Loved the atmosphere, went two days in a row. They’re very sweet, had a gift card so wanted to try it out. Went in didn’t realize they were closing really soon but still sat us, customer service was great and food was amazing! Has to go back the next day and try something else out

The atmosphere was good, but the theme was confusing. The service was very good. I thought the food at lunch was just OK. I had the Mediterranean Meatballs. The ingredients were fresh, but the flavor of the meatballs was a let down. The entree was $25. Not cheap. But was a large serving.

Really lovely, unique food. We tried Mediterranean meatballs (too many flavors in one bite for us), Kahlua pork sandwich (so good but extra BBQ is recommended. Meat a little too salty), and the cheeseburger was really good. Their fries are incredible and they have great ranch. Their desserts are so yummy and very sizeable. Service was wonderful, kind and attentive. The server was asking my child questions instead of ignoring him and asking me, which I loved because he got to answer for himself straight away. It’s pretty spendy here, but you can taste that the quality is pretty great. Currently a huge construction project happening right out front, but it’s worth parking a little ways away to try. They close at 6:30 most evenings because they are more of a lunch spot, but it hit the spot for dinner too.

The location, vibe and food was amazing experience. While traveling through Oregon, decided to make a stop at this bistro based on Google reviews rating. And the place did not disappoint. Enjoyed the food and cheesecake outside. Very tasty food. Cheese cake dessert was super yummy. Worth making a stop at this bistro.

Your experience might vary but ours was horrendous. Please read this through before going to this place.
For food, we got the steak salad, Spicy Chicken Club sandwich and a bowl of roasted pepper tomato orzo soup.
The steak salad was poor. For one, they did not give us enough dressing so we had to ask for more. The steak was incredibly tough and bland, very unpleasant. Adding insult to injury, the chic peas just tasted like cold mush and it was disgusting. And the bread served was cold and dry.
That tomato orzo dish was by far the worst part of the meal. The entire dish just tasted like tomato paste plus a SPRINKLE of orzo. There was not a hint of pepper. Worse, it can’t even be called a soup because the texture was slightly chunk. When we gave feedback to the waiter, she said and I quote “it’s pretty much a paste”. A PASTE?! That’s not soup…it was like marinara sauce from a can. Bread served was cold and dry like the ones from the salad.
If the food wasn’t bad enough, we literally waited for 30 minutes after ordering. I really hoped food was going to be worth the wait but was severely disappointed.
Waiters were friendly but inattentive. After serving they just stood in a corner and chatted with each other instead of checking if tables needed attention.
More to complain, the prices are really high at this place. COMPLETELY NOT WORTH THE PRICE.
The only thing acceptable at this restaurant was the spicy chicken club sandwich which was actually tasty, though the chips that came with it tasted pretty much just like oil. I was going to give a 2 star because of the sandwich but everything else sucked.
This restaurant fails in the three fundamentals of a restaurant: food quality, service and value.
Based on the reviews, other dishes may have been good. And service may have been decent on other days. But our experience was really bad. Just don’t get that steak salad and orzo soup to save yourself some money and grief.

It’s a nice place with good atmosphere. The food was good, but not over-the-top good. I didn’t love the French dip or the lobster/shrimp sandwich due to lack of beef/lobster flavors, but their special curry soup is pretty nice.
They have a fun happy hour menu, and I’m a big fan of that.

Arrived with a party of 6 for a family birthday and table area, which lacked ventilation or fans. Our server was AWOL, while we suffered from dehydration and were not offered water for 15-20 minutes. We had to flag down the server outside to hunt down our server inside for drinks. Ultimately, the food was good. However, it is not exceptional. Server, Birthday, Dehydration, Food, Drinks.

Came here two days in a row it was so good!! The wild pear pizza and truffled sweet potato fries are both especially delicious. The service and atmosphere were also great!
They have great gluten free and vegan options, as well as the choice to sub out most buns/crust for gluten free. Truly a spot for everyone!

Recently i had the pleasure of working with Cecelia, Santa Rosa and the Wild Pear Catering team. The team at the venue were prompt, thorough and so friendly. Many of my guests commented on how nice and efficient they all were. The menu of heavy appetizers was absolutely perfect. The goal of high quality, different textures and different flavors was met and exceeded. I received the most comments on the crab cakes and the bruschetta with pear and cheese. The new item (BLTA SLIDERS) was so popular that only one was left when the party ended. Simply put, it was a marvelous party and would not have been the success it was without the contributions from wild pear. I love to cook and am capable of cooking and catering my own parties but it was so nice to have EVERYTHING taken care of and taken care of so well. It was like that old TV ad, “set it and forget it.” Pick the right venue, pick the right caterer and pick the right menu then relax and enjoy.

Food was worth trying again. A bit loud to hold a conversation. The service was good.
