- CCourtneyNashville •2 reviews5.0Dined 1 day agoFRIENDS CHRISTMAS! 5 women and I was the only one who had been here before. We were on a cozy round table near the wine cellar. Demetrius was our waiter....he was extremely knowledgeable of the menu, offered suggestions, etc. But his timing was perfect! Never rushed us, always knew when to come by and offer more drinks or check on us. Wedge salad is my personal favorite and it was a hit at our table. Filet can't be beat, sharable sides were great and the french onion & lobster bisque soups my friends had was delish! We brought gifts and exchanged, talked until closing time and had a wonderful experience!More infoPerry's Steakhouse & Grille - Cool SpringsPrice: Expensive• Steakhouse• Franklin•4.7
