    We arrived a little earlier than our reserved time but we’re still welcomed and seated. Adrian greeted us soon after seating and took our beverage orders. We started with the bacon wrapped shrimp that were nice and Smokey and delicious, next were our Caesar salads, another delicious course and love that it was topped with anchovies! The salad dressing was slightly saltier than what I’m use to but it was still very tasty. Entrees consisted of the Friday’s pork chop lunch special and seared scallop pasta. The pork chop is always the star of the show, nuff said! The scallops with thick ribboned pasta was quite al dente however I’d prefer it under than overcooked. I was a little disappointed with the 3 small scallops but overall it was still delicious. For dessert, we were celebrating my husbands birthday and were offered an applicable, complimentary dessert, of course he picked the one that wasn’t comp which was just fine, we ordered the chocolate jubilee cake that could feed 4-6ppl, yikes but so good for the chocolate lovers, not too rich and sweet, it’s just right! I didn’t think the cherries added much to the presentation so we opted to not take leftovers home with us. I’ve been to Perry’s many times at the downtown location but loved the Domain. The ambiance, service and food were spectacular, thank you!!

    From the time we walked in to the time we left the entire staff was warm and very welcoming. The thanksgiving day menu was delicious and they also had a good selection if you did not want turkey. Our server Anne N made us feel very welcome. She explained the menu and gave us time to decide. Anne N was very patient with me in deciding what to order . The food came in a timely manner and was delicious. Anne N was very attentive to us in making sure we had everything we needed. I highly recommend Paul Martin’s to celebrate any special occasion or just to have a great meal and dinning experience.

    Our first visit. Overall- I always believe service wins over food. A diner can make a bad choice, but rude service is never ok. Tonight we got amazing service from Tristan and Tray. I didn’t make a good choice on my food- but totally my palette. But Tray would not take me being unhappy. They just were awesome. Treated us like diners they cared about - not even knowing if we were tourists or locals- didn’t care. We will. return! We are relocating here and now know where we will return to! Thank you!
