    Food was all excellent. We had some lamb chops which my husband described as very special. All entrees were very good and we even saved room for some excellent desserts. Good service and good wine made it a great night out

    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.
