Come to try this place. Foods are good, offered different types of meat and seafood. I tried the beef short rib that it's a bit salty for me, but my kids like it. They also offer kid's dishes. The environment is a bit noisy, hard to hear my friend's talk.

It gives me no please to offer this review. We were disappointed with our experience at The Bourbon Pear. We ordered the New York French dip and chicken sandwich with Brie The New York French Dip was essentially just a steak sandwich with a side of dip. Unfortunately the steak itself was an absolute salt bomb and came out welldone - like smoked!! It overwhelmed the dish and made it even more difficult to eat. The chicken sandwich was also dry, which was surprising because there was both brie and a pear slice as toppings. The kitchen service was slow, especially considering how little people were in the restaurant and how straightforward these dishes should be. I’d strongly suggest the chef reconsider his/her liberally seasoning and unattended cooking. Both dishes missed basic preparation standards. There’s potential here, but the food quality and consistency need attention. On a positive note, my lovely wife really liked the Pear-tini

Tried this place for the first time. VERY noisy... could barely hear my conversation with my wife. Food was good . I will say the French onion soup was one of the best I've ever tasted! Salmon was ok.... My wife had a steak Salad and wasn't impressed, the meat was tough and semi flavorful. I did like the Salmon and it was a 6 out of 10. A little over cooked.

It feels like a very average downtown spot - not terrible, but nothing that really stands out either. The space is pretty tight, the design is forgettable, and the overall vibe doesn’t leave much of an impression. Sitting near the entrance was especially uncomfortable since it was drafty and chilly, which isn’t ideal on a Friday night. Loved the giant pictures on the walls though. The pricing is on the higher side for what’s being offered. Snacks felt overpriced, and drinks being close to $20 set expectations that just weren’t met. Food-wise, the loaded bread was left behind on the table and didn’t get much attention, and the hush puppies came out a bit dry. Service was all over the place throughout the night - sometimes attentive, other times disorganized which made the experience feel inconsistent. Overall, it’s an okay option if you’re already in downtown Livermore, but the value and experience don’t really match the prices.
