    Thank you for the kind words and great tags! We’re so glad you enjoyed the food, ambiance, and service. We pour a 5-ounce glass, which is the industry standard. All of our bartenders are trained to use a measuring cup to ensure accuracy and consistency.

    Everything was fantastic, highly recommend! On a side note, probably not controlled by the restaurant, the valet was not so good. 
    PERL by Chef IPResponded on May 21, 2025
    Thank you for the great feedback and recommendation—we’re glad to hear you had a fantastic experience! Regarding the valet, we understand the frustration and want to note that it’s operated independently by the private event space on the fourth floor of our building. We’ll be sure to share your feedback with the appropriate team. Looking forward to welcoming you back!

    Our first time dining at PERL while visiting Miami for the weekend. Rigatoni pasta was delicious, paired with NY stripe - great flavors! We ordered charred broccoli but had to ask if it could be charred logger because it came out undercooked and a bit dry. Turned out good after the extra char and added more chilli oil. The A/C also had the restaurant very cold, which gets uncomfortable if you’re not layered. Nothing major, we will definitely be back in the future
    PERL by Chef IPResponded on May 21, 2025
    Thank you for dining with us during your visit to Miami and for sharing your thoughtful feedback. We're glad to hear you enjoyed the rigatoni and NY strip, and we appreciate your note about the broccoli—we’re always happy to make adjustments to ensure everything arrives to your liking. We’ve also noted your comment about the A/C and will keep that in mind for guest comfort. Looking forward to welcoming you back again soon.
