Blue Pear Bistro

Before I went on vacation, I had dinner at the new Blue Pear Bistro near West Chester, Pa. It's the new eatery next door to the Dilworthtown Inn. (Same owners.)
Really enjoyable dining experience. The restaurant, once one of the America's oldest country stores, is much more casual than the Dilworthtown Inn.
The menu is divided into "small" plates and "medium" plates. The 75-seat eatery has a liquor license - and a large bar - but you can also tote in your own wine. (Corkage fee, however, is $10.)
The menu may have already changed since my visit, but we enjoyed Chef David Fogelman's chicken nuggets with white truffle and mustard, mushroom crepes, pan-roasted salmon, barbecue beef short ribs and house made fries. Prices range from $6 to $21.
Definitely worth a visit. Make a reservation. Call 610-399-9812 It was dinner only in October but Jim Barnes, who owns the eatery with Bob Raffeto, said they were planning on starting a lunch service soon.
