The Peasant & The Pear 111 West Prospect Avenue, Danville, CA 94526

"We walked in and the hostess told us there were no tables available even though only one table in the entire restaurant was occupied and everything else was empty. We were given the option to sit at the bar or outside when it was raining hard. We sat at the bar but I felt like I had been cheated so I called the restaurant on my mobile phone from the bar and the hostess told me that the restaurant was open seating and that tables were available if I walked in and that they only accept reservations for parties of 5+. This made me feel very disappointed and I went up to her and asked her if she could sit us at a table to which she flatly told us no table is available even though I could see at least half the restaurant still had empty tables. By that time my partner had ordered the Tuscan white bean bacon and kale soup which was very watery and lacked flavor. We paid and left but won’t be returning to this place for sure The city of Danville will not be getting my business anytime soon if ever!"

"I loved the old location of this restaurant because it was so cozy, but I get it, the location became available, and it is much larger so more folks can enjoy the great food. We ordered the braised short ribs, lamb shank and salmon special. The lamb shank melts in your mouth, as does the short rib (their specialty). Atmosphere not as nice as the old place, and can be a bit noisy. Go for the delicious food, you won't be disappointed!"

"Love this place. We go her often. Mostly the food is amazing. Great atmosphere as well."

"Some of the dishes were somewhat bland. The risotto was a little dry. The white wine sauce masked the prawns' flavours. Salmon was tender and wonderful. The pork had a wonderful aftertaste. Service was friendly and thoughtful. Would recommend if you're in the neightbouring city. Wouldn't recommend travelling further than that."

"Great food, great atmosphere, a little pricey but you get what you pay for as always, which everything was delicious! Totally worth the cost. I have been places that charged more for not as good quality. We got the french dip and the Lamb Shank. I was blown away by the lamb shank, literally fall off the bone!! I swapped the Polenta for Mashed potatoes. The prawns appetizer was also delicious!"
