Perry’s Steakhouse

July 18, 2009 |  As I mentioned in the last entry, we had a birthday dinner to attend after the BBQ lunch for Bill’s birthday.  For this occasion, we got dressed up and took a taxi to Perry’s Steakhouse.  I’d never been before and didn’t know what to expect, but I was impressed as we were lead to a private room that had previously been a bank vault.  Cool, huh?

We started with drinks as we waited for the rest of the party to arrive.  I had some sort of sweet martini, can’t really remember what exactly.  In any case, Marc and I decided to share a Beef Steak Tomato and Vidalia Onion Salad ($8.95), and a 12oz. Filet Perry Topped with Colossal Lump Crabmeat and herb garlic butter, with steamed asparagus ($42.95).

The steak might not look like much (both images are just my half), but by the time I got through with the salad, I had just enough room in my stomach to finish the main entree!  It ended up being just the right amount!

I also got a bite of Linda’s lobster– that is, her second one, haha.  Her first one ended up on the floor (gasp!) but they were nice enough to give her a second one out of the shell!

Beautiful, isn’t it?  =)   I also got to try Bill’s birthday dessert!  It was a combo of creme brulee, rich chocolate piece, and something else that I can’t remember, haha.  That creme brulee was delicious though!!

The price was reasonable for the occasion and food, though I probably won’t be returning any time too soon since it’s still fairly expensive.  I think the coolest part of the dinner was still the part about being in a vault!
