    This was my second time in Chicago and my second visit to this Gibson's location. It was a Saturday night so it was packed and the ambiance was very energetic. It was loud, as expected, but it was not annoyingly loud. The food was outstanding, everything from the salads to the dessert. The hustle and bustle of the wait staff was constant. My only, I won't even calling a complaint, I will say my annoyance with the evening was the way I felt rushed by the gentleman who put the bread plates out and cleared cups and dishes. We weren't even done with our salads or dinners or dessert and he was asking to clear the plates. For what I paid for those dinners I was not going to let him throw any of it away. I felt as soon as we sat down he was throwing bread plates in front of us, literally throwing. I had wine left and he took my glass away. I understand that tables need to be turned over but it's not like we were done and paid for and just sitting wasting time. We were still eating and drinking. I was meeting my family who drove 300 miles to meet us in Chicago to watch my son in a sports tournament. We wanted to enjoy our evening for a few hours together. Overall it was a fantastic evening and we will definitely go back next time we're in Chicago, but it's the little things like that that can ruin a celebratory dinner.

    Our first visit to Perry’s was truly memorable. Andrew, our waiter, was incredibly helpful and so patient with us throughout the evening. We were there to celebrate my husband’s birthday, and the experience made it even more special. The food was absolutely delicious, and it warmed our hearts. We’re definitely looking forward to coming back again.
