James Joyce Pub: Harbor East, Baltimore, MD, USA
Truth be told, I rarely get salads when I eat out because it’s normally not worth the money. However, I wasn’t super hungry but yet as I hadn’t had a regular dinner, I needed to get something. So this time, I splurged on a poached pear salad at the James Joyce Pub after my friends and I finished watching the latest Pixar movie, “Inside Out”.
Poached Pear Salad
PROS
- great quantity
- extremely generous with the candied walnuts
- good proportion of balsamic reduction dressing – my favorite actually
CONS
- could use a crouton
- definitely more poached pears given the amount of goat cheese on the salad.

I killed this salad, it was that good. I love candied walnuts, and it was great to see a salad that was this generous with this topping. For $9, it was worth it. I was totally filled up, I felt great, and it tasted wonderful. A balsalmic reduction dressing is a sweeter version of balsalmic vinaigrette because it literally has been boiled down to get more sweet. I remember the first time I had it at a farmers market up in Whistler, CAN and had to buy two bottles to bring back.
