    Even though it was a very busy night and all tables were full, the service at Perry’s was excellent and we never felt neglected. There was a set menu for Valentines weekend and I got the lobster bisque and bacon wrapped filet with lump crabmeat. It came with mashed potatoes and mixed veggies, all cooked perfectly. They did give me the wrong dessert so that was a bummer. I got it to go so I didn’t realize it until we got home but the chocolate strawberries were good even though I wanted the cheesecake. The price was $79 per person plus extra for drinks which was about the same as the regular menu price if we had ordered the same items.

    Food is always outstanding, including service. This is the second time we were seated upstairs. For me, timing was off both times. We waited a long time to get both appetizers. Our waiter came by and questioned why we hadn't had our appetizers yet. They were soon delivered. Then our entrees were there as we were finishing the appetizers. Food wasn't as hot as it usually is, but flavors are outstanding. Going forward, I will insist on sitting on the 1st floor main dining. Things flow better, and we don't feel rushed. It's a place we frequent, and we love the ambiance.

    So me & my girlfriend decided to spend our 1 year anniversary & valentines together at Papas bros, and we were not disappointed one bit! My girlfriend has celiac disease so we mentioned this to our waiter & she let us know she’d take care of it & for us not to worry, around 5 minutes after that conversation a gentleman came who introduced himself as the manger (Jack Kelly) hopefully I said his name right. He first off started by congratulating us on our 1 year he proceeded to inform us that he was made aware of my girlfriends food allergies & he wanted to personally let us know that there is no cross contamination with gluten items he even offered her “gluten free” bread which really made this experience go above & beyond since it is not that easy for my girlfriend to enjoy foods without worrying. Definitely recommend thank you again.

    We love this restaurant! The food was fabulous- I had rainbow trout and my husband had potato-crusted salmon. The service was excellent, and it’s a very cozy, beautiful restaurant. Great wine selection too.
