    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!

    Scallops were perfectly cooked and seasoned. Calamari was crisp and fresh tasting. Portions were average, service was great

    One of our go-tos. Patio was energetic. Food was perfect. Service was a bit slow and out of order this time, but to be fair, they were SLAMMED and everyone was very friendly and gracious.
