We ate outside. All was great! It’s been our place to meet family for several years and will continue to be so! Thank you Perrys!
It was wonderful. We were celebrating a very important anniversary and you made it perfect. Thank you. We'll be back soon.
Wonderful service, great outdoor, bay view ambiance. Three great sandwiches and one southwestern chicken salad that was a bit bland. Overall, very enjoyable!
Great dinner! The outside dining area is nicely done. The french fries were amazing. Our server and then entire staff went out of their way to make us feel comfortable.
Great service, food and ambience and we could get our dog :) Great to be out again!
My friend and I had a salad, cup of soup, hot tea, Diet Coke and split dessert. This came to $60, which I think is high. Parking was more of a challenge due to restaurants outdoor seating on the street. It was lovely to be outdoors on a beautiful day, just had higher expectations on value of what was ordered.
Sitting right next to the street is tough... the motorcycles were out in full force. The view can’t be beat. Chicken strips are meh but the pot roast was nice.
Experience was ruined when the host pulled one of those, “you two can’t sit there because that table is reserved for a party of 4” but ended up sitting a couple down instead. We ended up sitting in the sun. It was uncomfortable but made the most of it. Our waitress Merry was great - I just didn’t care much for the dishonest host. Also as a vegetarian, I ordered the impossible burger. No one didn’t immediately know the base of the burger was discouraging. It tasted like the burger was cooked with the same meat oil.
It's always great at Perry's on the Embarcadero! Just can't wait to be able sit indoors 🙌
Very nice atmosphere and excellent food and service.
But I do miss Patty.
Enjoyed our evening under the stars and heat lamps, always reliable cocktails and onion soup, topped by sole and ribs. Delicious.
Always delicious and comfortable setting. Thanks!!!
Beautiful views on the front patio. Good food and friendly service
Got sat in the back alley so no bay view. It was also very cold with no heaters. Waiter was lacking personality and pretty much forgot about us after our food was served. He never asked if we wanted a second drink and we had to flag him down for the check when he walked by us several times clearly seeing that we were finished with our meal. The salads were disappointing- the beet salad was basically lettuce and dressing, very few actual beets. The southwestern chicken salad would have been great if the chicken wasn’t grossly over cooked. There was also literally one cherry tomato which was weird. The sweet potato fries were great, thank God we ordered those. Overall not a good experience, the Union street location was much more enjoyable.
Great job.. great customer service.
Perry’s menu and cuisine is excellent.
Perry’s needs to update Opentable about their hours. We had a reservation for 8pm and were told upon arrival that they close at 8pm but would seat us if we ordered quickly.
Poorly made food. Not great service
Attentive service and good food. We had a great time.
We had wonderful salad entrees, three different ones, the Southwest Salad, the Cobb Salad, and the Ceasar with Chicken. While two of these were spot on and fresh, the Ceasar salad's chicken was tough and dry, which was not eaten.
Other than this the appetizers of Potato Skins and Calamari were fine.
The Grgich Hills Chardonnay was spot on and delicious.
the waiter gets a special call out for racing around and waiting on many tables, yet still made it a point to check in on us....which we appreciated.
Beautiful view! Everyone was very nice an accommodating they even added a table for us! Definitely worth the wait!
I really like the location of the Perry’s.
Being able to sit outside and see the lights of the Bay Bridge and the activity on the street is do normal and refreshing.
The food is consistent. I had the calamari but wouldn’t order it again. It’s one of my favorites but not particularly special at Perry’s. I just enjoyed being there after months of restaurant shutdowns.
I’ll go back but order something else.
The service is attentive but not intrusive.
Good food, great value and fast service. Doesn't get any better!
Okay .Not great.
Exceptional customer service!!! Food was very good.
The move, outside, hasn't hurt the Perry's experience...nice to have the Bay Bridge Lights as kinetic entertainment...
The food was delicious, and it was nice to sit outside looking out at Bay Bridge
Simple classic brunch menu. Food was good. View fantastic. Will definitely come back.
Perrys is always our go to Brunch place. Food is always great. Happy to see that outdoor dining is open and everyone following the rules.
Super busy and wasn’t adequately staffed so there were a lot pauses between drinks and dirty dishes piling up on the table. Waitress was great considering.
Great outdoor dining space. You feel far from others, but still apart of a social dining experience. They have dining areas in the Embarcadero entrance side and on the Stuart entrance side. Have always loved the food (and the cocktails) at all Perry’s locations!!! And our service was fantastic. There was a 1 hr and 30 min time max currently due to COVID, but that is more than enough time!!
Excellent service. Good food and drinks at reasonable prices. Looking forward to returning.
Good food, good service, great location. Definitely recommend!
This might be the worst restaurant in SF. Ribs taste of plastic. Fries taste microwaved. Don't be fooled by the Google reviews. Stay away.
Great service as always and they’ve done a great job with their outdoor dining space. We were plenty warm! Food was great!
Given the circumstances of COVID, we were impressed with the responsiveness of the Perry's staff. The arrangement for outside dining was well thought out, providing each table adequate distance. The outdoor heaters, planters, and screens made it cozy, while making you feel safe. Diner was delicious. We has calamari, Ny Steak & Pot Roast, perfectly prepared, as well as dessert. The server was attentive and providing excellent options. I'd return.
Perry's is a go-to for casual, delicious food. Has a good variety of menu items so it's a great spot to take guests who have very different preferences. The service is great and they have a nice outdoor dining area facing the Bay.
Been here several times- it’s chill vibes, Tasty food & good drinks. And I may I just say thanks to the kitchen for ALWAYS serving piping hot food! Appreciate that!
To start, we got the tomato bisque which was really good so we were excited for our mains that sounded good. Our main meals looked and tasted like a TV dinner. Not worth the money or time.
Really wanted to enjoy it, been a long time not dining out due to covid but unfortunately, we were quite let down. Maybe other meals are good, but I don’t recommend.
Very nice lunch overlooking so many people walking along the Embarcadero.
Patty is the best bartender ever.
Thank you for the great review! We hope to see you again soon. Warmly, Margie B. Owner
Patty is the best bartender ever. It was so nice to see her for Mother's Day,
So glad you were open.
