My wife and I have been coming here for years, but this last visit compelled me to write this review. First off the food and vibe are usually amazing. I’ve always felt you could never go wrong eating here, honestly.

But the 3 star review is for a couple things from my latest visit.

First, not a huge deal overall, but they allowed us to reserve a space online outside, but outside was closed for a wedding. So we were put inside for my wife’s birthday, when we really love the outdoor area at Peerless. Again, not a huge deal, it’s just we didn’t find out until the day before. When asked why we could book it in the first place, they told us they weren’t sure. Benefit of the doubt says that it could just be their scheduling systems fault, technology is weird sometimes.

Second, while enjoying our meal, a couple was sat next to us with a very fluffy white dog. This dog did not look like a service dog, albeit they were well behaved. This feels like it’s against health code first of all. And my wife and I were not asked if we had allergies, which we do to certain breeds. This whole interaction felt a bit odd for an establishment as upscale as Peerless.

So, the whole latest experience definitely makes me reconsider enjoying my time here, considering I’m paying around $200 for a meal for 2. Probably just an isolated incident, but again it felt strange there was no acknowledgment of...

Probably the best oysters I've ever had. The food was delicious, we ordered many things off of the menu that were creative, attractively plated and very nicely prepared. Kudos to the chef, I would look forward to sampling more of your delicious creations in the future. Other positives were the cocktails, I had a Vespar that was very enjoyable, the wine list was well curated and after dinner we enjoyed some lovely tea. The food and drinks were great, and I recommend them. Our server was professional, they were in no hurry which suited our celebratory meal perfectly. We were by no means lingering, simply moving at the pace that our server took things. All this would have been great, until the other staff began vacuuming while we ate our desert and drank our tea. It was unprofessional at any price point, but our bill was over $400 for the meal, it is not too much to ask that we be allowed to finish our meal in peace. Everyone can understand a desire to get off of work and move on to the next thing, grown ups and professionals know that the work is done when the work is done regardless of our...
