Go for Dinner (vs Brunch)
Overview
I had an amazing dinner there sitting on the outside patio. My friend is a vegetarian, so we shared small plates of veggies and I had the scallop appetizer, all which were great.
I had brunch there recently and I was not as impressed. The smoked salmon was in a red sauce and very spicy, a bit much for brunch and the omelette was average.
I would recommend it for dinner and am hoping they go back to the basics for brunch!
Haven't had one bad thing...
Overview
I have been to Perennial Virant a handful (well a large handful) of times since it opened. The menu is ever changing and I have had the entire menu for the past month or so and I can't find one dish that disappoints. Paul Virant came in and really created a special combination of elegance and neighborhood feel. It is a place to go to celebrate as well as meet some friends and sit on the patio for a casual night.
Pig Face and Trout
Overview
Had a great dinner at Perennial Virant, it was hard to believe this place just opened! The new decor, food and drink menus were amazing, and the service was attentive and ran smoothly.
I am a big fan of Boka Group to begin with and Paul Virant is a great addition to the team. The trout was a favorite, as was the pig face (although not on the menu yet it should be)! The chicken sausage was another favorite at the table.
