Excellent service, friendly menu suggestions by the server, followed by great food.

As always an elegant dining experience in a beautiful setting! Every staff member encountered was exceptionally friendly, professional and above and beyond in service! From fresh creative salads, bruschetta, brussel sprouts and french onion soup expertly created and prepared! Our main courses cooked to perfection- loved the Surf and Turf and Shrimp Florentine! The sides of fingerling potatoes,, creamed spinach and brussel sprouts were all delicious too! Of course chocolate coconut cake and coffee topped off a fabulous meal for 6 of us!

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.
