    We always enjoy Perry's... so we decided to try it for Thanksgiving and they had a Thanksgiving offer... My husband chose the Thanksgiving special and although he said it was fine.. He was disappointed in the taste and the quantity of the food for the price.. He said definitely when he wants a steak he would go to Perrys.. This was a less than stellar choice for Turkey.

    We've been coming for years. Favorites include Amazon escargot as well as mushroom ravioli. This night I had a special appetizer of ceviche and shrimp sausage, both of which were delicious. I recently had a bouillabaisse special that was event and satisfying.

    This was our first visit and it was outstanding! We arrived early for our reservation and were seated immediately. Our waiter was excellent, charming and very helpful. The food was unique, in our experience, beautifully presented, and delicious! Wait staff was attentive without being a distraction. It was the best local dining experience we have had in years and we can’t wait to return.

    Food and service always great here. Except on this night the waitress was a little rushed and unfocused. She forgot to put the order in for one of our pizzas. Then blamed it on us saying we told her we only wanted one. Not what happed at all. We initially ordered 3 pizzas and the. She said they have gluten free why don’t you do two instead so we agreed. She only put the gluten free one in to make and we never received the regular cheese.
