    The 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!

    All 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!

    Their goat cheese salad is amazing. The angel food cake isn't that soft and the cod had a strong beet dashi flavor. #restaurantweek #dinner @perillanyc

    Delicious! 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.

    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).

    The 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.
