If you've been following our blog for any amount of time, you know that we like to order whatever moves us...and that mostly we are moved by side dishes: potatoes and mac and cheese. Perry's was definitely a crowd pleaser.
To start, our waiter, Maurice, was top notch. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and enhanced our dining experience. We loved his service and really appreciated his attention to detail. Cheers to Maurice. If you find yourself at Perry's, please ask to be seated with him. I'm not kidding when I saw that he made dinner pleasant!
We began with Perry's Signature Fried Asparagus. You can see that it is topped with crab meat and Parmesan. I don't even really know how to describe this culinary treasure. The asparagus was tender, and paired with the crab meat, it was bliss. We highly recommend trying this appetizer.
From there, we moved on to the lobster bisque. This bisque had real lobster meat - always a plus, and was so rich it tasted buttery. Four stars!
Salads were next on the agenda. The Wedge and the Chopped Salad with Applewood Smoked Bacon were our choices. The Chopped salad may have had too much cheese - not even sure if that is a complaint. They were both good.
The Butternut Squash Puree was a pleasant surprise. The squash was sweet, but the crumb and bacon topping added savory to the mix. It was an accident that we even ended up with this dish, as we meant to try the potato puree. However, this side made my day. This dish is a must!
The mac and cheese is comprised of penne pasta in a Bechamel sauce, so it has a little bit of an eggy taste to it. The cheese is all on top, and they make sure it's browned and bubbling before they serve it up. This unique take on mac and cheese wasn't as heavy as some dishes can be. The nutmeg also offered a nice finish.
A cup of coffee and the praline cheesecake did us in. We were so full, I'm sure we didn't give the cheesecake proper attention. We were also distracted by the neighboring table's banana's foster light show. Wow!
All in all, we found Perry's to be an absolutely perfect dining experience.
A re-visit will definitely be in order.
