POINT PLEASANT BEACH – The Poached Pear Bistro in Point Pleasant Beach has been named to New Jersey Monthly's annual list of 30 best restaurants in New Jersey.

The Poached Pear Bistro is located 816 Arnold Avenue.

"Chef Scott Giordano’s New American food pulls you in with its sumptuousness and keeps you engaged with its nuances. But he asked himself, when he reopened after a couple weeks of COVID-19 shutdown in March, 'Will our level of food work for takeout?' He needn’t have worried," according to NJ Monthly.

The review goes on to say that the restaurant has a good amount of customers coming to pick up dinner during the shutdown, he said.

When he resumed indoor dining, "signatures like the braised pork chop with red cabbage marmalade and crispy spaetzle were as compelling as ever, and nightly specials broadened the appeal," the magazine said.
