poor food experience. Went to Perry"s for the first time, Friday Feb 10th, 2012, for dinner. The atmosphere is very pleasant. The decor is great, the piano player - combo was marvelous. The drinks were very good. Our server-waiter "Ari" was awsome. His attention to detail and personal vigilance were great and very much appreciated. However, the dinner entrees were sorely lacking. I ordered the Perry Fillet Special served with lump crab. The steak was over salty & slightly tough although it was medium as requested and the crab was over cooked & tasteless.. My spouse ordered the Tempura Lobster special, but it was not Tempura, it was some sort of Fish & Chip Batter not crispy at all. It was soggy and you could not taste the lobster over the batter flavor. We had spinach and asparagus as complements. The asparagus was under cooked and the spinach was overly salty, too much lemon as well a tasteless parmesan topping. We did tell our server, Ari, who was very apologetic and provided free deserts as compensation. My spouse had the Bread Pudding with Marshmallow topping, which was very good and I had Bananas Foster. Unfortunately, eating experience was destined to be less than desired. The Flambe Person, did not follow a known recipe but his own personal taste. As simple as it is to make (my hope they would not screw it up) he added far too much cinnamon which absorbed any created liquid into a thick sludge and masking any banana flavor. The hand rolled ice cream was good, but it was a huge ball which was too much and also predominated any other flavors.

My spouse and I like to try new restaurants but this is one chain that we will avoid in the future. Sadly, poor quality in the kitchen & oversight from management.
