the entire time. The bar had a dog full of water that they sat down on the counter next to her owner's beer. They also have dog biscuits to give. It made my day to see that sweet little dog hanging at the bar having a treat. This really is kind of a spot that feels like it's probably the hangout spot of many people. Great bar food and a good selection of beers. What's not to love?

It made the experience feel way more fun and customizable, and you could actually taste how fresh the juices were. Every mimosa we tried was refreshing and super easy to drink. The food was also really good and paired perfectly with the drinks. Everything tasted fresh and well-made, and it all came out quickly even though the place was busy.

My husband and I found this place online, and it looked like a great spot for brunch. When we arrived, there was no one at the hostess stand, and it took quite a while for anyone to acknowledge us. When the hostess finally came over, we asked for a table for two. She immediately told us there was only outdoor seating available and didn't even mention that waiting for an indoor table was an option. Keep in mind, it was 110°F on a Sunday in Arizona. My husband had really been looking forward to trying this place, so we asked what was available and decided to stay. We were seated outside near the entrance. Shortly afterward, we watched the hostess tell other guests who arrived after us that indoor seating was available with only a 5-minute wait. Why wasn't that option offered to us? We absolutely would have waited. Unfortunately, the hostess's attitude and the way the situation was handled completely changed the experience for us. It left us feeling unwelcome, and we weren't able to enjoy our meal the way we had hoped. The food may have been fine, but customer service is a huge part of dining out, and this experience overshadowed everything else. Safe to say, we won't be returning. An unfriendly and dismissive environment is not something I'm interested in supporting.
