The experience was nothing short of exceptional, starting with the seamless reservation process that made planning our visit a breeze. The atmosphere was beautifully inviting, filled with soft lighting and an energetic buzz that created the perfect backdrop for our gathering. We were seated in a cozy nook that allowed for intimate conversations while still soaking in the lively ambiance of the restaurant.

    This was our first trip to RH Rooftop. As everyone has said, the ambiance is terrific, it's beautifully decorated and the fountain is a great touch. Once we were seated and ordered our drinks, it took a while for them to arrive. We started off with the the Steffano Burrata, we really enjoyed this starter. We also ordered the Caesar salad to share, it too was good, but it came out with the meal, We were afraid that was going to happen and I tried to let our server know we wanted out before the meal, but the next time we saw him was when they brought the food out. Because of this, the manager comped us huge cookies for dessert. My wife ordered the grilled shrimp and asparagus. I ordered the shaved ribeye dip. Both meals were very good. But, since everything is a la cart, the prices were over the top for what you got. For us, this was a nice dinner out, we enjoy high end restaurants, but for us, the price didn't match product. RH Rooftop is a one and done for us.

    Exceptional dining experience. We thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of the meal. Prior to dinner, we had cocktails and I ordered their Signature Old Fashion. It was honestly one of the best Old Fashion cocktails I’ve ever had. The flavor and presentation was just perfect! Our sides and entrees were cooked to perfection and the atmosphere was so cozy. The wait staff was exceptional and our server, Dakota, was extremely professional and responsive. He made the dining experience one that we will remember and definitely want to return.

    Our first time dining at Perry's and what a great experience! We had the Prix Fixe Christmas Eve dinner that included an appetizer, entree and dessert. It was all so good! The restaurant was busy for the holiday but we never felt rushed. Everyone was friendly and welcoming! Can't wait to go back.
