    I had a 8 pm reservation and absolutely loved the entire experience from start to finish. The hostess sophia was amazing and so sweet. We sat in the garden and the outside was set and beautiful, with heaters. The manager Michael was also extremely accommodating. Our waiter Jett gave us quick service. The food was delicious. Overall a 10/10 experience and will definitely return soon.

    A visit to Pera on Madison Avenue never disappoints. First of all - there is absolute consistency here - in the food and service. And the prices are moderate - not crazy like so many mid town restaurants. Service - top notch. I often choose the Garden Salad with Chicken Brochette or a lamb dish. Either/or - the meat is tasty and tender. Great job Team Pera!

    Dinner at Sardi's is our after-theatre tradition, and our dinner last night reinforced why. We love the ambiance, the comfort of the seating, the ambiance (lively but you can actually have a conversation without straining to hear), and the delicious food. Best of all is the staff--so professional, attentive, and friendly. Can't wait to go back!
