   While some of the food was quite tasty the noise level was off the charts. You could barely hear the server telling you about specials and if you were hoping to have a conversation with the party you are with good luck. It seemed at certain tables people were speaking at a level 10 because they could not hear above the noise so they spoke even louder themselves. We left feeling we would not go back. Their dishes were beautiful visually and some tasted quite good. A few were very average. The lobster bisque was good even without any visible lobster meat . The salads were salads. The entrees for the most part were good unfortunately the sorba noodle entree was just O.K. We had dessert and they could have been from anywhere, decent but not extraordinary. My favorite part of the visit was the food runners.They were very efficient .

   I have never had a bad or even OK meal at the Poached Pear. All of them have been excellent and I’ve been there many times. Our server was very attentive made very good recommendations. She knew her menu very well and was able to describe the dishes we asked about. I had the bread duck with a sweet potato cannelloni, which was out of this world. My friend had the veal and he was equally pleased. I would highly recommend the Poached Pear to all my friends and anyone else who is down at the shore and wants a very good meal. Hats off to the chef.

   Wonderful service! Tables a bit close and with the room design it got to be quite noisy and difficult to hear at our table. Our table really enjoyed their shrimp and pork chop.
