    We had a wonderful dinner at Perla‘s. The food, the atmosphere. (we sat on the patio. It was a gorgeous night.) and of course, the amazing service. Perla is one of my favorite spots in Austin, I can’t wait until next time. The burger is amazing, I love the wedge salad with crab, last night we had the scallops with pea risotto and of course the french fries are always a must. Thank you!

    This was our first visit to Perla, but we'll definitely be back! Our server Zach helped us choose from the menu items (so many things sounded good). Everything we ordered, from oysters to green salad to the fresh fish (OMG the seabass!) was amazing! I'm already looking forward to our next visit. Thanks Perla - see you soon!
