This naturally sustainable approach allows for innovative, yet familiar dishes that highlight the seasonal availability of what’s grown and raised in Texas.

    Our experience at Nido tonight was absolutely amazing! The service was excellent, and Holden went above and beyond to accommodate our friend’s dietary restrictions with thoughtful suggestions. The ambiance was perfect, setting the tone for a relaxing and enjoyable evening. Watching the sunset added a magical touch to the atmosphere, making the night even more memorable. A big thank you to the team for creating such a delightful experience—we can’t wait to return!

    Everything was great except for parking. The open table website indicated that there was valet - but finding the valet stand - was challenging because it was not in front or behind the restaurant. When I finally figured out where the valet stand was - the stand was right in front of a stop sign, and you cant easily get out of your car to give to the valet w a bunch of cars behind you. I had to find a parking spot down the street. Parking in that area is a nightmare.

    Perla’s food and service are always wonderful. Today’s server, Kristen, upped the bar. She was fantastic. It was a gorgeous day, so the deck was packed but we had a relaxed, easier to talk and to “take our time” lunch with an old friend in from out-of-town inside. Insanely yummy oyster po’boy. Love you Perla’s.
