    Our first visit. Overall- I always believe service wins over food. A diner can make a bad choice, but rude service is never ok. Tonight we got amazing service from Tristan and Tray. I didn’t make a good choice on my food- but totally my palette. But Tray would not take me being unhappy. They just were awesome. Treated us like diners they cared about - not even knowing if we were tourists or locals- didn’t care. We will. return! We are relocating here and now know where we will return to! Thank you!

    Went back to Perry's after an extended period of time for an "Adult" dinner. We pre-planned ahead and asked for a booth, as we sat in the middle of the restaurant last time, and it was a bit "cozy." Our server (Adrian T) did an outstanding job and did not rush or hover, knowing they wanted to enjoy the dining experience. Adrian was spot on and even handled my unusual drink order before dinner. We ordered the BBQ Shrimp and Steak tater Tots (not your normal tater tots that is for sure). The main course was incredible, with the wife having the coffee-crusted filet, and I had the Perry's Special Pork Chop. Both main courses were great and even somehow had room for the seasonal Pumpkin Cheesecake dessert. While we had stayed away recently, Perry's is now firmly in our dinner rotation. As a side note, we discovered that Perry's has Verdad in their family of restaurants. So 2 for 2 on recommendations.

    My wife and I enjoy Paul Martin's every time we dine there. The cocktails are mixed nicely and every meal has been outstanding. This occasion we had the Salt & Pepper Shrimp for an appetizer then decided to try the Steak & Frites and it was fantastic! I usually get the Blackened Ribeye, a Burger, or the Brick Chicken. All have been tasty. Overall a great mid-range cost dinner for 2 with a classy comfortable atmosphere. Well done

    Food was good as always, as someone who cannot eat gluten it'd be nice if they had a gluten-free dessert.
