Man, I went for the Lamb Adana, which was FIRE. My girlfriend wanted the Portuguese Calamari, which also taste good. Lamb was moist with lots of flavors and good seasoning. No gamy taste at all. Pera Soho has some good Mediterrinean food. Service was also good. We plan on coming back on our next trip. read more

Good flavors but expensive for what it is. We had reservations for 2 people at 6 on a Wednesday but we probably didn't need them. We sat on the outside patio that is covered. Started with the scarlet on Thompson drink which was a more aperol forward cocktail and tasty. We got the scallops and roasted baby eggplant to share. For the price the dishes were pretty small. You definitely won't leave feeling stuffed. That being said, the flavors in the scallop dish were sooo good. The pea puree on the bottom with the crunchy mushrooms was delicious. Could have used more of a hard sear on the scallops but they were well cooked. Baby eggplant had a good mix of textures and flavors and the spice on the eggplant was really good. Service was a little spotty and slow, especially for how empty the place was. Not sure I'd come back but was fine trying it. Seems like the have a good happy hour with a lot of their mezze dishes on the menu so maybe I'd try that. read more

Entrees were small but appetizers were very good. Service was good and lots of nooks and crannies for a group dinner. Decent NA options and cute decor. read more

Most disgusting food I've ever had in my entire life. Service sucks took 20 minutes for a soda to get back to me, waiter never comes back to ur table. Burger was supposed to be MR cook basically well and tasted like it was boiled. Fries were full of salt and oregano. Worst experience ever + worst burger ever. I would rate a 0 if I could. read more

This restaurant is very charming with a cute outdoor seating area and large indoor seating. All of the staff from the hostess to the waiter were extremely friendly and helpful. We started with the shishito peppers which is listed as a side dish but we got as a starter. My friend has a gluten allergy and they made us aware that there was some breading and they were able to sauté the peppers instead which was still delicious. The hostess had recommended the burratta bruschetta, phyllo rolls, and calamari but unfortunately we did not get them due to the gluten allergy. For entrees, I had the chicken shashlik and my friend had the watermelon and heirloom tomato salad with chicken. My meal was very good but my friends salad looked so delicious I was a little jealous! All in all, this place is great and I look forward to returning to try more items! read more

A real hidden gem. Step off the curb and into a retreat. Filled with the sounds you'd expect at an upscale party yet comfortable having a conversation without yelling. Service was excellent the food and drinks were even better. Can't wait to check out their midtown location. I highly recommend. read more

Great food and even better atmosphere! The interior is very stylish and cozy. We really enjoyed the pasta and the wine selection. The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that it was a bit too loud for a conversation, but otherwise, a fantastic spot read more

We've been visiting Pera Soho for about 10 years now and besides the food ambiance so glad the food has not changed. The country salad is my favorite along with the fries and Portuguese fried calamari which I only have from here not being a seafood consumer. On occasion, weekend brunch gets crowded but it's nice you can come have such a good meal in a nice setting without the loud crowd. My only message is, please keep the good taste & quality food rolling! While NYC has many spots, it's hard to find a place you love that is consistent. read more

(Overall: B) - Overall, I found the fine dining food here to be quite mid with lots of room for improvement. The staff were kind and attentive and the venue itself was quite nice to host large groups, but the food could be better. (Octopus: A) - Their octopus is a well composed dish with a tender octopus leg and smashed potatoes that are nicely seasoned to give a forward depth of flavor and to heighten the octopus. The greens also add some vibrant color to make this dish pop. (Steak Frites: C) - It was smart to use the bread as a canvas to catch the steak drippings and not let those juices go to waste. Unfortunately, the rest of the dish is sub par as the steak was cooked to at least medium well, becoming quite dry. Further, I would've likef to see more of those regional spices tossed in the fries to differentiate from just regular fries. The plating could also be improved as the fries completely dominate the first look of this dish. (Calamari: B) - The cherry peppers add a pleasant sweet spiciness to enhance the fried squid. Aside from the sloppy presentation, I think this is a well executed dish. (Dip Sampler: D) - Aside from the carrot ginger hummus which was quite innovative from those notes of sweetness from the carrot, this dish was quite discomforting. The beer botani somehow mimics pepto bismol in both color and consistency in the form of a dip -- yet, somehow I find consumig pepto bismol more pleasant. I was a bit disappointed that the smoked eggplant was not coming through in the labne as well. -- Food: E Presentation: E Price: E Atmosphere: +1 Service: +1 Menu: E Overall: +2 B Insta/Beli: @amei_eats read more

The environment is very good. The food is western style. A lot of companies choose this restaurant to have a Christmas dinner. But the dessert is not that good read more

Pera is an amazing Mediterranean restaurant in a great SoHo location! It was easy to make a reservation and the staff was very welcoming. We were seated in a nice secluded area in the back, it felt like we had the restaurant all to ourselves! Service was very quick and they delivered our drinks and food in a timely manner. Each dish was better than the next! We started with the dip sampler which came with pita chips. Two of us shared the lamb sampler which came with grilled lamb pieces, 2 lamb chops, and a ground lamb kebab. The steak was great and the side of fries as well. Lastly, the salmon was cooked to perfection and was very flavorful. Overall Pera is a really great restaurant with quality food and service! Highly recommend for a date night or a night out with friends. read more

Great food and good service! One of my go to brunch spots in NYC. Very spacious and easy to make reservations on a weekend!

Exisquite restaurant with incredible service. The minute you walk in, you are greeted and seated (with or without reservation based on availability). The waiters were so nice and accommodating. They checked in on me at least once every 15 minutes. Ambiance was really nice and floral. The outdoor patio seating was really nice as well! I started with the hummus and it was delicious. Could have used a bit more flavor/seasoning or even spice, but it was still good! For my entree, I got the "SIRLOIN "SHASHLIK" STEAK FRITES." It was so tasty and well cooked. It came with a side of pita and some of the best seasoned fries I've ever had. Drinks wise, go with the blood orange martini! You can't go wrong with that one. read more

The food was fine! My favorite was the dip sampler, but it came w pita that was so crispy it made it hard to eat. If I could do it again I'd ask for soft pita. Come here for the ambiance (which must be outdoor seating, super nice and covered) not the food read more

Great juicy burger, flame grill taste, cozy and clean atmosphere, nice location in the city too

First time here and right off the bat they said HH was till 5:30 and when I corrected that website says 6:30 they said oh yes that's right!!!!!!! They had plenty of empty tables but didn't seat me when I arrived 15 mins earlier but I'm assuming they just had people coming for 20 ish tables or so. Seems a tad unbelievable but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt NGL we didn't start off on the right foot! Our server was very nice though. Asked us to order quickly before their evening rush. The blood orange martini came highly recommended but sadly was very disappointing. It was a long awaited drink after a hard week and this just really did not hit the spot The whipped feta with candied walnuts - 5 stars! Lahmacun with the beef lamb thing - 4 stars Pepper cheese pide had to be sent back once because it was burnt - 3 stars when it came back The entrees were all 4 stars! My crispy mushroom gyro was a very hearty dish. I enjoyed eating it. Tbh I was extremely full after that! The chicken shashlik was very flavorful as well. The beef frites was good too! The food was good not amazing but we're generous portions. Service was nice! Got the kuhnefe as it's my fav dessert but I'll. Give it 3 stars only. I needed a tad more syrup and tad more cheese. I doubt I'll be going back but it's a good time with friends. The outside courtyard type area is very pretty with fairy lights and all that! read more
