    Our waiter was amazing - forgot his name but he’s been there for 3.5 years and has a birthmark on his face. Very personable and knows the menu well. Love going there for date night and happy hour

    Perla’s is an absolute favorite in our family! We came to celebrate my birthday and it was the first time we brought our almost 2 yr old and he had the best time. The staff were exceptionally attentive to him including bringing him a little tasting plate. The food was fantastic per usual (oysters, crab florentine, biscuits, shrimp and grits, and the lobster frittata, and a grilled cheese + fries for our little one). Thank you to the Perla’s team for making it the perfect day!
