If you're a foodie, I'd highly recommend! They're a small business, and update their menu regularly based off what's in season which I love. Really unique bites to eat, with a thoughtful combination of flavors and ingredients. It's a small spot with intentional design choices and a communal table. Outside of the incredible food, the service really stood out! They have a really kind, and knowledgeable team. We were also lucky enough to meet the chef who with his wife started the restaurant just about a year ago. They're just as warm as the rest of their team! Really looking forward to going back next time we're in Charlotte. read more

Finally made it to the Speckled Pear in Fort Mill. It was everything everyone stated, intimate space with beautiful and delicious chef created meals. We started with the caviar service (special occasion, I just retired!) and the bread service. The caviar was presented by the chef and we chatted about our favs and exactly where this round originated from. 10/10. For entrees my hubby had the roasted chicken and I opted for the shrimp. Both were excellent and very creative. Grapes on the chicken, it worked. To full for dessert but we definitely found a nice and nearby date night spot. read more

Where do I even begin?!?! I have had the Speckled Pear on my list for a year now (I live in Virginia) and I FINALLY got a chance to give it a try. First impression: 1000% worth traveling over state lines for. I got the privilege of attending Saturday brunch and Saturday dinner. Both experiences had their differences and similarities and have me counting down the days until I go back. Brunch: If you are looking for a spot to catch-up with a friend and enjoy a mimosa and the most divine French toast...this is the place to go! Because The Pear has been on my visit list for so long, I got a little bit of everything. My top food item was the avocado toast; the crust was toasted just right and it all melted in my mouth. My second favorite was the French toast - the fresh caramel on top was the perfect touch. There were no wrong choices for brunch on this day. Dinner: The cozy environment of the morning switched over so flawlessly. There is definitely a lot more people in the building at night, but it was still such a relaxing dining experience. To start we got a bread board and glasses of wine. I wasn't sure what I wanted but had an idea that I shared with the sommelier and he helped pick the perfect glass of wine to start my evening. Having a staff that was knowledgeable on the items was so helpful in making our decisions for dinner. For my main dish I got the short rib, and it was gone before I knew it. Every bite melted in my mouth, and I have been thinking about it ever since. Now...dessert. WOW! We got the salted caramel budino and blackberry cobbler with lavender ice cream. Both were the perfect combinations of savory and sweet to finish off the beautiful meal we had. Now for my favorite part of my visit(s): The owners came out while we were eating and when we finished to check on how our service was and introduce themselves/say hello again. I LOVE that they do this. It added such a personal touch to this Family-Owned dining experience both in the morning at brunch and in the evening at dinner. The Speckled Pear was so lovely, and I appreciate all the dedication these owners have poured into their craft. I look forward to returning in the future. I've added pictures of both the brunch and dinner we had! read more

The Speckled Pear - Specialty Food Near Me - Fort Mill, South Carolina

One of my favorite spots in Fort Mill! They have incredible food whether it's for lunch (pictured here) or for delicious dinners. I've been a number of times and had everything from their steak salad (to die for!), to chilly rainy days perfect for their soups and a sandwich to warm you up. Atmosphere is low key but still provides a more modern and elegant vibe. The staff is so lovely and friendly, with owner and chef often walking around to check in or even refill a water. They're knowledgeable about the wines they sell, and great pairing ideas. They do cool curated dinner and tasting events that I've been looking forward to participating in as well, so will be watching their website to join one of those soon. read more

The Speckled Pear - Sea scallops - Specialty Food Near Me - Fort Mill, South Carolina

It's always exciting to welcome a local small business to Fort Mill. I love the eclectic atmosphere and the natural light. The opportunity for small businesses to offer their wares too. The flavors are amazing; however, the price to portion took it down a star. I think for the price of the sandwiches a side should be included. A few of my other favorite locally owned lunch spots nearby do include a good sized main with a side and I'll probably err to visiting those locations for price/portion for lunch. The Ahi Caesar is a tiny portion for $19 without tax- just an FYI don't order if you are hungry ;) Still very fresh and flavorful though. Service is top notch. read more

I went back to Speckled Pear with apprehension due to the lunch being great many times but the dinner lacking. Tonight the dinner was fantastic! I have been converted. This time, the short rib was so tender. The scallops were perfectly cooked and the Mediterranean inspired accompaniments made the dish memorable. I look forward to coming back and trying their next menus. read more

