Perry St has some of the best food in New York, presented casually in a sexy, minimalist setting in the Richard Meier towers. This is a beautiful place to take a date - go for the sunset - or to bring friends for a late-night cocktail in the lounge.
The crab dumplings are filled with subtle flavor, the crusted tuna is one of the best things I've eaten all year, and the lamb entree is PERFECTLY cooked each time. Our servers were professional and friendly throughout. To top it off, the cocktails are fantastic - bet you can't drink just one vodka thyme lemonade.
Perry St is sophisticated and sublime - if you're a serious foodie then check it out. It's like a baby version of Jean-Georges' 4 star restaurant - it has the food and the service, set in a tiny West Village retreat.
Pros: fantastic food, great cocktails, sunset views

My friend and I decided to try and get a bite to eat at Perry Street at the last minute on Friday night. Luckily, I had not read these reviews, otherwise I might have been scared off! Contrary to others experiences, I found the hostess and bartender to be very nice. We were seated fairly quickly too! The atmosphere is terrific as you are right near the Hudson river. The food, while small in portions, is simple, yet flavorful. Overall, a good place for dinner with a friend without breaking the bank. Good date potential too!!

Very disappointing, the tuna was okay. The mayo sauce was very runny.
The beef was alright. Had much better in other places and for US$34 bucks it better be alright.
Chocolate pudding tasted like jello version. Only with some fancy violet touches. Not worth it.
Pros: Design
Cons: Food, Price

The staff at Perry Street is beyond rude on the phone. When we finally got a reservation, we assumed it would be packed since they are so unaccomodating. The restaurant was empty. And after a disappointing meal, there is a good chance it will stay that way. The location is ridiculous- who wants to eat on the West Side Highway? And the decor feels like an eighties hotel lobby. The food was unexplainably salty. The dumplings that everyone raves about were mushy and salty. I had to take them out of the broth to minimize the salt sinking in further. Nothing seemed right; none of the entrees we tried tasted good. Even the dessert was a let down. If Perry Street is going to keep up the allure of exclusive, I guess they better continue being rude on the phone.
Cons: Too many tourists, Unappealing entrees, Boring atmosphere

Sorry but I do not know who all these food critics are who are lovin' this food. They must have eaten at a different place than the one they described. Their famed rice cracker crusted tuna was greasy and you could taste the oilness. It didn't help that it came with a mayo sauce either. I had the fish. The "presentation" was the fish was placed on the right side of plate and little bity tomatoes on the left. The waiter poured what looked like Campbell's tomato soup on top of it. My dish looked totally nasty, gross and unappetizing. My friend had the beef which had the same weak "presentation". The only good thing about eating there is the place is beautiful and serene.
Pros: Wonderful design
Cons: Awful food, Overpriced

This space has so much potential. The food is wonderful and the location and space is wonderful. But the interior is so sparse and white with no aesthetic direction, and the lighting after dark is so poor and subdued (not romantically candlelit) that my friend looked about 20 years older under the lights -- not the ideal lighting design. That being said, everything we ordered was melt in your mouth delicious - from sushi appetizer, to the fish, to the amazing chocolate dessert, Jean George did not dissapoint. It is very unfortunate that the the interior ambiance is not as complimentary and inviting as the menu.
Pros: Delicious Food, Divine Menu
Cons: Unflattering Lighting, Lacking Decor

I was underwhelmed by the food at Perry St. Where's the flavor? I had the cod with fennel puree and at best it was mediocre. Also tried my friend's rabbit. It was only slightly better. Also, the service was overly "present". The waiter was conspicuously eyeing our table the entire meal and there was a lot of scurrying by the wait staff in general. Kind of annoying when you are trying to have a relaxing dinner. We will NOT be going back.
Pros: decor
Cons: boring food, a bit pretentious

"Minimal in style, complex in taste" says it well. Genuine quality threads through everything from the service to the ingredients to the wares. (Example A: The hostess really seems authentically friendly. Example B: The water glasses are Riedel.) The view of the West End over the Hudson and the minimalist decor really allow the most simple pleasures to burst through. For a leisurely 3 hour lunch, I am unsure how to describe the loveliness of... bread... salt... tomatoes... mozzarella... chamomile citron tea... and a nibble of a good girlfriend's candied violets on the dessert. Sometimes less really is more.
Pros: Atmosphere & Decor, Genuine Quality, Ingredients
Cons: a bit out of the way, which is a pro!

Jean-George has opened a sleek, minimalist restaurant in the lobby of the glass Perry Street Towers (he lives above as do other celebrities like Martha Stewart, Calvin Klein and Nicole Kidman).
The restaurant is located in a cool section of the West Village, on the West Side highway.
The bar is nice and an elegant place to meet someone for a drink.
The emphasis is on high quality and small portions but the food is great.
