Restaurants near East Lake Park

Natalie and her team at Perry’s in Birmingham are the picture of professionalism. Welcoming. Attentive. Responsive. And the food is only surpassed by the service. Definitely our special occasion place, but also a regular stop for a good weeknight meal or Friday lunch.

What made our evening so much fun was our waiter, Brian. (I hope that is how his name is spelled) He was very knowledgeable about wines plus told us interesting facts about what made some of their wines so good. The food was fantastic as always. The garlic truffle bread is amazing!

Although we had reservations they were able to sit us earlier on a busy Saturday evening. Our waitress kindly explained the menu since it was our first time. She then made some recommendations of her favorites. We actually ordered what she suggested and it was perfect. The ambiance of the restaurant was great and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves

Our first time there and, yes, it’s expensive but it WOW it was an exceptional meal. Service was personal and attentive, really great. Steaks were some of the best we’ve had out and one in our party said the black cod was best they’ve had. It was fairly loud in there, but everyone was having a great time. If you want quiet, probably not for you. If you want a happening spot with amazing food and service, definitely give them a shot. We’ll be back!

The food was excellent. The quality of the drinks was also very good. Entree prices are reasonable but drinks are expensive, although probably no more so than at other similar restaurants. They have to make money somewhere. The service was a bit uneven. The server was personable but several food items were either not ordered or were just not delivered to the table in a timely manner. Appetizers and salads came out well after the entrees. Overall, my guests and I enjoyed our experience. The side room was a bit noisy. I think the main room adjacent to the bar would have been better.
