    A great place to celebrate a special occasion. We picked J Carvers for my partner's bday dinner. They gave us a beautiful table with a signed card welcoming the guest of honor. The food was delicious, the service impeccable and we can't wait to go back.

    Ambiance is really nice. Simple wood furniture with nice lighting. We sat at the sushi counter and had an amazing time. We ordered a spicy tuna roll, two king salmon nigiri, a salmon hand roll, a yellowtail roll, and edamame. Cocktails are amazing. We ordered the red dragon and a birds of paradise. The birds of paradise was AMAZING. Our server was great as well. Overall a really nice experience.

    Perla’s food and service are always wonderful. Today’s server, Kristen, upped the bar. She was fantastic. It was a gorgeous day, so the deck was packed but we had a relaxed, easier to talk and to “take our time” lunch with an old friend in from out-of-town inside. Insanely yummy oyster po’boy. Love you Perla’s.
