KAMJune 11, 2013The spicy duck meatballs were yummy, the belly pork and skirt steak were great, but the side of Farrow Risotto was truly an amazing dish that stole the show! I want a full portion of that next time!

New York HabitatOctober 26, 2011All you need to know here - spicy duck meatballs. It's the signature dish and paired with the quail egg yoke is a wonderful combination. Don't expect to get in without reservations, it's often busy!
Jenn WallDecember 18, 2013Best meal of my life... and trust me I've eaten enough to know! Duck meatballs are fantastic. Go with the Albillo for wine. Will definitely be back here soon.
Margarita KrupSeptember 11, 2014Delicious food! Spicy duck meatballs (we ordered servings), fluke, gnocchi, roasted tilefish, ravioli, duck burger, duck breast. All amazing!

Chan TimaMarch 8, 2012Delicious! Get something for every course! It's worth it. Healthy portions may keep you from getting dessert. Be smart, doggy bag it and try some of the amazing dessert too.
chris phillipsJanuary 5, 2013Spicy duck meatballs are a must. Arctic char had a great crispy skin and was well seasoned.
Dee🌴March 28, 2013Start with the duck meatballs and crispy calamari. Amazing. Hangar steak was perfect. Pork belly is their signature and was on par.
Solid brunch spot. Love that they give you complimentary tiny muffins. Get a fresh OJ and the hash and eggs.

One of my favorite restaurants in New York. Their brunch is incredible, especially their French toast with seasonal fruit and the grits.

Debra SchwartzJuly 26, 2015Duck meatballs were a standout. Def gets some sides with the mains. All very tasty.
Ryan AmbsMay 25, 2015Flank steak was really good and very filling. Blueberry cheesecake sundae was great. Duck meatballs just okay.
Mariann NagyDecember 12, 2012This place is amazing! Try the spivey duck meatballs, the steak and the apple panacotta. They are to die for.
Duck meatballs, pork belly, and any carpaccio/sashimi never disappoint. The fall vegetable salad is great. Speck-wrapped chicken and the lamb tasting are some of the best entrees (and filling).
Adrienne LiuJuly 28, 2014Get the spicy duck meatballs and the tofu! The tofu is actually unbelievably good
bennsu .August 14, 2014The steamed mussels topped with ham, fennel and garlic bread crumbs. Excellent.
The duck meatballs are the best appetizer anywhere. They keep us coming back, don't miss them.
Amanda KopmanMay 27, 2011Oh hi duck meatballs. You were my newest fav....then I tried the almond gnocchi. This is the kind of food that could change your life.
Matt SzenicsJuly 1, 2012Top notch Brunching happens here. Try the duck burger, an don't forget the fresh squeezed juice.
Lucy FancourtAugust 31, 2013Delicious!! Took the waitress' advice and got grits and calamari salad - both totally amazing! :)
IrmaZandl ZandlSlantMay 7, 2015Food is good not spectacular. Convenient if at Film forum or IFC center. Otherwise would give a pass.
Jamie, who runs front of house, is the best. Ask for her recommendations. Better yet, have her order for you.
BravoNovember 12, 2010Top Chef hearld says "Try the duck burger…its dirty." That means really, really good. -Seth Caro, Top Chef Just Desserts

Brittany BirdsongFebruary 23, 2011Amazing ! Favorite restaurant in nyc we've been to. Try the duck breast and hangar steak. Both are bomb.
Newly added Brussels Sprouts leaves with nuts, cranberries are outstanding
Zamreen EbrahimSeptember 20, 2012The duck meatballs and chocolate souffle are both to die for! Mmm...- Try the new Tunisian. Perilla' best chicken preparation yet.
Pueblo Viejo TequilaDecember 22, 2016Christmas colors are reflected in the cocktails mixed with Pueblo Viejo Blanco at Perrilla.
Anna PakmanFebruary 13, 2011Spicy duck meatballs, carrot soup, salad all amazing. Crispy lamb neck=worst.dish.ever oversalted much?- Make room for some Cabot cheese at the end of your meal. Perfect.
MazdaNovember 22, 2010The Perilla plant is a relative of mint and basil but has a strong anise-like flavor. Primarily used in Asian cooking, Perilla is most commonly known as Shiso.
Claudine CoDecember 12, 2009The Perilla 75 is a wonderful cocktail that's a great way to start your night. The bit of herbaceous shisho on top gives depth and delight.

"Solid spot for quality craft beer on tap with a huge selection. You can keep track of the beers you've tried; just ask the bartenders and you can create your own card for when you come back!"
Andrew Choi - 9.0
"One of my favourite bars / speakeasies in NYC, lively ambience. Solid cocktails. The evening I was there a band was tucked into a corner complementing and not dominating the ambience!"
