    We always enjoy Perry's... so we decided to try it for Thanksgiving and they had a Thanksgiving offer... My husband chose the Thanksgiving special and although he said it was fine.. He was disappointed in the taste and the quantity of the food for the price.. He said definitely when he wants a steak he would go to Perrys.. This was a less than stellar choice for Turkey.

    This was our first visit and it was outstanding! We arrived early for our reservation and were seated immediately. Our waiter was excellent, charming and very helpful. The food was unique, in our experience, beautifully presented, and delicious! Wait staff was attentive without being a distraction. It was the best local dining experience we have had in years and we can’t wait to return.

    The big pretzel was amazing, pizza was good, drinks were flowing. Music was .. loud .. and present .. but overall we had a really good night out with the kids. Wasn't particularly cheap, so maybe not soon, but would definitely do again!
