Chris Pollone: The fried clams and lobster sandwich might be one of the best dishes in the city. Clam spaghetti was very good as well.
Tasting Table: The restaurant's soft lighting, reflect off a gorgeous arched tiled ceiling, as you twirl strands of linguine studded with tomato sauce and clams ($21). Try their awesome appetizers too. Read more.
Noah Weiss: Brunch is great. Get the poached eggs with peekytoe crab over fresh biscuits. Bonus: takes reservations.

Josiah David Chapman: Dino was an amazing host! The vino was supherb, the cappuccinos were on point, the seabass was unreal (and served whole and portioned table side), and the caprese was fresh and perfectly seasoned.

Nicolette Romero: The mushroom truffle fettuccine is to die for. Make sure to get a table in the adorable garden.
Tim Vetter: Try the restaurant where Lady Gaga, just barely pre-fame, worked as a waitress. (The staff famously made her cry)
Rewan Parti: Sit in the back garden, order the calamari with mint leaves and cauliflower appetizer. Along with spinach and buffalo cheese ravioli! Do try the tiramisu.

Susan J Campbell: The fig salad was delicious. The crusted ahi tuna ordered double with a side of broccoli was plenty for dinner, absolutely delicious and not spicy (yay!)
Cooking Channel: Fried chicken at Perry St is the ultimate example of our favorite fried chicken taken across the globe. - Jeffrey Saad, United Tastes of America
Bin Yang: Get the fried chicken! A tad spicy, super juicy, and lightly crispy

eFlirt Expert: A date spot with ambiance. If its nice out, ask for seating in the garden. If it's happy hour, take advantage of $6 craft cocktails and $1 oysters (aphrodisiacs!).
Mary Kronkowski: Jenn. Is. Awesome! She will set you up solidly, indeed.
Jamie Warner: Waygu beef hash...pair with a Sriracha Bloody Mary (Ho Chi Mary)...unreal!

Alexandra Ma: Everything was great here. Try all the appetizers: the caramelized cauliflower and burrata were particularly good.
Lindsay Kaplan: And on the fifth day, God said, "Let there be maple brussels sprouts." And it was good.
Hungry Domaine ~: Frank Crispo- a true gentleman in the Restaurant Biz. He built the joint with his own hands and the food is delicious

Emilie Futterman: Known for oysters, but you can't go wrong with anything you order here. Unbelievable fries, fab lobster spaghetti, and yummy salmon riette. Music got me dancing in the bathroom.
Jared Milano: The bathroom is one of the best I've seen.. if you come on a date and want to ditch, just go to the "WC" and climb up the ladder and out the window.
Ghostly International: Stumptown Coffee for $1, can't be beat. If you come for brunch, try the Sausage, Egg, and Cheese biscuit. Full size sausage patty, moist biscuit.

Chelsea So: Adorable restaurant, with great pizza. They open the doors when it's nice out - make sure you get a table outside or by the windows!
Luca DL: One of the top 5 best Italian pizza in town, if it's your first time here you should start with a Margherita Extra (with mozzarella di bufala) + Peroni or Moretti beer. Haters never had a real pizza.
The Cheeky Cockney: Brunch on weekends us amazing !!!

Emily Wilson: If you're here for dinner, caramelized cauliflower and steak tartare are awesome appetizers. The roasted chicken is a delicious main. The service is exceptional, trust your waiter's recommendations.
Foster Kamer: Sit by the window, look at the puppies in the pet store across the street. Ask them to cook you one.
Eater: Still in its youth, Joseph Leonard is already essential to the neighborhood. Gabe Stulman's tiny neighborhood spot puts out a great vibe and even better food. [Eater 38 Member] Read more.
