We made our reservations for 4:00 on Thanksgiving. We were offered their regular menu and a special menu for Thanksgiving, which is what we ordered. It included butternut squash soup, turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, carrots and green beans. It also included dessert, a slice of pumpkin praline cheesecake for believe it or not, $34.98. We started with an appetizer which we didn’t need, flatbread with feta and grilled tomatoes drizzled with balsamic. Crazy delicious! The soup was good and there was a generous serving of turkey, including a small portion of dark meat. The mashed potatoes were also good and the stuffing was okay. I am very picky about stuffing. It was mostly bread and I think I saw carrots in it but regardless it was bland. There was also gravy. The vegetables were awesome and the dessert was excellent. I had an espresso martini and my husband an old fashioned and beer. I ended up taking some dinner and dessert home. Our waitress, Sunshine, was pretty great too.

Perry’s has a lovely setting for seating outside, the “patio” is covered and has two beautiful fireplaces. So even though it was a chilly windy day we were very comfortable. Service however was slow and while It all worked out it was still a concern. Thanksgiving dinner was ok, the turkey was smoked more than I care for, the green beans were very crisp and the stuffing was unpleasant. The food seemed to have been sitting a bit too long under a heat lamp and it had formed a crust over parts. One of us had a steak and potatoes augratin and they were very pleased with the dinner. So go for the steak and stay away from special holiday meals…perhaps.

I took my husband for his birthday and he really enjoyed it. The ambience, food and service was great. Only, I would have loved to go during the day to see the outdoor waterfront. I would definitely go back again.

First place to ever charge me $2.50 for 3 stuffed olives in my drink especially when I just asked for 1.

We always enjoy visiting Wine Whisperer. The team members take pains to see that we enjoy our wine and have a delicious meal. Jenna spent extra time telling us about the wine. Alex, Josh and Taylor provided exceptional service. And Amber stopped to say hello. You won’t find a better dining experience in Richmond!
