    We had a terrific experience. It was my husband's birthday and for dessert he was presented a delicious sorbet with a candle and fortunately he was so full from a delicious dinner that I got to eat almost all of the sorbet! I highly recommend Perso. We ordered multiple dishes and shared them all which is always fun when the food is good;) My suggestions would be to add a vegan dish to the menu. Yummy!!

    Straciatella appetizer w flatbread was delish. Fish appetizer yummy. Husband enjoyed his $90 steak. My $45 monkfish had a funky extra-fishy flavor & I only ate a few bites. Dirty martini is served w Kalamata olive juice & meh. Overall an ok experience but for the price tag, there are many other places I’d choose for quality cocktails & upscale entrees.

    A few of the dishes really knocked it out of the park, most were OK. Price point was a little high for the flavor profile of the food. There was a very long wait between courses and it was quite loud. Otherwise it was a good experience and i would consider coming back and ordering ala carte

    My girlfriend and I made a reservation at Perso and we decided to go all out and get the Chefs Table Experience. All I can say is, wow. I definitely recommend it if you’ve never been. We got an Old Fashioned and an Espresso Martini as well and they were definitely the best I’ve had. Our waitress was very kind and informative since it was our first time there. Cannot recommend this place enough. It was a great way to celebrate our anniversary!

    I've eaten at this restaurant twice in the last 4 months and both meals have been the best I have had anywhere in years, maybe 10 years or more. I wish I was extremely wealthy, so I could go back there more often. I have eaten the sweet mustard pork appetizer, the monkfish in shrimp bisque, the duck, the salmon, the vegetarian pasta, and the panna cotta dessert. All totally fabulous!

    It was our first experience at Perso, and it won't be our last. There were four of us, for a 2 person birthday celebration. It was low keyed and perfect. Food, as well as service was more than we expected. We will go back, soon!
