    I had been to the speakeasy side for dinner with girlfriends weeks prior and had such a fabulous dining experience that I brought my husband and another couple to dinner last night. We ordered our apps and dinner and knew we were going to get the coconut pie for dessert so placed that order as well. When it came time for dessert, our waitress broke the news to me that they were sold out. I had been dreaming of this dessert for weeks and was unbelievably shocked they didn’t have it. However, the staff came through and made up for it by delivering 3 desserts to the table: a chocolate cake, icecream sundae and a bundt cake. Talk about making up for it! While none of the desserts were as memorable as the coconut pie, they were still very good and the thoughtfulness of our waitress and manager to go above and beyond with the complimentary sweet treats left us eager to dine with them again! Run, don’t walk for incredible customer service, beautiful restaurant, and amazing food!

    There were four of us for our very first restaurant Thanksgiving dinner and other than the fact we couldn’t stretch out in a sofa immediately after it went perfectly! We were seated 15 mins early and attended by terrific Tony who was perfectly attentive in spite of being super busy. We all had the Turkey meal, we were all extra hungry and polished off the warm bread really quick. The platters of Turkey, stuffing, green beans, mashed potatoes, and cranberry sauce came hot and heaping! We made the mistake(?) of preordering a dessert to share. We had to ask for 4 to go plates plus one for the ginormous 7 layer half choc cake they served! Everything was wonderful and we had a great first Holiday dinner out! Thank you Perry’s!

    Our waitress was very helpful and friendly, she recommended some favorites and was able to give us a half and half carafe for our mimosas. My 1st course (elote -corn bread) was very tasty and my salad was delicious and a very good portion. Will definitely go back to try some of their other meals!
