    Expectations were high, because we’ve heard so much about it. However, expectations were exceeded. Everything was great. Great ambience lively energy. Amazing food great service. Not cheap but you get what you pay for Kelli was our waitress and she was awesome and there was a team backing her. I didn’t catch their names, but they were great as well

    Amazing from start to finish. Super personable and helpful waitstaff who helped us figure out the menu and must-have items. Vibe was lively but also intimate. Every dish was the best version of that I’ve ever had. Tuna Tiridito was crunchy and creamy. Fish tacos light and fresh. Zarandeado was a knockout - smoky. Guava cheesecake was rich, but with a good textural balance with the candied pepitas. Can’t wait to come back

    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.

    We had not been back to Red Ash since before the Pandemic. Shame on us! Now we certainly will make a new reservation as soon as possible, which will probably be a few months from now. Red Ash is so popular that it is that difficult to get a table. But the wait is certainly worth it. This evening we tried the Octopus a la Plancha at our server, Emma's suggestion. Octopus for our first time. It was wonderfully delicious and tender. For dinner we split Frutti di Mare, a wonderful selection of seafood laid on a bed of the best black and white sphagettini. Cooked perfectly! Emma was the perfect hostess and we were able to reconnect with Brand Favata, our favorite server from six years ago. It seems that very few few employees leave Red Ash. It is such a wonderful restaurant!! We'll be back very soon.
