The Scene – "Top Chef" fans hoping for a glimpse of the show's first victor crowd the small modest dining room, trimmed in orange, beige and brown. Circular tangerine banquettes with shaded lamps are favorite nooks for groups, while intimacy-seeking diners fancy the polished zebrawood tables in back. Non-starstruck neighborhood folks mill about the walnut bar. – – The Food – Chef Harold Dieterle proves he's no flash in the pan through exquisite, versatile cooking. Soft, spicy duck meatballs, topped with a quail egg, show he knows comfort; pristine raw hamachi in a…

What's this? I forgot what we ordered. Who cares-It's amazin
by slinki
The food is fantastic!!! My only regret about this place is that it will become too popular and harder to get a table, or that the chef will take off soon. But they already have a very good pace for seating/reservation staggering, so as long as the chef sticks around, this will be my new favorite place in the W Village for a while. Love the decor. My cocktail was also wonderful. Again, not into sweets, and the Perilla 75 has JUST the right mix of sweet, sour and zing. Wasn't crazy about the dessert we shared (peanut butter something or other), but I'm not a big dessert person. It could be bigger, but then it might lose some of its uniqueness.
- Pros: food, service, design
- Cons: a bit small, a bit noisy

Fantastic New American
by tmhessel
I don't usually take time to review but Perilla was so good that I will. 9:45 res for two. Seated right away. Space bet tables was tight, but not more so than many Manhattan places. Noise loud, but place was packed, and noise probably a function of place size (small, but not tiny as described in some reviews). Shared app: roasted maine sardines w/ black hummus, piquillo peppers & oregano vinaigrette. Entrees: dorado (special) w/ chickpeas & water chestnuts; roasted local game hen w/ orzo, summer vegetables, pea greens & poultry jus. Desserts: rhubarb sorbet cake w/ creme fraiche parfait & peanut butter chantilly; vanilla scented doughnuts w/ key lime custard & coconut refresher. Donuts highly recommended. Service impeccable, food delicious.
- Pros: All food and service
- Cons: Noise level

Really nice dining experience
by exeunt
Wife and I went to Perilla for our anniversary. Warmly lit dining room that wasn't too bright provided a really romantic atmosphere. The food was really something special. Duck meatballs, crispy pork belly, branzino and lamb, and vanilla scented doughnuts were all wonderful. A very indulgent meal that left us feeling very satisfied. Friendly and knowledgeable staff made it all the more enjoyable. Great place for a special occasion. Well worth the price. Can't wait to go back and try brunch.
- Pros: food, atmosphere, staff
- Cons: none really
