   It was our first time going to a place like this, my girlfriend and I were very pleased with everything. Will definitely recommend this place to anyone who’s open to new things.

   Very good Barman on both visits. 2nd visit we ate in the restaurant. Our host was fine to begin with, when we sent the under cooked Korean chicken back he clearly took the hump. His attitude changed completely and he was down right rude. Pricey for what we had and the frites were inedible.

   Second time here. First time was excellent but this time it did not hit the same level. The food was very salty this time.

   This place was soooo good! Perfect dinner, excellent service- friendly and knowledgeable staff, gave us suggestions for all courses. Everything we had was fantastic—the grilled oysters and the scallops were perfect and full of flavor, and the monkey bread was an incredible. Cocktails were both creative and delicious. The meats were all expertly prepared, and the dipping sauces added great flavor. Truly great - an excellent meal with excellent staff - highly recommended!

   This was a fun take on a steak dinner. Steak set and accompaniments were great but the kimchi rice was phenomenal. Monkey bread, broccolini, and mushrooms were all delicious as well. Nice selection of cocktails with NA options. Try the yuja sorbet for a palate cleanser, punch to the taste buds but keep coming back for more, dessert.

   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.

   So disappointing The food ranged from good to delicious but the experience was so disappointing. The meal was going well until the end. We opted out of dessert but my cousin was drinking her second cocktail and I was drinking coffee. The server came over, poured me some and then took the French press which was half full away. He didn't ask if I were done. I said something to one of the many servers and he said they needed the table. Even thought another table had been occupied when we entered (the server said it was manger's family) we were being asked to leave. We would have left in the next 10 minutes anyway but the rudeness and abruptness was so off putting.. He said he would take the coffee off the bill, but no apology. Another table had also sat down around the same time we did. The mother said they were early and didn't want to order until their son arrived. They were finished but they hadn't gotten a check. I guess they didn't need that table.

   Service was great. We didn’t do the theater prefix which i will prob do next time. The steak sets are great cuts but wish they gave more (We didn’t share that so could be why). Monkey bread was amazing and the JuJu mountain mocktail was outstanding. Definitely get the chocolate cake for dessert!

    Lovely dinner! Started with scallop crudo, buttery, then enjoyed the cold sampler to pick up our seafood fix with oysters, shrimp, and crab. They ran out of monkey bread, but accommodated us with the gochujang butter and focaccia! The kimchi stew was savory, and the waygu steakhouse sets were the stars. Loved the cocktails as well! The staff were wonderful, and made sure everything was refreshed through the evening.
