    Delicious appetizers and beautiful setting. Main meal a bit pricey for end result. I would return but consider sharing or just getting appetizer. Good service. Beautiful courtyard!

    I love visiting Perla’s! Our waitress was so nice and brought us a birthday dessert on the house for my boyfriend’s birthday. The crab grits were so good, love the food as always.
