    We celebrated my husband's birthday on New Year's Day with dinner at Perry's. It was our first time dining at this restaurant and we will be putting it on our rotation from now on. He had the pork chop, which they described as "7-fingers thick", having ribs and loin in one piece. I had a filet mignon, and we shared generous sides of mushrooms and au gratin potatoes. Everything was absolutely delicious.

    We were celebrating my boyfriend’s birthday and could not have had a better experience. David, our server was top notch. His friendliness, personality, knowledge of the menu, care for detail, and attention was absolutely superb. We started with the deviled eggs and scallops. Some of the best deviled eggs we’ve had, highly recommend. I had the fresh catch and my boyfriend had the bone in dry aged ribeye. Both were delectable. Cooked perfectly and the flavors melted in our mouths. Living in Vegas for 20 years, I’ve had the pleasure of wonderful restaurants. Oak stands out among the best. I have to say their entire staff was so accommodating and genuine. It was a perfect evening.

    Been going here for 4+ years and the menu has always had great options for all. We leaned heavily on delicious vegan/vegetarian options which they scaled way back on (unfortunately).
