- LLeticiaAustin •1 review5.0Dined 1 day agoOur server, Leeann C was incredibly kind. She offered to take our group photo as we were celebrating the Christmas holiday over lunch. When I asked about the soup of the day and told her my favorite was the tomato bisque, she said it wasn't on today's menu but she went to the kitchen and found out the chef's were already preparing it. She subbed it for me to make me happy!More infoNorth Italia – AustinPrice: Moderate• Italian• Northwest•4.6

I ordered the Steak Frites, the fries and arugula salad were okay, but the steak was exceptional, tender, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. Service was very good.More infoCulinary Dropout - AustinPrice: Moderate• American• Northwest•4.6
- AAnnetteAustin •30 reviews5.0Dined on Dec 11, 2024As always, I had an amazing time at Perry's. The food (pork chop, mashed potatoes) and wine were delicious and delivered fresh and our server was patient as I waited for my guest to arrive. Though it was a Wednesday, I was surprised by the noise level in the main dining area but apparently there were a lot of holiday celebrations going on. I loved to see that! Additionally, my guest really enjoyed the peach plane cocktail, including the cute plane positioned on top of the glass.More infoPerry's Steakhouse & Grille - Domain NorthsidePrice: Expensive• Steakhouse• Arboretum•4.7
- DDarshanAustin •2 reviews4.0Dined on Dec 11, 2024The waiter did make a mistake on one of our orders but they were very nice to help provide an alternative solution after they realized the mistake. It was a little more noisy than expected, but the ambience was nice. It was our anniversary celebration and they gave us a complimentary slice of cake with champagne, which was a nice touch! I definitely enjoyed the food and the overall experience, and will return here in the future.More infoPaul Martin's - AustinPrice: Expensive• American• North Central•4.6
