   Perle Mesta is where you go when you want to feel fancy fancy. The experience was absolutely top tier, and Chef Black? That man thinks of EVERYTHING. From the perfectly plated dishes to the surprise anniversary letter, I half-expected him to show up and personally sing “Happy Anniversary” to us. The food wasn’t just delicious; it was so beautiful I had to pause and ask myself if I was cool enough to eat it. Spoiler: I’m not, but I did anyway. Now, this isn’t your “let’s grab dinner because we forgot to thaw the chicken” kind of spot—this is where you go to celebrate life’s BIG wins. Worth every penny. Chef Black, you’ve officially set the bar so high, my regular Tuesday night tacos are offended.

   While I acknowledge the intention behind the event, the execution was utterly unacceptable. First and foremost, the seating was highly uncomfortable and entirely unsuitable for families. The menu was riddled with issues, particularly the unbalanced spice levels that lacked flavor. Service was chaotic and disorganized, with multiple items unavailable or served incorrectly. To make matters worse, there were no pies for our Thanksgiving meal, which is unacceptable. Instead, we were presented with leftover desserts from other restaurants, like three pathetic macaroons and ice cream. The turkey was so bland that we had to send it back, and the pork was inedible, resulting in us returning it after just one bite. The only redeeming aspects were the deviled eggs and, to a lesser extent, the shrimp and grits, though there was an excessive amount of grits compared to the shrimp. The cornbread was bone dry and desperately needed more butter and proper heating. Overall, this event was a total failure in execution. I would strongly advise against returning and recommend seeking dining experiences elsewhere. This restaurant lacked the necessary thought and preparation. Even the tea was absent—I had to settle for chamomile with no bread and bland Rotis - someone's grandmother is shaking her head right now. Chef Black, you completely missed the mark on this one; from poor hosting, to disjointed menu and service… I mean we had to send four plates back and vehemently denied to-go plates... this isn't Perle Mesta - this is just a “Red Mess” (Get It!)- maybe the $100 bottles of H20 have ballooned your grandiose imaginations, but this is a nightmare… It’s time to make significant improvements and get a new set of consultants to assist you - a set of fresh eyes boss- you got this - you are better than this chef.

   It was an awesome restaurant. We enjoyed thanksgiving dinner there. Turkey was very tasty and our server, Landon, provided a great service. We loved whole vibes of the restaurant and the hotel.

   Where do I start! It was a cool & brisk Thanksgiving night. But not just any Thanksgiving- it was my wedding day! We celebrated our marriage by having dinner at this fine restaurant! Jason- Jason WAS PHENOMENAL! I can write a book on his service & warmth! He even set it up for us to meet the CHEF!! It was an honor to meet the CHEF! thank you both soooo much for ending my night with such beautiful blessings and honors!! This will forever be in our hearts

   Service was very slow. Our salad came long after we were seated and placed our order. We then had a 45 minute wait between the salad and entree course, having to ask about the status of our order. Our entree finally came an hour and a half after our reserved time.

   James Beard award chef restaurant didn’t meet up to the standards. This is just a perception to get foodies to try the restaurant. Here are the positives and negatives. Positives :1. Very accommodating to modify my reservation 2. Decent price point but not with the value Negatives: .1hotel vibe restaurant- nothing special ( this is not owned by Hilton ) 2. Took 2 hours for main entree to be served ( reservation 830) had oysters and ordered fish with ink pasta ( VERY salty ) 3. We were still hungry and had Taco Bell on the way home if this tells you anything . Don’t try!!!

   We were there the night of Nov 22nd and the service was TERRIBLE! Food was excellent and the ambiance was beautiful. But the service was the worse I’ve had in a while. Took server 20 mins to even come greet us. 1.5 hour for us to get any food. But once we did get food on the table it was amazing.

   I recently dined at Perle Mesta and, while the experience had its moments, overall, it fell short of expectations. The standout of the evening was the butter beans—cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor. However, the rest of the food was underwhelming. While not terrible, most dishes lacked the spark that would make me want to return. To make matters worse, the food was cold by the time it reached our table, which significantly impacted the experience. The timing was a major issue. We were seated promptly at 6:30, but the food didn’t arrive until 9:45-an over three-hour wait that felt endless. It was especially frustrating as we were only checked on three times throughout the entire evening, leaving us feeling forgotten. While the ambiance was pleasant and the butter beans memorable, the service and overall execution need serious improvement. Until these issues are addressed, I would hesitate to recommend Perle Mesta for a satisfying dining experience

    SUPERB! Excellent presentations. The Taster F5 Kobe beef, bay scallops, the Radicchio Ceaser Salad and an Entree of Citrus Fennel dusted scallops were savory, aromatic, delightfully sensual. Absolute attention to detail. Looking forward to exploring Perle Mesta again soon!
