It's cute on the outside and inside, but you can't eat ambiance. We were told it would be 15 minutes before our table would be ready. What the waitress should have said was 45 minutes (because that's how long it actually took). Just as the waitress started to take our order, she would then start helping someone else (this happened several times). We were not served our drinks until just before the food was served. The food was bland and and the prosciutto was overcooked and rubbery. After the food was delivered, service stopped. We could no longer get refills on our drinks or get additional silverware. Once we managed to flag her down for the check, service resumed with with refills and silverware (doesn't help when we've already finished our meal). Getting the bill took forever as well, as did getting change. Summary: got there at 11:30; paid $30 for tap water, veggie hash and prosciutto omelet; and left at 1:30, still hungry and super-annoyed. My husband and I know when restaurants have their act together (as restaurant critiquing is a hobby of ours) and Persimmon did not. The only thing that could have made this experience worse is if I had found a hair in my food. My husband and I will not ever go back there. EVER.
Pros: Cute atmosphere, located near otehr cute shops
Cons: the food and service
