    I went w 3 kids after a visit to CAMP. We had the chocolate fondue and the kids had so much fun. My picky eater got the Mac and cheese which was also delicious. Our server was so helpful to suggest things to make our experience there memorable. My niece said she wants to come back every time she goes to the city! Thank you!

    The Perry Club is an absolute gem! From the moment you walk in, Brandon, the owner, greets you with such genuine excitement—it feels like you’re being welcomed by an old friend, even if it’s your first visit. The food is absolutely amazing—I can’t recommend the pasta with meatballs and the pizza enough! The restaurant has such a fun, vibrant atmosphere that makes the whole experience unforgettable. My friends and I had an incredible time, and I can’t wait to go back. Highly recommend!
