La Perle Restaurant & Bar — Restaurant in Stamford

I was thrilled when my spouse walked me up to La Perle’s Restaurant door as a surprise. It was my birthday and to celebrate, my spouse brought me to La Perle to celebrate. Walking in, I was met with the beautiful design and size of the restaurant. You know that you are in for an elegant experience. The staff was very welcoming and the space provisions were made for the 19 situation. Looking at the menu, they had some great choices for appetizers like spicy mango chicken wings and jerk chicken tenders. Even though we weren’t eating vegan that night, I love that they offer dishes like garlic roasted pepper hummus. We decided to order the coconut shrimp dip with plantain chips. At first bite, the dip is deliciously cheesy. It is a warm oooey gooey cheesy dip. As we dipped into the dip with the plantains, we would find hearty chunks of shrimp. There was a nice amount of shrimp in the dip. I have to say that I didn’t really taste the coconut though. I also wish that the plantains were actually light and crispy plantain chips, but all in all, we enjoyed it. At this point, I was ready for a drink, but not a cocktail. I didn’t want alcohol, so I asked if they could make me a mocktail. The gentleman looked a little perplexed and then asked another lady if she could make a mocktail for me. To make things easier, I asked them to make me something fruity. They ended up giving me a glass of passion fruit juice. Although I like passion fruit juice, I was really looking forward to a beautifully built fruity concoction. It would be helpful if they could build a mocktail menu for people that want a special non-alcoholic drink. For dinner we ordered the Kabrit Tasso (fried goat), but honestly, it was very hard to choose from their great selection. Of course they offer Haiti’s national dish Griyo (fried pork), Conch Stew, which I plan you try next time and Kompa Shrimp and Grits, plus more. Our meal came with rice and beans but we asked to have diri djon djon (black rice) instead. They accommodated us without a problem. It also came with plantains (fried green plantains), vegetables and pikliz. Any chance I have, I order diri djon djon, I ordered it. This black rice did not disappoint. Everything was delicious. We enjoyed our meal, but I have to say, the star of the plate was the pikliz. It was so flavorful and lightly peppered, so even my spouse could enjoy it. The pikliz was perfect!!!! Once dinner was over, it was time for dessert. The unfortunate thing was, they didn’t have half of their dessert menu available, so that was disappointing. What they did have was cheesecake and I was happy with that. They were all so sweet. They came out singing happy birthday with a sparkler candle. Even Chef O’Neil came out singing. It made my night. All in all, La Perle is a great restaurant and we will...

I recently visited La Perle restaurant with my family of four to celebrate Father's Day. While our experience left much to be desired, I believe there is potential for improvement.

Firstly, the limited buffet options came as a surprise. We were disappointed to find out that there were no fruits or desserts available. It would have been helpful if this information was clearly communicated beforehand, either on the menu or during the reservation process.

Additionally, the unexpected $29 gratuity fee added to our bill caught us off guard. It would have been appreciated if the restaurant had made this charge more transparent, ensuring that customers are aware of it from the start.

Despite these issues, I believe there is room for improvement at La Perle. The ambiance of the restaurant was pleasant, and the staff was generally friendly. It is my hope that they take customer feedback into account and work on addressing these shortcomings.

While our experience fell short of expectations, it is worth noting that every dining experience can be different. I encourage the restaurant management to reevaluate their policies and pricing structure to ensure that customers are well-informed and satisfied.

In conclusion, my visit to La Perle on Father's Day was marred by limited buffet options, unexpected gratuity charges, and an additional automatic tip. However, with some adjustments and better communication, I believe the restaurant has the potential to offer a more enjoyable experience for...

My friends and I came here to celebrate an an engagement 05/19/24. The customer service was extremely poor. We had reservations for 6:00pm and when we got there we were told it’s only a private party and after giving them push back they had a table set up for us upstairs. Our waiter never introduced herself. She was extremely rude & complained about everything! She kept telling us that she wouldn’t give us more to go containers for our cake b/c the to go containers were for food only and apparently cake isn’t food. Again we arrived at 6PM we didn’t get our food until 9PM! & some of us didn’t get food at all! The waiter messed up our orders and she kept catching an attitude everytime we told her our order was wrong. This is our first and last time having a dinner here. They treated us poorly! And it was a party of 14 & the customer service was awful. If you’re having a party or celebration please go somewhere else! Please go to a different place. They never apologized for the food coming late. They never apologized for their poor customer service they kept telling us it’s our fault. Yea avoid this place at all cost. We spent over $700 and we could’ve spent that at a place that would’ve...
