La Perla Restaurant Bar — Restaurant in Town of Riverhead

We only spent more than $20 a person for the drinks. We...

I came in for dinner during the "Alive on 25" street event, so it was a busy night. I was I a party of two. We were sat right away. And my partner got a beer immediately. I ordered a mixed drink and we had to ask about it multiple before I got it 40 minutes later.

We watched the staff arguing with each other for the majority of the time we sat in the restaurant.

We sat in the restaurant for two hours. The disorganization was impressive. Food went to the wrong tables constantly. We never got any food. After two hours we just asked for the check. The kitchen had never started...
