Beautiful restaurant at with amazing ambience. If the weather is nice, I would highly recommend getting outdoor seating; it feels like you’re sitting in a little garden, away from the city bustle. The dessert was the best part of the meal (the salads are pretty small).

The vibes on the inside/outdoor patio setup are amazing. I really felt like we were in Europe! I went here on a date but there were lots of big dinner and birthday crews too. The drinks were great and 3/4 of the dishes we got were amazing. The gnocchi was pretty bland and very small for how much it cost, it didn’t taste like there was a dash of salt in the dish. However the phyllo rolls, wings and patatas bravas were out of this world. The peach spritz was so refreshing, as was the cucumber cooler. The margarita was a bit too sweet. Would probably come back for a birthday or something!

I went here for happy hour. The place was busy but the ambiance was chill and not too loud. They have a great outdoor area which I would highly recommend taking advantage of while the weather is nice.
The drinks were really good, I am personally fan of their blood orange martini. Beware that during happy hour each person can only order one drink at a time and you must finish your drink before ordering another one.
For appetizers we tried a little bit of everything. The phyllo was delicious and reminded me a bit of mozzarella sticks. The meatballs were tender and well spiced (although there’s only 2). The fries are a must if you like french fries, they are topped with dried herbs. But in my opinion, the ABSOLUTE BEST was the smoked eggplant dip. I expected something like baba ghanoush, but their version was creamy and paired with the pita chips absolute heaven.
For the main dish I had chicken skewers. They were well spiced, tender, and juicy.
I really I would recommend this place. Be aware that the staff is not exactly the warmest, but they are respectful and get your orders right.

Came here during restaurant week and was really disappointed by the dessert. The chocolate dessert is so tiny that it looks like a joke.
The main menu barely had any Mediterranean food. Seems like a bit of identity crisis based on the type of food options on the menu.
The pasta I had was a little too al dente aka half cooked.
Some of the drinks were good and the staff was attentive

Pera is such a beautiful restaurant with great ambiance and service. I came for happy hour on a Friday. All of the drinks we ordered were very strong, I really liked the margarita! The happy hour appetizers were great!
Recommendations: margarita or the spritzer for drinks
eggplant dip and the kofte meatball were my favorite appetizers. For entree, we got the cavatelli which was cooked to perfection.
Great service here too! It was a little cold at our table with the draft, I’d recommend to grab a seat by the bar side of the restaurant, but other than that I had a great happy hour at Pera!

9/10
Definite star of the day - croissant french toast - didn’t even get a chance to take a pic:’)
Brunch - fresh, but will not wow you.
Vibe - relaxed, not too crowded. Pleasant & professional service????????

I’ve come here a couple of times and had a great experience. The staff is helpful and on the ball. They have both indoor and outdoor seating but we sat inside. When we came it was pretty quiet so we were seated immediately. Recommend getting a reservation if you come in the summer cos they get pretty busy.
We tried the sirloin shashlik, the salmon, the muhmaara and eggplant dips, and for dessert the kunefe and the chocolate mousse. Everything was excellently prepared and delectable- I would order all of these options again. I will say service was a little slow but that may have been since the place wasn’t super full and there were less staff. However people seem to fill others shoes so we really didn’t have much of an issue.
The space outdoors looks like it’s made for sharing - larger tables in the corners and some smaller ones in the middle. The inside has more seating for 2 and 4 people.
Will be back for sure.

Gorgeous space both indoors and outdoors and elegant decor.
Their croissant French toast is the star — caramelized pear in it really stand out. And it’s pretty light.
Shakshuka was nice but it was drowning in cheese so not the most authentic Mediterranean recipe :)
The pitcher of bellini is a nice idea for a group!

Came here with a group of five well-traveled people for dinner and sat in the garden, even though the weather was steamy and humid. (I kind of wish it did rain so we could hear the rain pattering on the roof.) The space, including the garden, is decorated beautifully and the food is delicious. For appetizers we had the hummus, octopus, artichokes, olives and calamari. For dinner we has the salmon, chicken, and clams. Everyone was stuffed at the end of the meal. I hated to leave; it was way too much fun. Thank you for a wonderful experience! It was very refreshing to not feel rushed. And my friend, being gluten-free and dairy-free, also felt very welcome. We appreciate your willingness to be so gracious to her. She usually encounters lots of eye rolling. This is a fabulous place.
