La Perla Restaurant And Country Inn

"Had 545 reservations, table wasnt ready. Took 5 minutes to get drink at table, ordered our food, took almost hour for food to arrive. Waiter never came over once to ask if we needed drinks refilled. Food was ok. A little on pricey side for service we received"

"Excellent meal. Would definitely go there again. May have to make another 3 hour ride to get there again. Staff was pleasant as well. We ordered the Chicken Francese and Tiramisu for dessert. Husband also got the pomegranate martini and loved them."

"First time visit to La Perla in Averill Park, NY Thursday 8/17/23 6:30pm reservation. We came because of the music by The Next Chapter, Alan Saunders & Mike Derrico formerly of the Good for the Soul band that played at our wedding in 2006. They were set up in an nice courtyard at the rear of the restaurant, but an hour later had to move inside due to the rain. Very prompt service by the staff. We ordered drinks and looked over the menu. We settled on two appetizers: eggplant rollatini ($20) and the clams casino ($22). Note: clams are offered in 6 different styles. Italian style entrees from $18-33, more for specialty fish entrees i.e. zuppa de pesce $51. This is a fine dining restaurant offering well prepared and a variety of dinners. Bill was $100. for two meals & four alcoholic beverages. We ended our evening at the unique bar & dining area where we could still see & hear the band. This place also offers overnight accommodations & is an event venue. A very good first visit here. Restaurant Hours of Operation: Monday, Wednesday, Thursday 4PM - 9PM Friday & Saturday 4PM - 10PM Sunday 3pm-9pm Restaurant is closed on Tuesdays. Reservations are recommended. Thank you to all the staff at La Perla. Nick & Liz, Albany, NY"

"What started out as an end-of-work-week date night for my wife and I turned into absolute frustration due to dining here. We were seated and took a while for someone to come over to take our drink order. All we ordered was a Diet Coke and lemonade. That took 10 minutes. We ordered an appetizer of bruschetta- that took 35 minutes. Since we were also trying to get to a show on time we had to ask for boxes for our entrees to go. We thought that leaving over an hour for dinner would be sufficient to eat and get to the show on time but the wait time for everything was maddening. I also caught up with a friend who unbeknownst to me was dining at the restaurant at the same time and had the same experience. It’s really a shame because from what I tasted, the food was delicious but the first thing I said to my wife when we got in the car was, “I’ll never go back there.”"

"Went last night for Valentines Day dinner, and absolutely loved it! The place was jammed, as to be expected, but the service was still great, fast, attentive, and very friendly, you could see everyone pitching in and working hard. The food was absolutely delicious with huge portions, and a large menu with many options. Also a nice selection of specialty drinks for the occasion, and an absolutely beautiful setting. Highly recommended for any occasion, or none at all, I can’t wait to go back again!"
