Perika's Terrace — Restaurant in Seminole

Food is worth a 5. Our server was amazing and worth a 5. Atmosphere is worth a 5. However.... We were passing through town on our way to Houston. We found this place for dinner and didn't think twice about stopping. We asked for one substitution on the quesadilla. (Please make it with corn instead flour tortillas - for a dietary restriction)

Our server was more than happy to ask. Everyone else placed their order and we continued talking about our journey to Houston. Our server came back to let us know that she really tried to get the change and the chef said: "I won't do it. I need the corn for other things." *Won't?!

My father, who needed the corn not flour tortilla, couldn't eat anything else on their menu. No big deal. His restrictions are not the problem of the restaurant. However! "Won't"?! Substituting two flour tortillas for two corn tortillas isn't going to shut the place down for a night. If that's the case, plan better. Last but not least.... (And this is an assumption, but we're pretty upset about the "won't") I can only imagine the conversation was about the corn request. Probably comments about not catering to people who don't want to eat gluten. It's the same kind of comment people make about vegetarians who don't want to eat meat. 🙄 Who cares what people do and do not want to or can't eat? (I digress) I said earlier that restrictions are not the problem of the restaurant. To put to rest any and all assumptions (by me as well) these restrictions were put into place by my father's doctor at MD Anderson. In Houston. Until he beats his cancer. (Also, yes. We eat meat)

No need to argue about "if we substitute for you...blah blah blah... Everyone..." You know good and well it's not everyone. You know good and well you wouldn't have run out. You know good and well not everyone asks for substitutions. You make more money with your apps and liquor. For the love of staying in business, get over the...

Food quality and taste isn’t the issue here. Everything tasted great. However, there are other issues that makes this a less than desirable dining experience. Sadly, we have tried this place multiple times and the negative atmosphere continues. 1) music at 7PM on a Saturday night was so loud conversation was absolutely, totally impossible. So, do not come here if your intention is to have any conversation at the dinner table. Even the teenagers with us found it beyond annoying. This happened to us previously here. We had waited over a year and had hoped for a better experience this visit. No such luck. 2) Servers were stretched thin. Multiple people at our table went 30 min with a totally empty glass. Simple request such as plates for sharing the three appetizers ordered were ignored. 3) appetizers came out slowly over the course of 15+ minutes. Entrees for a table of 5 took three trips by servers over more than 10 minutes. Some were done by the time the last received their food. The servers comment was “yeah, the kitchen seems to not be cooking by table but by easiest stuff out first.” What? Until they fix these issues it is amateur hour and the prices are anything...

you know, I used to think this place was a great hangout place, but I didn't realize how easily the owners can be manipulated by a complete narcissist. an incident happened at Windgate and the next day my friend and I went to Perikas I was not even having a drink, and unfortunately, we did not get served! Now Mind you the incident did not even happen at this establishment and on top of that the person who told the owners what happened completely lied about the entire thing just so we wouldn't be able to go there. They have no idea how foolish they look. Never asked my friend n I anything -there were even witnesses to what happened at Windgate! Not serving a customer over somebody's complete lies and it's not the first time this person has done that and I don't even need an apology because if that's the kind of people that are running this establishment I don't wanna be there anyway they are basically condoning an evil demon but not only that going along with it. you would think that people can think for themselves and if they were worried about the incident, why didn't they reach out and ask what happened? but this is a small town drama...
