Restaurants near Lorenzo de Zavala State Archives and Library Building

We had a part of 9 and have gone to Perry’s as part of a holiday tradition for 5 years. The food was good, although some of the meats were too salty and the lamb had too much pepper. The service was not great with the server leaving us for 20 minutes at a time. He had at least 4 large Pattie’s of 8 or more so I think he was doing best he could.

The food was exceptional, the staff attentive, the price reasonable for the quality, and our experience memorable. We would definitely come back again.

Food was excellent but for the quality of dining experience we expected better service. Our waitress had no suggestions for food or cocktails (almost like it was an inconvenience to be asked) and seemed less than attentive and not very friendly.

J. Carver's was special. So thank you Andrew! Our wonderful server was Nora who took care of us from start to finish. The cocktails were beautiful and were enjoyed. We had oysters, escargot, steak tartare, crab cakes, garlic bread, and steak. Special steak knives? Fun! We also had several delicious sides and lovely desserts. Everything was outstanding - food, service, atmosphere. We will return.

What a memorable night! It was worth the wait of having to make a reservation months in advance. We dined on a Friday evening and there was such a synergy to the entire restaurant. Even the Chef on expo looked so at ease with tickets flying in, he stopped and said hi to a smiling baby. Our server Kevin made us feel welcomed and as if we were the only table he was serving, just flawless. The steak cut like butter, it was perfect and highly recommend. The gnocchi reminded me of the last time I was in Italy, just delicious fluffy pillows. Our 9 year old had the Bolognese and it was bursting with flavor which was unexpected but delightful. We also had the meatballs and garlic bread, a perfect way to start the meal. Save room for dessert, you will not be disappointed. The only criticism was that our table was by the entry door and it was drafty and cold. I had to keep my jacket on during dinner, but other than that we look forward to returning in March!
