    I’m always amazed at how many restaurants seat you at the worst table in the place. To the hostess’s credit she did finally seat us in a very nice booth. Server Jerry was fantastic and very patient. We were able to really enjoy the food and company. Jerry made great recommendations for wine and food making it a special holiday dinner with friends. Great menu and delicious food.

    This was my fourth Thanksgiving dinner at Perry's. The first time we sat in the dining room which was great but when we were leaving I took a tour of the bar area and loved the atmosphere there. The two fireplaces and mix of hightop tables, booths and regular tables is so inviting. The lighting and outdoor/indoor screening are perfect. You don't even notice that there are televisions. The food is always perfect. I have the filet mignon and it is always cooked perfectly. The spinach artichoke dip is so creamy and addicting. The wine list has a great variety to choose from and I had a sample of the Rose which I might try next time. I had the Dr Loosen Riesling that was just sweet enough for dinner. The Thanksgiving menu with turkey and the traditional sides looked really good but I just can't pass up an awesome filet mignon. Joel was our server and he was delightful, funny, smart and so kind. I am returning to Perry's in a few days to meet a friend for dinner. It is our favorite place to have delicious food in an energetic atmosphere.

    Our family had Thanksgiving dinner at Palm Court and it was wonderful. We had a 2:30 reservation and were seated immediately. Biana, our server was great. The turkey dinner was delicious…thick slices of turkey with mashed potatoes, cranberries, dressing and green beans. We all enjoyed our dinners and had a very enjoyable time.