There's a lot packed into this small place. Restaurant, wine bar, market - it's all here in this intimate one-stop-shop on the edge of downtown Fort Mill. While recent Yelp reviews have been for dinner and Sunday brunch services I was here during lunch. I ordered the chicken salad sandwich and a cup of the daily soup which happened to be Cream of Mushroom. Both were delicious . The portions were very large - just look at that "cup" of soup in my photo. The sandwich was loaded with chunks of chicken - perfect - although I would've preferred a tangier base such as Miracle Whip to the predominant mayonnaise used here. (That "thunk" you just heard were phones being dropped by Carolinians disgusted by my preference of Miracle Whip to mayonnaise. Sorry, I'll just sit here sipping my unsweetened iced tea while I wait for the "Oh No" comments. Hey, at least I no longer call my cola a pop.) I enjoyed my visit to The Speckled Pear very much. I just showed my wife the photos and she tells me we're coming back very soon together. read more

The owners, the servers and the chefs are all amazing people and the food is outrageously good! I love their passion for supporting the local community and bringing quality ingredients to the table. I eat lunch there during workdays and it's peaceful and delish. It's also where we take all our friends for dinner, especially out of town guests. No one in York county knows more about "great not just good" wine. Say hi to Mike and Robyn if you pop in because you'll want to meet them! read more

Welcome to the neighborhood: The Speckled Pear Market I've been watching the social media posts about this new business locating in downtown Fort Mill in the space that was formerly GoodLife Organic Market. Owned and operated by locals, Mike & Robyn Bader, they hosted their soft opening today. I was welcomed and greeted by Robyn and her staff who give me a mini-tour and overview of of all their offerings. This is a Gourmet Food Market, they have prepared foods, wine by the bottle and a very nice selection of cheeses. They have a 'grab and go section' as well as a nice selection of low card, low sugar cold beverages. They have a 'starter' selection of wines as described by their Staff Alejandro. He is learning his market and audience and seems open to a selection of wines that fit a range of budgets. They also have a selection of chilled craft beers. I saw they also have some pasta options for those that are looking to cook. They also do custom charcuterie boards and catering as well. I selected a bottle of Mariella and Grace Extra Virgin Olive Oil from Puglia, Italy. I saw many options that would make great Christmas gifts, tis the season! I'm most excited about their future plans to have tapas and small plates. Robyn said they are about 2 weeks out from beginning that service where they will serve wine by the glass. You can sit at the large live edge wooden community table, at the bar or one of several 2 or 4 top tables. It's really nice to have various food options when you live in a small town like Fort Mill. This will fill a void that has been missing from the current foodscape. Though they are in 'soft opening' mode, I would highly recommend you do your part to stimulate the local economy and support this local owned and operated business. There is limited on site free parking but there is a FREE Municipal lot just two blocks away adjacent to the Bank of America. I was pleased to learn they offer a Vet & First Responder discount. read more

Gage gave great food and wine recommnedations ! Some of the food is different and unique, but very good! We sat at the bar.

Wow! This place was delicious! Small portions so you can get a lot of small plates but make sure you watch how much you're spending. What we had for two people and we split each dish: 2 glasses of wine each, salmon Rillettes, beef carpaccio, wild mushroom gnocchi, sea scallops, creme catalana. Salmon Rillettes: there was toasted sour dough with a jar of salmon mousse with a cream cheese on top with caviar. DELICIOUS Beef carpaccio: this had some shavings of cheese with some garlicky croutons. Everything went perfectly together. YUM Gnocchi: really light! Little cloud puffs. Loved it. Scallops: not worth it. You got three scallops for $30 Creme catalana: this is a creme brûlée. I would have liked this a little thicker for custard. But it was tasty. Overall the servers were very nice but no one introduced themselves by name. I would recommend they start doing that. Keeps it more personal. The place is small and when it's packed, it's loud. We were fortunate enough to have the table in the back, which is private. Overall, our bill was about $170. read more

Food is amazing! Short ribs are a fav. The fingerling potato side is a must. They did a short rib soup that was to die for too? The ahi tuna salad is wonderful.

Thanks Robyn and Michael and your crew!!! read more

I know it's hard to plan a visit to a neighboring city, but man oh man, jump in the car and go have some small bites and a bottle of wine from The Speckled Pear. This little market has all your favorites. How do I know because it covers all the bases. Coffee, check, wine, check, beer, check. There's a little section of grab and go foods, a tapas daily menu and whole wall of wine. Count me in. They even had fresh pasta from Mano Bella in the freezer. Be sure to sign up on their email list and follow on socials because they will also have pop up fancy, schmancy wine dinners. read more

Went for dinner tonight, our third time here! Absolutely delicious food and awesome service! Will be back and love the scallops!!!

