Unfathomable

27 June 09

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??

• Cons: Out of control chef

Pretty good, not great

by shinobi at Citysearch

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 at Citysearch

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.

The best only getting better...

by SLdiner at Citysearch

My girl friend and I went to Perry's this past weekend for our anniversary. Anyone who knows Sugar Land well knows that Perry's is THE place to go for anything special. The ambience, service, food, etc. are all so far above the rest of the restaurants in the area it's a shoe-in to make it your destination location when there's a lot riding on the line.

We valeted up front and the valets actually opened both of our doors and then the front door to the restaurant. They weclomed us to Perry's before we'd even made it inside. Pretty rare to see valets that care about anything more than the amount of tip you give them when you leave.

We were greeted by two young hostesses dressed in black suits. We checked in and were immediately escorted back to our table. To my surprise and my girlfriend's delight our table was decorated with rose petals and intricately folded napkins. My girlfriend asked if I did the petals and I didn't have the heart to tell her all I'd said was that we were celebrating our anniversary. Thanks Perry's for making me look even better.

Appetizers started with fried asparagus and cherry pepper calamari. Both excellent, the calamari was pretty spicey though, be careful. We shared a chateubrian which our server sold us on before we'd even opened the menus. It was amazing. Tender, juicy, and perfectly medium rare. The sauces they served with it accompanied it well, I preferred the peppercorn sauce, my girlfriend was partial to the bearnaise. Before we'd even ordered dessert, our server brought us a plate with a huge piece of caramel cake on it with "Happy Anniversary" written in chocolate. Another nice gesture that scored points with both of us. It's nice when a restaurant will actually go out of their way to show they care about your celebration.

All in all it was a great night, $150 with tip for two of us but worth every dollar. Keep it up Perry's, we're glad you're in Sugar Land!

• Pros: Attention to detail on special events, great steaks, ambience, friendly valet.

Great restaurant, with an fabulous sunday brunch!!!!!

by ShannonRiley at Citysearch

Im suprised by all the negative reviews. We love the Perry's off of Cypresswood. We always get warm, incredible service and our food is alwasy wonderful!! We especially love the sunday brunch, it is reasonably priced and the different types of Benedicts are our favorites! All the food is served with warm, delicious muffins and fresh fruits, and they have bottomless mamosas if interested. We always celebrate our anniversary there. We have also called in take out for special occation take out, and it comes warm and perfect. The chops are fantastic and I highly recommend the warm spinich salad. There is always more than enough food and leftovers. The restaurant is beautiful and the food is fantastic. Always a great expereince for us.

Had me at hello

by nick_papagiorgio at Citysearch

I visited Perry's for the first time last winter after hearing rave reviews from friends and family. I had just moved to the Houston area from Philadelphia and was looking for a great steakhouse for my girlfriend and I to call our home. From the relaxing upscale ambiance with Sinatra in my ear to the melt in my mouth filet mignon it was excellent. Our waiter, Geoff was excellent. He was very professional and attentive without being annoying. The extensive wine list allowed my girlfriend and I to try a couple half bottles of some wines that we had never tried before that were excellent recomendations from our waiter. I actually liked that the manager just walked through the dining room and actually helped the waiter with tableside flambees instead of asking me how everything was. If I wanted to talk to the manager I would ask for him/her. I would recommend Perry's of Sugar Land to anyone looking for a great steakhouse and tell them to get the filet or the seven finger high pork chop which my girlfriend had and was the best porkchop i've ever had.

• Pros: great ambiance, excellent service, excellent food
• Cons: service was so good i had to tip more than the normal twenty percent

Its great for Sugar Land

by bmwm5driver at Citysearch

I have eaten at many steakhouses nationally, and many in Houston. Perry's Steakhouse in Sugar Land can deliver a wonderfull steak, fish and wine. Its a beautiful restaurant and the wait staff are generally really good. I have noticed they seem to have a lot of turn-over among thier waiters so the tips must not be good enough to make a career working at this location - typical for suburbia.

The food is equal or better than national chains like RuthsChris, Mortons The Palm. Morton's I really like but I find it inconsistent among cities, I dont like RuthsChris, Smith and Wolensky's is just Rude in NY but better manners in the South, and The Palm is better in Denver than in Houston.

PappaBrothers Steak House in Houston is the BEST but it feels like NY prices - but still worth the drive!! Perry's has an good wine list but its pricey to keep the Riff-Raff out. Entree's, vegitables and desserts are really good - try the 7 finger porkchop and the Icecream ball with nuts - delicious!

We're glad to have Perry's in Sugar Land and wish they'd open another Italian Grill near bye.

• Pros: Easy parking, elegant restaurant, good wait staff, good food
• Cons: Pricey wine list

Fine dining, music and ambiance make this steakhouse a popular stop for Sugar Land executives and connoisseurs of the restaurant's 28-day dry-aged steaks.

*Great customer service and food*

by bruth23 at Citysearch

We had a wonderful time for our 20th anniversary Feb 14th. Food was excellent although most of staff seemed somewhat inexperienced all in all I would recommend this restaurant highly.Pork chop was out of this world but I am still trying to comprehend the excitement over the scalloped potatoes. I would rate them only a 6, the asparagus were much tastier. If you are looking for a restaurant that offers good food and ambience then you will not be disappointed. We were actually most impressed with the service from the valet upon arrival to our departure we were treated like royalty. Thank you for a memorable evening.

HORRIBLE... overwhelming cigar smoke in the dining room and inexperienced staff

by jess1029 at Citysearch

We had a horrible dining experience.... Fine dining should be fine dining. The staff is not well trained. There are far to many other GREAT restaurants in Houston - don' t bother going here. From my table I could see the waiters arguing about service. Our waitress didn't know how to serve wine and spilled the wine all over the glass and on to the table....repeatedly each time she refilled my glass. And then the cigar smoke started to overcome the dining room. It was beyond bad. They said that a door had just been put in to separate the dining room from the bar but, no one seemed to keep it shut and it didn't seem to help at all. I left the restaurant with my hair and clothes smelling like cigars.

• Pros: location
• Cons: inexperienced staff and poor venhilation - dining room filled with smoke
