    We dine at the Poached Pear a few times a year. It is a favorite among our friends for fine dining. Service is always attentive and efficient without being overbearing. Entrees are plentiful and delicious. Prices are in line with other fine dining establishments $$$$ justified by consistentl quality food. BYOB

    This impressive restaurant aspires to be of a higher level than your run of the mill shore restaurant. It succeeds with a package that includes inspired food, an elegant ambience, and a knowledgeable and friendly wait staff.
