Our waiter, Shawn was outstanding! Very attentive and personable. Our food was delicious - one snag was the fried brussel sprouts. They were really inedible but Shawn brought us a new plate and they were delicious.

We dined in on the senior menu. The Senior Menu and meal were outstanding. The steak was cooked to perfection, the pear and pecan salad was fresh and very tasty, shared a cream spinach as a side and a crème brûlée for dessert. The restaurant is charming, our server was fantastic and friendly, and the noise level was minimal. If you haven’t tried Perry Steakhouse at Short Pump, you need to treat yourself to an excellent dining experience!

Fantastic dinner. David Shannon rocks. Every morsel was over-the-top delicious and Kendel, our server, couldn't have been more polished, personable, and professional. The Vegan Orgy on Texas Beach was a complete flavor banger as promised, I would sell my soul for another bite of the Swank Bank — the whole thing is obscenely delicious, and the halibut was, of course, to die for. Thank you for a special birthday dinner.

The best restaurant we have visited in months! Everyone was so kind and welcoming. When my husband and I asked questions about the menu, the waitress was very detailed when she explained the specific dishes we had asked about. Was the best experience and food was amazing! Cannot wait to go back !
