    We have been coming to Perry’s for the last 3 years for an annual dinner and this year we lucked out with Danielle as our waitress! The right amount of checking in, knew the entire menu and gave great recommendations! She was kind enough to bring all the desserts for a tasting and ended our night with some amazing sweet treats. We can’t wait for our next Perry’s Moms Dinner!

    Just a thanks to Bria that served us so well with attention. Food was good as usual . On a not that bad note , we order a second bottle of wine that was on the special of the day . They didn’t have it saying we had only one . They offered us 2 other selections , we choose one . Was supposedly to get a discount or have it at same price than first one as per that assistant manager . Well we paid it full price and never received the promise discount . That assistant manager just disappear 🤷‍♂️

    Wow! Great dinner here tonight. Jonathan’s is known for their steak and Italian, which has always been solid. But I’m trying to eat light before the holidays and ordered sea bass. It did not disappoint! My friend went for piccata but requested to sub with shrimp. They accommodated our requests and the food really was exceptional. Don’t miss the chocolate cake that was bleeding chocolate. So nice. Our server, Eduardo, was the best. The GM, Sam Levine, is on top of things ensuring that all is running smoothly. I will be back. So glad this place is in the neighborhood.

    I really enjoyed the Wednesday night special that comes with a complimentary charcuterie spread for a group of 4 or more ladies. The drinks were wonderful and the ambiance was really great. We had the owner as our server and she was so sweet checking in on us to make sure we had what we needed. I loved that we had couches and a private area. It is nice to go somewhere for drinks that has proper seating for catching up. The music was not over powering to where we couldn't hear one another speaking. The front entry is actually an adorable candy shop and there is FREE CANDY! It was an extremely nice treat. Drink prices were fair for the times we are in. Bathroom were cute and each stall had its own sink. Great touch. There was a cute photo opp with the mirrors in the bathroom corridor as well. With a little lighting, it would be amazing! Would absolutely return. Would be a great spot to start being a regular
