I was really looking forward to trying this recipe, but I was disappointed. The scallops were overcooked and the pear sauce was too sweet. I won't be making this again.

Overall, I thought this dish was pretty good. The scallops were cooked perfectly and the pear sauce was a nice touch. However, I think I would have preferred a different sauce. Maybe a lemon-butter sauce or a white wine sauce.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my scallops turned out rubbery. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.

This recipe was just okay. The scallops were a bit dry and the pear sauce was bland. I wouldn't make it again.

I found the pear sauce to be a bit too sweet for my taste. I would probably use a different sauce next time.

I followed the recipe exactly and the scallops turned out overcooked. I think I would cook them for a shorter amount of time next time.
