- KMKathyMAustin •2 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoThe service at Perry’s on Sunday evening was exceptional! When my husband mentioned that it was our anniversary, our waitress brought rose petals and said she’d do everything in her power to make our experience wonderful. She did that and more! Highly recommend Perry’s, and as a bonus, on the way out of the restaurant, no less than 4 different servers thanked us for coming. Will definitely come back!More infoPerry's Steakhouse & Grille - Downtown Austin$$$$• Steakhouse• Downtown•4.7

- OTOpenTable DinervipAustin •4 reviews5.0Dined on Jan 2, 2023Food is so good. We sat at a four top in the bar area? Which was a little strange since I made reservations over two months ago. Whatever- food and service were top notch. I had the 30 day aged filet and gnocchi. Best steak in the city. Meatballs were just ok - bread was amazing and the table lived the bone marrow.More infoRed Ash Italia$$$$• Italian• Downtown•4.9
