Placed an order online which was easy. Kinda sad the notes section available online wasn’t even noticed by the staff. I asked to not put any cheese on the pasta salad/salad mix and there was a bunch of Parmesan we had to scrape off. They held the mayo and lettuce off the kids burger that had a check box for that but also didn’t sub a pickle as requested in notes…maybe they didn’t have pickles. Overall the soup, turkey club, 2 salads and soup, skillet brie, plus kids cheeseburger were all very good. Chips with the club and the baguette were tasty and the fries with the kids burger were a bit cold and limp. Overall for an $80 order, I’d give it a 7 out of 10.

Have been to Wild Pear a few times during the pandemic but finally got around to trying it again. Lived up to what we remembered it being – great service, great food and great experience.

The jazz covers filled the atmosphere with a smooth lining of delicious treats. The desserts surely makes you want more and even think about coming here for breakfast, lunch and dinner just for a little more. The service the swell as they always had a smile and has a kicking speed. The scenery was glorious as the artwork makes you feel fuzzy inside. The bathrooms were very and the soap, oh the soap, it smells very nice. I would definitely recommend this place and I would come again. Even at 4am. There was gluten free, vegan, and vegetarian options.

Amazing lunch spot. Right in downtown Salem, there was a small wait that was expected for what ended up being a great place. Service was good, a bit short-staffed but most places seem to be these days. The inside was nice with available outdoor seating, the food was really really good with a great selection variety, we got the artichoke parmesan fritters, Cecilias salad bowl and a kailua pork sandwich and they have great non-alcoholic and alcoholic options.

The food is decent at Wild Pear. Was a bit disappointed with the shrimp/crab melt as it just lacked flavor. But they do offer some really great iced coffee. Service was mediocre. We did wait a while to be helped but overall it wasn’t a bad experience.

Do not walk but RUN to the Wild Pear – the food is out of the world with bursting flavors! We all enjoyed every sip of the coconut curry soup and I devoured the BLT + avocado (with slight spicy undertone AND basil!!)

I met two friends for a late lunch at the Wild Pear. What a nice restaurant, with great staff! My butternut-curry, cream of coconut soup was wonderful on a cold winter day! My friends also raved about the Pho soup! We had a great visit in a great place! Megan was the best server too!

AMAZING food! Everything we ordered was perfect and tasty – even as a non-vegan ordering the Cecilia’s bowl it was really good.

We have eaten at Wild Pear and ordered takeout several times and always had a good experience and great food. We ordered takeout this afternoon and it was very disappointing. The chicken in the enchilada casserole was so tough we ended up picking it out. The sweet potato fries were so soft they were practically mashed potatoes and you sent home the wrong desert. (I ordered the Guinness cake and received Black Forest). This was after you forgot to include the deserts when I first picked up the order and I had to go back to get them. I realize everyone has bad days but we just spent $70 plus on a dinner and did not enjoy it or feel like we received value for our money. Very disappointing!
