    Seven of us had dinner to celebrate the birthdays of two of us. The service was absolutely outstanding and responsive. Appetizers (mushrooms and crabcakes) were great, and entries delicious. We were able to taste four different wines to determine which bottles of red and white we wanted. When we were cold, a heater was brought in to help. We had requested the garden room, hoping it would be quieter, and it was very nice.

    Perla's is Excellent! Went for a date-night dinner. Previously had only done the patio (apps/ bloodys, etc... which is great as well!) but do yourself a favor and have a proper meal there. Service is attentive and professional. Quality of food and flavor profile is something else ! Kicking myself for neglecting this spot the last 15+ years.
