so so good

Perry Street was good from start to finish. It's a beautiful spot with a great view of the sunset on the Hudson River. The restaurant has a very modern feel with a geometric carpet and bare white dishes set with simple silverware and a little bowl of sea salt. The menu is lovely. We went for lunch during restaurant week, which is a great deal. They had wine specials with bottles for $22, which is unheard of in a restaurant of this caliber. The food gets high marks for presentation, but even higher marks for taste. The crispy crab was simply delicious as was the black cod. There were both bold and subtle flavors to the dishes, but nothing was overwhelming. Desserts were really good and the coffee foam on the cappuccino looked painted with expresso melting through it. Service was sublime and I will definitely go back!
Pros: So good so good so good
Cons: a bit expensive for the average bloke
