"The staff here is friendly from the moment you enter the door. I had a delicious Negroni at the small front bar while waiting for the rest of my party. Once arrived, we were seated in a larger booth in the back of the room. The kitchen heat was palpable and when I our server whether the AC could be turned up, within minutes it had cooled off. Our server was knowledgeable, personable and very efficient. She knew all the ingredients and preparation of each of the dishes we inquired about. My friend has serious allergy issues and she was incredibly patient in helping him work through the menu to determine what dishes he could safely eat. The food was expertly prepared and presented. There was a grilled lamb tongue with beets hazelnut appetizer that both people who ordered raved about. I had the baby artichokes and arugula topped with shaved parmesan that was light and delicious. Another appetizer was a sort of pork croquette. My main course was the Dorade prepared with a chili sauce that was the perfect balance for the lightness of the fish. My husband had the hangar steak that he said was perfectly prepared. Overall, the food and service were top notch. I do believe the music is played far too loudly for the size of the space. I would definitely recommend Perla and would eat there again"
