   Loved this place! The food, service and ambience were all amazing. We came here to celebrate our wedding anniversary and it did not disappoint! Our waitress even brought us a special dessert to celebrate.

   Awesome ambiance, food, and service. Local ingredients and mid-Atlantic features. Complimentary valet nice, especially on a rainy evening. A great choice to celebrate a special occasion.

   Dinner with friends to thank them for assisting with some activities they do with students in Baltimore County. Our meal was excellent - crab cakes, short ribs, the roasted chicken and the Utz-crusted halibut. Cooked to perfection, plated beautifully and neither too fast, nor too slow. Our server was brand new, but you would not have been able to tell. She was kind, just the right kind of attentive and very professional. Don't miss excellent food (a little pricey, but you are paying for quality, but worth it. Don't skip dessert!

   The most amazing food I’ve ever eaten! And I’ve eaten around the world at world class restaurants. I’ll make a special trip to Baltimore just to eat here! Crab soup, fried cauliflower, roasted artichoke, were stunningly delicious!

   I had a reservation and when I arrived on time, I was told it would be a 30-45 minute wait. They offered a (wobbly) high top table instead, which we took them up on. It was very crowded in the high top section, and partially outside so it was cold but they had heaters going - until it was no longer crowded, and they shut the heaters off while I and a couple of other tables were still outside. Food and drinks took a while to get, and the food is very overpriced for being very average food.

   Loud, loud, loud. Our party of four had to shout above the music and the noise. Everyone else in the place was also shouting. So much for ambience. Food was good but not great. Portions are small. Everything is overpriced, even the wine. Service was slow. Don’t need or want to go back for a while.

We try to monitor but with guest feedback we can especially cater to your needs. I find that guests prefer the DR to be part of the action but it tends to be the loudest area.

    Perennial (and Cunningham's before it) has always been a favorite. We went on date night at 630 and were seated in a noisy part of the restaurant next to a family with 2 screeching children. The menu has changed- not for the better and the server never explained anything about the changes. The tuna appetizer was tasty but very over priced. The persimmon caprese was interesting. The tuna entree was just ok but the new version of bronzino was atrocious, the fish was drowned in a broth without much taste or character and soggy, and with overcooked vegetables. Why the chef felt the need to depart from the more classic methods of this mediterranean delicacy is mystery not deserving for this mundane offering. The cauliflower in peanut sauce was the best thing on the table. Oh, and the hostess snatched my wife's glass without asking and there was still a bit more IPA left-- this is an infuriating habit. She also vowed she would be back to get our views on the menu but never did return. Probably not going back after a long history of this being one of our favorites. Tragic

    Food is good but drinks and dessert aren't quite worth it. Service seemed a bit new- hostess was apprehensive on which table to seat, 2 different servers greeted us within minutes of one another, runner brought our apps to the wrong table. Ambience is nice, and in spring the patio will be enjoyable.

    PerennialResponded 6 days agoMs. Chin-Thank you for taking your time to review.Feedback is always appreciated and encouraged!You hit the nail on the head.Several new employees working on Wednesday.I do apologize for that dampening your experience.We are in the process of onboarding a cohort of staff for the warmer months ahead.I agree that spring will be a delight and we need amble staff to prepare!.As for dessert, 2 are of the deconstructed variety, one being the Raspberry.I will speak with Pastry. noel@perennialtowson.

    I've eaten at Perennial multiple times, and it's usually very good. We were there on a Monday, and it was fine, but not great. At the price point of this restaurant, I'd expect more consistency. For example, the fried lobster was drowning in sauce, the petite fillet that was supposed to be medium rare was medium well (we did not send it back), and the creme brulee was cold all the way through - seemed to have been in the fridge for a long time. Service and ambience were excellent. Mondays just aren't the hot night out!

    I believe this was our 6th visit to the popular Perennial this past Saturday night. Arrived for our reservation and was pleasantly surprised that they were ready to seat us. To be honest there have been a few issues with being seated reasonably close to our reservation in the past so that was great. They had great live music that creates a nice vibe for a lovely meal, so imagine my dismay to be led past the bar and guided right and seated at a table for six for our party of two in a dark room,almost empty and obviously for overflow and the door shut and music blocked out. I commented to our server our disappointment but didn’t want to make a stink. Anyhow they continued to seat small parties in this room and I watched 3 parties refuse their tables and were reseated in main part of the room. Hence the low ambiance score. Now to the food,being the 6th time I expected some specials to their menu because it is limited but they do what they do pretty well. My rack of lamb was good but husband’s fillet was over salted. Wish they would change that rough cabbage slaw that they accompany almost every main course. I have been to almost every Atlas restaurant in Baltimore so comparatively it was disappointing. I guess I learned I should have spoken up louder.

    Requested a quiet space and was seated out in patio area which was great. Service was good though less attentive towards end of meal. Food was excellent, copious amounts of vegetables with protein. Wife had Utz Halibut and I had Tuna with a risotto base. Pleasant experience and only would have preferred background music to be lower, it competed with conversation.

    General Manager Ian defines class and does an excellent job of being attentive to us. He and his staff are a large reason why we dine regularly at Perennial. Kyle the bartender makes us feel like guests at his home. We thoroughly enjoy each and every meal and drinks at Perennial. We recommend Perennial to all of our friends and colleagues.

    Booked for our anniversary. We were given a poor table right behind the hostess stand with cold breeze all night. Our waiter came around hardly at all. We had empty cocktails for a long time before being asked if we need anything. I don’t believe he came around 1 time during our meal. 2 floor managers did periodically check on us. We were offered a round of drinks and a complimentary dessert, which was nice but we had already had a bad time. The manager did reach out and offer us a $50 gift card as an apology, which I appreciated. For an atlas Restaurant, there is a level of expectation that comes with those prices and the service was disappointing. Food was well prepared and fantastic.

    This was our first time dining at Perennial. The food was very good, one of the sauces was a little too sweet for my taste though. The service was outstanding, they were very friendly and gave us good attention. The sound level was very high the layout is very open so not much to absorb or deflect the sound and the side of the building that we were seated at is right next to York road and we heard the traffic sounds, especially motorcycles throughout our meal.

    Food was good but very expensive and the menu is limited. Service was mediocre. It’s a pretty restaurant but we were seated in a kind of enclosed patio with space heaters - I was very cold the entire meal. The valet attendant was no where to be found when we left and we wandered around the garage for quite a while before he turned up. Probably will not go back.

    This was our third time eating at Perennial and the most disappointing. We had a reservation for 6:45p which was made one month prior to the dinner date. Upon entering, we were told our table was being cleared and would be ready momentarily. The receptionist suggested that the four of us sit at the bar and get a drink. With no seats available and very little room to stand in the bar area, we squeezed close by to have a drink. Two drinks later and after 45 mins of waiting for our table, we were then told that the people at the table were just paying their bill. What??? In both of our past visits to Perennial, we were clearly told that the table would be available for our meal for 1.5 hrs. So why in this case did we wait 45 mins for our reservation? I certainly understand a short wait at times even when having a reservation. But the wait was definitely too long, was not acknowledged by restaurant staff nor was an apology offered. Sadly the meals that our two guests ordered (one from the menu and one a daily special) were just average in taste and not in keeping with the price. As they were our guests, I was very disappointed. I will think twice before rebooking at Perennial.
