Perry's Novato

Service was outstanding, our waiter was awesome and very attentive. Got drinks, apps, salad and entrees. Salad and entrees were good but the calamari and other app were not so good, hence the 4 star rating.

Atmosphere was great, you can dress up or dress casual no problem. Was friendly for kids and plenty of room without a reservation (though I did make one in case). Nice bar and the bartender was super friendly.

Great atmosphere, very warm and inviting. Good for casual dining, business dining or first date… Dress up or down.

SAUTEED PETRALE SOLE MEUNIERE**** absolutely amazing! So delicate and flavorful, I strongly recommend this dish if you like fish.

I would have given 5 stars but the Calamari was over cooked. Very rubbery and way too crispy.

Went here for double bday party was large. The waiter was accurate and fast with drink refills, and my plate oh my god! Was so huge (1/2 stack of ribs ) had to get a doggy bag for sure. Meat was tender and the bones fell of at ease. Sauce was more on mesquite side but had a tangy sweet mixed made it perfect. Then dessert came two cakes kne chocolate mocha caramelized, and red velvet cake absolutely every bite was bit of heaven closing your eyes as it hits your taste buds. I recommend this place to first date.

Massive portions of really good food! One salad is enough for 3-4 people to share as a side salad. My mother and I shared a salad and a hamburger and it was way too much food, lol. We had the Magnolia salad, with apples, walnuts, and blue cheese, and the dressing was so delicious! The hamburger was also really good. My brother had a huge pile of baby back ribs, also delicious. Perry's may be our new go-to spot.

I went in with the fam for a week day dinner and to see the new restaurant. it used to be Wildfox which was a nice & decent place to take the family for a good meal. It was even a decent date place too.

When we went in it was pretty busy. Lots of people, lots of noise. I understand that as it is a new place and everyone and their mama is curious so no big deal there. The look is clean, simple with accents of bay area culture and their own history which is a cool touch. Anyone can walk in and feel comfortable. Not too stuffy, definitely not a dive. Hardwood floors and open spaces so the noise really accumulates. It's even so noisy that if you call in to make a reservation you cant even have a conversation with the host/hostess due to the noise level.

The nice thing is that the food is good. Pretty generous portions (your definitely not leaving hungry) and the pricing is in-line with portions, quality, etc. My only gripe is the fried chicken was a little dry but not the end of the world. We got calamari as an app and it was delicious. All 4 of us really liked it. Breading was right and it wasn't soggy which is one of my pet peeves.

One thing that struck me as odd (really odd actually) is that there was a large table of older folks not far from us and one of them had a medical emergency that required the Novato FD to show up and cart this person out. Emergencies happen and that's just the human condition. What I thought was odd in this case was that their party just remained for a while and talked amongst themselves after NPD carted their friend out. :-0 Hopefully that person is OK.

Anyways, swing by, check it out, have a drink (bar looks decently stocked BTW) and enjoy with friends & family. If you happen to be in the company of Friends & Family just be sure they are the ones to meet you at the hospital after they finish their meals & drinks lol.
