Unfathomable

At suggestion of waiter, ordered sirloin for two $70. Total bill including drinks and crab cakes $179. What a waste.

The sirloin, priced at rate for prime, was not of USDA rating (prime, choice, select). It was tough and full of gristle. Next day, cut the doggy bag contents (most of the order) into 1/4 inch cubes but still could not chew them. It was like rubber bands. I conclude this was from an unrated cow , probably over age dairy, and meant to be hamburger. Why would a fine dining restaurant do this kind of thing??

Pretty good, not great

by shinobi

I dined at this Perry's for the second time last night with a friend. I love the ambience. The restaurant is dark & sectioned off in small semi-private areas. The service was exceptional, very friendly. My friend and I shared the jumbo lump crab cakes for our appetizer. The crab cakes were breaded & deep fried. I thought it was decent. I prefer it sauteed, baked or broiled. We also shared the au gratin potatoes. It's very cheesy which I liked a lot, but my friend did not. We both had bone-in ribeyes. We both had the same opinion on the our steaks. The outer part of both steaks were a little burned & dry. The inner part was much juicier & flavorful. Overall, I thought the food was pretty good, but not special.

• Pros: ambience, service

A disappointment

by truestory85

I have dined at Perry's about 7 times now and each time it gets worse. The first two times I enjoyed my experience. The steak was cooked just the way I liked it and the service was prompt. The last couple of times however have been nothing short of disappointing. Not only is the service incredibly slow, but in a supposed fine dining restaurant I should not have to be begging for bread everytime I go. I should not have to be sending food back twice in a row that was incorrectcly prepared, and I should not have to add salt and pepper to my steak to give it flavor or immerse it in that garlic butter. Also when I enter a restaurant I expect for the hostess to ask me how many in your party today? Or how are you doing today? Not- what can I do for you? This place is a joke. I get more and more uncomfortable with each visit and I have to say that this last visit is the last time I plan on dining with Perry's. They are not even deserving of one star. Hence, Perry's staff if you are reading this, sorry but I can't give you anymore of my hard-earned money- you're just not good enough. Lose the snotty attitude, you're a young restaurant and you're still earning your standing.
