| - The Peartree is a cute & quaint restaurant tucked away in the "town of cabbages" neighborhood, on Parliament. You would walk right by it, if you didn't know it was there, it is that obscure. The store front is quite plain and doesn't really catch one's eye.
I've only been to the Peartree for brunch, mostly on weekends. I've never had to wait for a table, which is nice. And you would never know that they had more seating in the back, if you were not offered to be sat there, or asked to be seated there, which is quite lovely on a sunny day. You can enjoy the sunshine within the enclosed atrium during your dining experience, or actually go outside the atrium, to their rear patio, where I have begun many a weekend brunch with a bloody caesar, num-num. It's a lovely setting, the rear patio, feeling the sunshine, warm on your skin, and enjoying your brunch.
One of the Peartree's treasures, I think, is on weekends, they make the most delicious and scrumptious blueberry cake! I'm fearful when I go for brunch that I may have arrived to late, and all the cake is gone (oh how dreadful!) Each customer is served a square while mulling over the menu. Yum-o! I'll confess, I've only ever had their Eggs Benny, because it is SO good, and when I find something I like somewhere, it takes a crowbar to move me. However, my dining companions have had their waffles, salads and a few pasta dishes with no complaints.
Service is always reasonable. When you're having a leisurely brunch, you don't want service to be too prompt, now do you? Well I sure don't. Makes me feel rushed. Prices are manageable. I can always rely on the Peartree for a enjoyable brunch, with no speed-bumps or hiccups, in short, reliable. I guess that's what keeps me going back.
