A true dining experience!
Friday, May 18, 2007
Me and my two friends decided to try Perry St for the first time after hearing a mutual friend rave about it. We arrived on time to our reservation at 8:00pm and the MaitreD was most professional, the hostess was super cute and engaging, not like other places where there are airheads at the door. since we were all together we sat down promptly, there was no wait at the door even though the place was packed. we sat in a cute corner table, cozy for us three, we could pretty much see everybody in the room, its spacious for a nyc restaurant were most tables are on top of each other, the server was warm and knowledgeable and you could tell she knew her food (possibly not an actress, he he) my friend who is really picky asked about everything and the waitress made everything sound great, when our food came , it was just as she had described it, we had the most amazing poached eggs with a little caviar and oh my god the tuna is beyond amazing. we men went for the meat so he had shortribs and I the lamb better than anything i've tasted in a long time. I don't think anything was salty at all. I think the dishes are well put together and really flavorful. the staff is cool and swift, not clumsy or apologetic. we give this a 10 if the rating counts. oh and get one of those funky homemade sodas if you are not an alcohol drinker...
Pros: the noise level, the comfortable seating, good,happy staff
Cons: only 2 bathrooms and the line to wait for them.
