Perla’s food and service are always wonderful. Today’s server, Kristen, upped the bar. She was fantastic. It was a gorgeous day, so the deck was packed but we had a relaxed, easier to talk and to “take our time” lunch with an old friend in from out-of-town inside. Insanely yummy oyster po’boy. Love you Perla’s.

This place was like a hidden gem! Maybe because I never looked into gluten free food options until I had to. But everything was incredible! The location is super cute, they have great mocktails (if you don’t drink) and the food is outstanding! I will definitely be back.
