    This was our first visit to Perla, but we'll definitely be back! Our server Zach helped us choose from the menu items (so many things sounded good). Everything we ordered, from oysters to green salad to the fresh fish (OMG the seabass!) was amazing! I'm already looking forward to our next visit. Thanks Perla - see you soon!
