What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Perry's Porch is celebrated for its stunning waterfront ambiance and attentive service, creating a delightful dining experience. Diners rave about unique appetizers like the Trufflekopita and Crispy Artichokes, though some note that the main courses can be average. While the location and vibe are consistently praised, occasional service inconsistencies and limited seating can be drawbacks.
"I enjoyed this place! Small menu but there's something for everyone. The cocktail list had a nice variety. Plenty of outside dining but inside dining seemed small but cozy. Our server was very knowledgeable. We had the charcuterie board which had a nice variety of meats and cheese. Burrata salad was nice and fresh, bibb and frisee salad with blackened shrimp, crumbled chorizo, almonds and green goddess dressing was my favorite! Pigs in a blanket, delicious, with spicy mustard, a must try! Snapper was cooked perfectly and the side dishes, bean succotash and salt and vinegar french fries were beautifully seasoned!"

"Tried to make a reservation online, however there was nothing available. We then walked up and fortunately we were able to get a table for four right away and were seated out on the porch.
Our waiter Eric was great. He was attentive, knowledgeable, and friendly.
At Eric’s suggestion I got the pink street margarita to drink and it was excellent! Very refreshing against the warm evening.
To start I got the burrata salad and it was delicious! The portion was relatively big and perfect to share between two or three!
For main entree I got the snapper. It was perfectly cooked. The flavor was mild, but very delicious and well seasoned.
Would definitely return again."

"I booked a reservation for 11am on a Friday for 4 of us. You can arrive early but they won’t seat anyone for lunch until it’s 11. The girls at the check in were very kind and accommodating with a high chair and kids menu for my grandson. Our server kept disappearing. We were ready to order and she left to do something else first. We had to ask for refills. The food was served quickly and was delicious! I loved the vibe of the restaurant. You could sit outside in the patio hit we chose indoor due to the heat and the decor was neat. I liked the coffee bar area. The menu had a nice variety and the prices were not unreasonable. They take your payment right at the table which I really like. It was a great lunch and put us next to the Glazier Children’s park for the fountains to play in."
