Since 1972, we've believed in quality ingredients, cooking from scratch and having fun. From our famous 'Shrooms and Stuffed Chicken Breast to our unique burger blend and ahi tuna, we believe in celebrating the small things and that every moment deserves a toast in its honor. So grab a drink (perhaps our signature Long Island Iced Tea), enjoy some great conversation and let us serve you an excellent meal.

    618 is one of our favorite local restaurants. We dine there at least once a month (our waitress, Alexis, told us that we have dined 25 times so far). Alexis, our server, was friendly and helpful. She greeted us with a smile and took our drink order. The meal began with a basket of delicious bread with butter and sea salt. I opted for my favorite cocktail, the Spicy Boi. It's made with Reposado Tequila, Ancho Chile, and passion fruit juice. It has the right mixture of sweet, refreshing, with a spicy kick. We opened our meal by sharing a lobster tostada appetizer from the specials menu. Chunks of lobster tossed with pickled onions, pineapple, queso fresco, served over a crisp tortilla. For entrees my wife had the 8 oz Filet Mignon and I had the Cajun Shrimp and Grits. Both were perfectly cooked. Looking forward to our next visit.

    2024 Christmas Eve dinner. Fruitta di Mar was excellent. Fried calamari was good but a bit over cooked. Carpaccio was excellent. Chicken Savoy was also overdone and dry inside. Seafood fra diavolo was excellent. Chicken capriccio was delicious. Halibut was great. Dylan was very attentive and the many servers from the kitchen were impressive. Italian cheesecake was superb. We had a better experience two yrs ago for a birthday dinner but still Highly recommended.

    We dine at the Poached Pear a few times a year. It is a favorite among our friends for fine dining. Service is always attentive and efficient without being overbearing. Entrees are plentiful and delicious. Prices are in line with other fine dining establishments $$$$ justified by consistentl quality food. BYOB
