Food and service was outstanding. We had so many folks checking on us, but it was not intrusive. They engaged with us about the food and how we are doing. The restaurant was gorgeous. A little too pricey to go every week but not terrible.

We have been coming to Perry’s for the last 3 years for an annual dinner and this year we lucked out with Danielle as our waitress! The right amount of checking in, knew the entire menu and gave great recommendations! She was kind enough to bring all the desserts for a tasting and ended our night with some amazing sweet treats. We can’t wait for our next Perry’s Moms Dinner!

Excellent restaurant. 5/5 in all areas. Had the Miso Salmon and it was some of the best tasting Salmon I’ve had in a long time. My guest enjoyed their meal as well. Staff is very friendly and everything was served in a timely manner. Best dining experience I’ve had in Houston so far.
