Food and service was outstanding. We had so many folks checking on us, but it was not intrusive. They engaged with us about the food and how we are doing. The restaurant was gorgeous. A little too pricey to go every week but not terrible.

We have been coming to Perry’s for the last 3 years for an annual dinner and this year we lucked out with Danielle as our waitress! The right amount of checking in, knew the entire menu and gave great recommendations! She was kind enough to bring all the desserts for a tasting and ended our night with some amazing sweet treats. We can’t wait for our next Perry’s Moms Dinner!

Wow! Great dinner here tonight. Jonathan’s is known for their steak and Italian, which has always been solid. But I’m trying to eat light before the holidays and ordered sea bass. It did not disappoint! My friend went for piccata but requested to sub with shrimp. They accommodated our requests and the food really was exceptional. Don’t miss the chocolate cake that was bleeding chocolate. So nice. Our server, Eduardo, was the best. The GM, Sam Levine, is on top of things ensuring that all is running smoothly. I will be back. So glad this place is in the neighborhood.
