Perry's Cocktail Bar

Hoe...lee...cow...This place is I moved to Puyallup recently, and I'm from much bigger cities with, let's face it, much better food scenes. Not only are their staff the typical friendly and awesome often associated with the industry staff out here, but their food is awesome! The atmosphere is vibrant and comforting at the same time and honestly just really fun to look at. My first time going I planned ahead and picked an appetizer (the Beet Salad), an entrée (the Gnocchi with Butternut Squash), and a dessert (the Olive Oil Cake) with drink pairings (in order: the Bouchard Aine & Fils Pinot Noir, the Chai Vanilla Old Fashioned, and the Taylor Fladgate 20 Year Tawny Port) I chose myself. Let me tell you the descriptions on the menu can't possibly do it justice. My brain forever wants that gnocchi now..ALL... THE... TIME... I also just went for happy hour yesterday. I'd had a stressful day, and THIS WAS THE CURE. I ordered a glass of Ar Guentota Malbec and the Baked Brie with Wild Huckleberry Preserves. And, of course, a restaurant would be nothing without amazing staff! I've been assisted by a few of those (often) unsung heroes, Sam, the bartender, and two wonderful servers, Ashley and Claire...and then.. the back of the house but STARS of the show, Chef Luis and Sous Chef Chase.. Clearly the ownership knew what the heck they were doing putting together a team like this. Perry's has been an oasis for me, as somewhat of a foodie. They set the standard here in Puyallup, and I actually think they're going to change the food industry here. If you don't believe me, TAKE A LOOK AT THESE PHOTOS!!!

A beautiful, relaxing place to celebrate, having a special night with a loved one, enjoying company with longtime friends, a way to treat yourself, or a place for new beginnings. The ambiance is sophisticated but simple and classy. The food is amazing, I had their special that night, a salmon and risotto with wild mushrooms that was so delicious. They have a fantastic bar with knowledgeable and talented bartenders. I can no longer drink due to health reasons, but they have some signature mocktails for those who want to still enjoy drinks with friends that so delicious that you sip to savor them like a proper coctail, rather than the overpiced juice that you get at some restaurants. Service was outstanding. Involved making sure you have a wonderful time, without being overbearing. The menu is varied but not a book. So there's variety on the menu, but each piece is done with excellence. It's lovely to have a place like this is Puyallup. Where everything is very casual and neighborly, but when you want to spark things up and have special place that still has that caring neighborly feel. This is it. No need to drive all the way to Seattle, struggle in traffic, then parking, and pay for a meal that you hope is qualified to be fine dining and not just paying that price because the restaurant is in Seattle.

Perry’s was the perfect dining experience. The cocktails were incredible; my wife and I had the Spring Fling and Born a Star which were smooth, strong and flavorful. The food…wow, I had the fish market special which was cod on a bed of risotto topped with a mango salsa. It was simply orgasmic as was the crab and artichoke dip. Finally, our server Franky was such a wonderful person and a kind soul who made our evening that much better. I’d give more stars if I could, but I can’t so I’ll have to settle for another visit. Thanks again to the entire staff!
