| - Met some family at the Perfect Pear and have had this Tempe location bookmarked for some time. I was hoping for a good lunch spot and was not disappointed. Interior had comfortable vibe, the staff was on point, and the food was good. For lunch, I couldn't decide between the pear salad and the bacon/jalapeƱo grilled cheese. So what does one do in this situation? You get both. :) In all honesty though, I did split them with my brother. For the dishes, the grilled cheese was so good. Super flavorful and deserving of five stars. The pear salad on the other hand, had the chance at perfection but just lacked pear. For a salad and a restaurant for that matter to have the name pear in the title, I just expected bold pear flavor and as good as the pear was, there just was not enough in it. For dessert, the family ordered bread pudding and pear cobbler. Sadly, we were later advised that they were out of bread pudding. Bummer, given we were all excited to see it on the menu. With that, we added brownie instead. The brownie was just okay for me. Nothing to write home about. The cobbler on the other hand was killer. It had such awesome flavor, with what tasted like oatmeal in the crust and it was so darn good. Would highly recommend. Overall, a very good lunch that I was glad my family got to enjoy. Just missed the pear:(
