A truly delicious dining experience. We loved the meatballs and the pork belly starters and the skate (with pastrami) and the waygu steak for main courses. Desserts were also quite fine- we had chocolate cake...

This place is not nearly worth the price. I went with 2 girls who were so excited about the 'Top Chef' but were brought back down to earth after we ate the food and got the tab. The cod was contrived and the...

Was at Perilla last night. It was a great experience. The decor of the restaurant is quite beautiful; it is simple, not over the top. Reflects Harold's style. Staff extremely helpful and attentive. They...

To be honest, I had high hopes for this place. I'm a huge fan of the show, but more importantly an avid restaurant- goer, and the chance to sample some of Harold's creations was too good to pass up. The food...

I went to Perilla for dinner on a Friday night. When I got there, they had lost my reservation (9:30pm), but were very quick to help. We got a table for 2 in under 10 minutes. The waitress was very...

Was invited to Perilla by a new work colleague and - as I moved to NYC last month after 10 years in France - was unaware of the Top Chef backstory. Great space in the West Village with a decent sized bar and -...

Most of the reviews must be from fans of the show. If you go for a meal then you might be disappointed. It is not cheap either - a piece of plain chicken will set you back over $20. The place is drab - you...

I walked in a skeptic but walked out a fan. The service was welcoming and knowledgeable. The food was top shelf, for sure. We had the octopus and crab as well as the basic salad to start - all...

The winner of Top Chef certainly lives up to his reputation. Our meal was unbelievable and the service was impeccable. There were 6 of us in the party, so we got to taste alot of different dishes. Our...

Just dined at Perilla . What a great experience! Chef Harold Dieterle genuinely knows his stuff. His food would truly hold it's own against any of the top executive chefs in the city. Particulary that...

Okay, so my TV hasn't worked in years and so my only exposure to Top Chef has been the ads on the subway. And I have no idea who Harold Dieterle is. But, regardless, I am now a huge fan. Perilla is a...
