    We are fans of Mot Hai Ba and Pillar is the creation of the same owner chef, however, Pillar is not Vietnamese. The similarities are in the use of diverse subtle flavors that linger. Our starter the hamachi and apple was a great example. The agnolotti was perfect and will be particularly welcome on a cold night. Only complaint is it is a little loud, like most contemporary restaurants today. Maybe turn down the music a little. Overall a great experience and we will return.

    Fantastic experience. Apps were great. Ordered the pastas for dinner and felt they were good, but great. Dessert was great, a bit pricey at $15, but a nice treat. Drinks were amazing- smoked old fashioned and the blood orange margarita!

    Our experience at Perry’s is always amazing and the server provided world class service to us. We had the upper cut ribeye with mashed potatoes and grilled veggies. The chef made our daughter some delicious angle hair pasta with chicken Alfredo sauce. We was celebrating my husband’s 50th Birthday. Of course I always enjoy the Martini flights and my husband had a Manhattan and our daughter had the raspberry soda made in house. We had the raspberry cheesecake and when I say it was delicious. The manager came by to see how everything was going for us. Thank you Perry’s for an amazing lunch.
