    One of our go-tos. Patio was energetic. Food was perfect. Service was a bit slow and out of order this time, but to be fair, they were SLAMMED and everyone was very friendly and gracious.

    We had a great time! This was my second time at Perla’s and the food always slaps. Our server was also great and kind. Food quality is always a 12/10 and definitely get the fresh oyster shooters - some of the best oysters I’ve ever had.
