“After what feels like a very long build, we’re finally almost there,” say Matthew and Rachel Buchanan, owners of The Leaning Pear restaurant.
In the Fall of 2023, the couple embarked on an expansion of the eco-conscious restaurant’s bar, patio and parking areas. Last week, the new pedestrian bridge that spans the Cypress Creek watershed at the rear of the property was completed. The lighted walkway over the creek connects customers to the restaurant from the newly completed rear parking area, located about 400 yards further southeast along River Road. The parking area is equipped with an EV charging station and there are two benches with views along the watershed on the pedestrian walkway.
Still underway is the rebuild and expansion of a new 1,000 square foot bar and pergola that will shade outdoor tables.
