We have seen this place on our travels and always say we should go in. Tonight, we decided to. We got there at 6:50pm. First off, what kind of dining establishment closes at 8pm? We walk inside and nobody is there to greet us. Fortunately, they have a gong. I don't think it is there to summon the wait staff but did that stop us? No, definitely not. The host/restaurant manager showed up promptly. Asked us if we needed a weak constitution (vegetarian/vegan/gluten-free) menu. We did not. We were escorted back to our both. It was dark and minimalist. I expected it to be more "exotic" being a Global Restaurant. The walls were mostly bare with a couple French looking paintings. We were given our menus and told that our waitress would be right with us. Water was promptly served and then began the wait. We had to wait a good 15 minutes in an almost empty restaurant before someone came close enough to flag down. Ordered a stuffed mushroom appetizer, a bottle of Savengion Blanc and a couple entrees. While we waited, I overheard someone at a neighorimg table say they had never seen Back to the Future.(I don't believe you.) Eggplant Parm and Mushrooms were great. The French Steak was not to my wife's liking. The wine was great, thank New Zealand. Overall, I'm glad we went but after spending $120, I don't think I would go again.

This place is absolutely delicious! The focus of their menu is plant-based first, and then there are some non plant-based options that you can add, like a real beef patty, salmon, and a couple of other things. For a place that you just order up at the counter, the menu is quite extensive, including an entirely separate gluten-free menu, which is extensive as well. Everything is made fresh, and the portion sizes are big. I highly recommend the tempeh bacon on anything and the red curry fries. They also have a wider array of non-alcoholic beverages as well as beer, wine, and coffee. And there is a large outdoor covered patio that also has lights for at night time. All in all, it's a great place for the plant-based and non plant-based alike!

We called in our dinner order for pick-up. I had the bison burger which was really good. Wife had grilled cheese on gluten free bread that she enjoyed very much. We both got sweet potato fries that tasted like the oil was end of life. But the ranch made up for it.

We were visiting from out of state and found this restaurant using the Find Me GF app. After circling downtown to try to find parking for what seemed like forever, we finally made it into The Wild Pear. I'm glad we did! The food was high quality, very tasty, and there were great gluten-free options, including dessert! We were pleased with our meal, and our waitress was top notch, too! We left with happy, full bellies.