Hesitant to leave a review as I don't want to let too many people know about this gem. I was bummed to see the juice place close in this location because I loved it, but little did I know that it would be replaced by something even better. I have only gone twice for lunch so I cannot comment on the dinners although the menu looked fantastic. I have had a salad one time and a sandwich the other. Both were excellent and you could tell they were made from the highest quality ingredients. However, it was something I would have never ordered that was the best. When we walked in the owner greeted us at the door. I asked her what her favorite thing on the menu was that day and she said the sourdough soup. Well I had to try it and she wasn't joking. Both my wife and I loved it. We were practically licking the bowl. Note that their soups change and it's not available every day but if it is when you go there you have to give it a try. It will not disappoint. The Speckled Pear is a great addition to downtown Fort Mill and it's now my go to lunch spot. read more

Incredible spot!! Food was so fresh and looked homemade, came for lunch. Chicken salad was incredible and bread was so fresh

Incredibly fresh, beautiful, and delicious food!! Friendly staff. Clean restrooms. Highly recommend.

I love this place. My wife and I've been there about four times now and the salads are good. The sandwiches are amazing the variety rocks. They do a good business, but that just adds to the ambience. The service is always great and we end up, taking home a bunch of stuff from their freezers And produce offerings.5 stars HOORAY read more

I truly love this place. From the ambiance and wine to the amazing food it serves. I like the overall feeling of dining here and the food ain't bad . The owners are super nice and friendly. I have only one thing I would say could be better, I hope they start baking their own breads and such soon. I think this wouldn't them apart. I had amazing lunch the other day but took home 2 chocolate croissants that tasted a bit old, almost stale. Otherwise I've only ever had outstanding food there and would highly recommend a visit or two. There's a very large table in there so take your whole family or get a small table for 2 but whatever you do, don't pass this place up! read more

My husband and I had brunch at The Speckled Pear and the food was exceptional. He had the loaded potatoes and I had the deep dish gruyere quiche along with mimosas. The flavors of each dish were well balanced and better than most brunch restaurants we've experienced. The service was great and the atmosphere was tasteful and innovative. We also purchased a loaf of organic sourdough bread to enjoy later. I highly recommend trying it for yourself. read more

I love the tasteful, understated atmosphere. Due to the space design, the ambient music is a little loud so as the meal progressed the noise level became less than ideal. The chef/menu are top notch. I don't recommend sitting at the counter. It is uncomfortable, the service is iffy due to the server also being the 'bartender', and you are regularly being bumped by other guests during the meal due to tight quarters. All the meals are good. The Rillette was fantastic. The salad was fresh but the ends were browning (details). The Gnocci was off the chain. I was disappointed in the short ribs being too overly crusted on the outside and generally dry more like a pot roast (reheated) but the dish itself was a success with the corn salsa adding moisture. I think the ribs may be a one-off as I believe in this chef. Wine menu was fair, but the pours were inconsistent (we all know that means not in my favor :-)). I will try again at a table hoping that the Speckled Pear achieves its potential. I recommend people try it for themselves. A couple of small tweaks and I am hoping to change this to 5 stars soon. read more

Total 5 star experience Food , service and ambiance. Best lunch destination in Fort Mill , I plan to try them again at anytime they are open! If you have a special occasion, they will make reservation ... So glad I found them! read more

Excellent service and the food was delicious. We went for a special occasion dinner and had a wonderful night.

I was looking for a local bite on the way back from Charlotte and Rock Hill. This place is a Gem! It's 3 years new, clean. Josh was quiet yet super friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. I missed breakfast, but the Soups caught my eye. Had a cup of the Wedding Soup and one of the Seafood Chowder. The presentation matched the taste. You could see and taste the different, savory ingredients , and the locally made Sour Dough Bread to dip alongside the Cup was the hearty accompaniment. I had to try a small slice of the Halva Cake that was topped with Tart Cherries with a Mug of Coffee to finish it off just right. The music was kinda singer/songwriter or folkish and it matched the chill but modern atmosphere (not pretentious or alienating in any way like some cafes can force upon you). I'll make a special trip here with my wife the next time we're anywhere nearby! Be encouraged Speckled Pear Owners and Staff and thank you! read more
