    An Unforgettable Dining Experience! I recently had the pleasure of dining at Perry’s and it was truly exceptional. From start to finish, everything about the experience was flawless. The food was outstanding—each dish was a perfect blend of flavors, beautifully presented, and cooked to perfection. The service was just as impressive. The staff were attentive, knowledgeable, and made us feel welcomed from the moment we walked in. They ensured every detail was taken care of without being intrusive. The ambiance added to the experience, with its elegant decor and relaxing atmosphere, making it the perfect setting for a special evening. I highly recommend Perry’s to anyone looking for an exceptional dining experience. It’s a true gem, and I can’t wait to return!

    This place was more than amazing, I celebrated my friends birthday and it was perfect from the food to the service. I ordered the crab claws & cajun pasta and it was a 10/10. The restaurant had a really nice ambiance and aesthetically pleasing as a great place to take cute pictures. We also had a giant teddy bear at our table that was the highlight of my friend’s night.

    Alenxander was an amazing server, and we appreciate how attentive he was. The atmosphere was pleasant, and we enjoyed our food. The filet seems a bit overpriced, but we enjoyed our food overall.

    The only thing I would change about our dinner. When the chocolate gateau was served it served with a side plate for each of us. Unfortunately the plates were really warm. They must have come directly from the dishwasher to the table. Since the dessert is served with gelato, a warm plate seemed out of place. This small gaffe notwithstanding, the entire experience was outstanding. Our food was full of flavor, the room was full of life, and service was spot on.

    Sat in the “gazebo” across from the main entrance. Absolutely lovely. Ambiance was great and food was really good. They store their wines in a cellar so the older wine that I selected had aged properly. Absolutely will be back the next time we are in town.
