Perfect Pear Bistro — Restaurant in Chandler

We went here for the first time on a Saturday around 2pm. The place wasn't very busy and we were able to be seated once the workers were done hanging out with each other. For drinks we ordered the Arnold Palmer and the mocktail Melanie. The mocktail was great, definitely had the cherry flavor come through but the Arnold Palmer was made with green tea and then you match it with your choice of different flavored lemonade. We tried the blackberry one and needless to say it was a different experience. If you enjoy new twists on old drinks you might like it. We then tried the Tukee Pear Quesadilla for an appetizer and oh my goodness it was good. It's big enough to be 1 person's meal and the sauce it comes with is heavenly. Too much bacon was stuffed in for my taste but if you love bacon and pears this is a must try. We then had their Pesto Chicken sandwich and Southwest Philly sandwich with sweet potato fries. The pesto sandwich had really chewy and stringy chicken and the pesto tasted off, so I could only tolerate a couple bites but the Southwest Philly had an amazing flavor. It honestly could be served in only a bowl without the bread because we felt the bread ruined the texture and taste. The sweet potato fries were also cooked to a nice crunch and seasoned well. The only thing we didn't like during our visit was the sandwiches and the long wait from staffing as they stood around talking amongst themselves. Looking around the restaurant, no one else ordered regular sandwiches and they mostly ordered salads, pastas, or grilled cheeses. We would definitely try this place again but avoid...

I absolutely love this place and the food. I work nearby and I’m always recommending this location to my clients. I rave about the food constantly, but unfortunately, my last few visits have been a little unpleasant. Thankfully, the food makes up for it, but today’s experience really bothered me.

I had called in a simple takeout order—a cheese dip that they said would take about 10 minutes. I ended up arriving about 40 minutes later due to work, but when I got there, I stood at the pickup counter for at least 8 minutes. During that time, at least four different employees walked back and forth from the counter to the kitchen to assist dine-in guests. I completely understand if the staff was busy, but I made eye contact with multiple employees and not one person acknowledged me, said they’d be with me soon, or asked what I was there for.

This isn’t the first time something like this has happened, and usually, I brush it off. But the repeated lack of acknowledgment feels very disrespectful. I truly hope this isn’t a matter of bias, because I’d hate to believe that, but today really left me questioning it. Even if you’re busy, simply acknowledging someone goes a long way. I don’t think I’ll be returning to...

The exterior of the building is very elegant even though it is in a busy business trip. The interior is very classy and clean. The decor is quite impressive. The patio was also very impressive and welcoming. Speaking of welcoming, the hostess was very friendly and you instantly felt like you had a friend. The menu had a wide variety of excellent choices. It was so difficult to pick just one thing. Our server was named Paige. They need to clone her! She was the consummate professional, knew the menu down to the raw ingredients, anticipated our every need, and packaged all of this in an impressively friendly way. We would return to this restaurant just to get burnt toast if she were our server. The food was peerless in every sense. My spicy cobb salad was absolutely delicious. I asked Paige to surprise me with the meat choice. She brought me the shrimp, which was the perfect compliment to the salad. My friends went on and on about their meals. I will definitely be back here with my wife and business colleagues in the future, though it is 30 minutes...
