Blue Pear BistroNEW!

blue-pear

The Blue Pear Bistro is the new restaurant from the Dilworthtown Inn.

Housed in the former Dilworthtown General Store, the 18th century threshold unveils a 21st century “hip-storic” bistro. Radiating with iridescent hues of gold and amber, the stylish interior kindles the bistro’s laid-back aura. A wall of crushed gold glass shimmers behind the mahogany bar. Upstairs, the chocolate leather settees summon lounging and relaxation. Outdoor dining on the front porch calms the pace of village passersby.

“Blue Pear Bistro is a contemporary New American with a happening bar.”–ZAGAT

Open six days a week, Monday through Saturday from 4:00 pm to midnight. Bar service begins at 4:00 pm and dinner service at 5:00 pm. Reservations suggested. The bistro’s interior is completely smoke-free and offers an outdoor smoking patio.

“This is a casual, grown-up bistro that provides exactly what the area needs: a good, thoughtful, modern meal in a quietly sophisticated atmosphere.”–LifeStyle Magazine

WC Dish Recommends:

Escargot and Tuna Tartar… they are quite possibly the best two dishes I’ve had all year. Perfect.

    We had a wonderful experience. The food was excellent and perfectly prepared to our wishes ~ the wait staff attentive and pleasant. I agree with John regarding the second floor. As we walked through the bar area, we could tell it was going to be very loud ~ that is not our preference. Limited close parking, which was fine for us, but others might want to be aware. There was a big lot with the adjoining restaurant that is next door ~ but a walk none the less. Cheers! PS: We will be back.

    I’m more of a simple food eater who likes great ambiance, and this was a great place for it. The chicken nuggets in the flower pot, grilled cheese, and burger & fries were all excellent.

    If you’re taking a date you might want to request something on the second floor, the first floor area is small and you’re right next to a bar that can get loud with people coming over from the Inn.

    This place is GREAT!! There gourmet burgers and fries are one of the best I ever had.

Review Guidelines
Be Respectful. Do you kiss your mother with that mouth?

Although the old saying, "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all," is swell, we encourage constructive feedback (ie, be polite), and recommend backing-up your comments with evidence/witnesses.

Be Honest. Look where it got Abe Lincoln. Well, before the evening at the theater.

We don't recommend complaining just for the sake of it (see number 1), but if you have a legitimate comment, it should be shared. Also, don't hesitate to disagree with other comments, even if your opinion is in the minority. If patrons aren't honest about their experiences, restaurants won't know that there is room for improvement. And there always is.

Be Specific. "The food was good" doesn't cut it.

Each dining experience is unique, so if a dining experience moves you in any way, by all means, share the details. Choose the sensory details that impacted your experience the most and describe them in your postings. Other foodies will gobble it up—literally.

Be Concise. 'Nuf said.

What? We thought it was pretty clear the first time.

Be Helpful. Sort of like how the elves and reindeer help Santa.

Will what you have to say improve the restaurant's ability to provide impeccable service and improve the dining experience for others (again, see number 1)? If so... help away.

Show a Little Pride. No Jane or John Does please.

If you are too embarrassed to put your name as the commenter, you probably should re-evaluate your comments (you know the drill... see number 1). If you have sensitive information that you feel needs to be passed along, please use your best judgment and e-mail it to us to avoid public posting. We don't want you to have any post-post regrets.

Don't Name Names. Let's not get too personal here.

We know you want to share your experiences, both good and bad, but this isn't the place to publicly condemn or praise individual people. Feel free to comment on "the service", "the chef", or "the staff", but any positive or negative mention of specific names will be moderated.
