    PERILLA Steakhouse delivers a refined and flavorful dining experience with a focus on high-quality ingredients and well-executed dishes. Starting off, the cold tasting plate was fresh and delicious, setting the tone for the meal with a balance of flavors and textures. It was a great way to begin, especially for those who appreciate lighter, well-prepared starters. For the main course, the Wagyu steakhouse set stood out as a highlight. The steak was cooked to perfection, showcasing the rich marbling and deep umami flavor that Wagyu is known for. The accompanying sides complemented the dish well, rounding out the experience. The roasted bone marrow set was good, but the toast served alongside was soaked with butter, making it a bit too heavy when paired with the already rich bone marrow. A simple grilled sourdough bread would have been a better choice, allowing the marrow’s natural flavors to shine without being overly fatty.

    Steaks and sides were great, and service. Entree salads were mediocre. Great place to go before a show.
