Perle Mesta

We travel all over the country, and this was one of the best meals we've had in our travels. Jason, our server, was excellent in his service and his recommendations, and the experience was absolutely amazing. The atmosphere is very art-deco meets modern chic, and you definitely feel well taken care of and luxurious being here without it being pretentious. Next time we are in OKC, this place is a must. (Added Suggestion: Try the "Call Me Madam" cocktail with the flourless chocolate cake. It's like having a flower garden in your mouth! Exquisite!)

My husband and I tried Perle Mesta for the first time this evening to celebrate my birthday. The food was absolutely incredible and our server, Colt, made it a fantastic experience. He recommended the sea bass and venison which we ordered and they were both delicious. Colt made a point to wish me a happy birthday and brought us a delicious dessert to celebrate. We had a wonderful evening and will definitely be returning.

MOTHERS DAY BRUNCH WITH FLOWER BAR 🥗🌺 Wow! Perle Mesta did an exceptional job of making Moms feel so special yesterday. The food was beautiful and delicious. Marco (polo) was a fun server. The restaurant is absolutely LOVELY right down to the tableware. I highly recommend this spot!

It has taken me a couple of days to choose the correct words in describing the amazing service that I had while enjoying the Perle Mesta experience. To start, Jason was an incredible artist that offered not only fantastic recommendations from the wine selection, but also took the time to share his wisdom and insight on how to enjoy wine on a deeper level outside of this incredible establishment. Secondly, I don’t write this without knowing the weight of my words: this was not just a dining experience, but indeed a romantic blend of culinary taste crafted from what I can only presume to be a God given gift. The food was not only delicious, but truly mesmerizing. No expense was spared and I will never stop recommending this delightful experience.

Just enjoyed an excellent breakfast here. Our server, Denise was friendly and attentive. All of the other staff were proper and gave great service. Atmosphere was nice. It felt like I was sitting in the living room at grandma's house that you only get to go in on Christmas and Thanksgiving, that's not a bad thing.

Perle Mesta delivers an elevated dining experience with imaginative dishes and top-notch service. The Lavender Duck was a highlight—perfectly cooked, tender, and subtly infused with floral notes that added depth without overpowering the dish. The prawn was also a nice addition. The cocktails were equally impressive. The Silk Roads stood out and was well balanced. Kyoto Nights was also one to note, showcasing the bar’s creativity. Jason provided outstanding service, striking the perfect balance between attentiveness and warmth. His thoughtful recommendations enhanced the evening, making an already delightful experience even better. Perle Mesta is a must-visit for anyone seeking inventive cuisine, exceptional drinks, and impeccable service. Looking forward to my next visit!

We went for my birthday and got the lavender duck and sea bass which were delicious. Our server Logan was very attentive and made our overall dining experience great! Would highly recommend.

Perle Mesta offers a great dining experience with delicious flavors. The caviar was a treat, and the tasting platter calamari, scallops, and steak was cooked perfectly. A great spot for a special meal!

This place is great. Amazing drinks. Large wine section. Great mocktails. We had the the butter beans and oysters for an app. We both had the sea bass which was amazing and very filling. To finish off we enjoyed the chocolate flourless cake. Everything was prepared with care. Kudos to the chef and our waiter Landon.

Came here with a party of 12. We came during their happy hour time which to note is NOT a discounted menu it is just the oysters, pizza and appetizers available 2-5pm so more of a limited menu. I had called earlier to book for a party of 12 but didn't receive a call back but the staff was extremely accommodating once we did arrive and seated us as a party of 12. The service was spectacular and the food was just okay, all of it was pricey. I was expecting more from the pizza it was extremely thin and had like barely anything on it? Cheese and sauce wise. The scallops were flavorful and cooked well.

I love the vibe at Perle Mesta, very New York City chill combined with attentive, friendly service. Come for the ambience but stay for the creative menu that puts a creative spin on classics. Chef Andrew Black is creative and I always enjoy seeing what his concepts have to offer!

Although I did not eat, I went to the bar at Perle Mesta with a colleague last night and was very impressed. The atmosphere and ambience were lovely. Terrific happy hour drinks. A very nice experience. Will return.

Sirloin FANTASTIC! Swiss chard unlike any other. THE TRUFFLE FRIES OMG! The okra was exquisite. Great service and great food while staying at the Skirvin in OKC! Go THUNDER!

Our waiter, Jason, has been great - professional, cordial, efficient, with impeccable manners. My wife and I came to Perle Mesta for my wife's birthday (+1 day) celebration, after our second son - a self-proclaimed foodie- had recommended this restaurant. The sea bass, accompanied by a bottle of Grüner Veltliner, was delightful! Thank you

Quite frankly, we were disappointed with both food and service, particularly since we were so excited to come since we had read up on the chef and wanted to try one of his restaurants. We came here for lunch the day after Christmas and were the first to be seated. The place was otherwise empty and started filling up gradually. Our server was super friendly and sweet, but she failed to mention some important details. For instance, nowhere on the menu did it say that the escargot didn't come with actual escargot. We didn't know, and the server didn't tell us. When the appetizer came it was literally mushrooms with cheese on top and a piece of toast. It tasted okay, but we would never have ordered that for $14 if we had known there was no escargot in it. In addition, the menu didn't mention whether or not the sandwiches came with fries. So we ordered truffle fries as an appetizer, assuming it would have said something if it came with, and ordered a burger and the French dip, both of which ended up coming with the same fries. One would think that the server might mention that there were fries on the side so that we wouldn't need an additional plate full of fries, but that too was not the case. Both burger and French dip were good, but honestly nothing special. We also ordered the salmon, which tasted really good. Everything on that plate was comforting and well-seasoned, but the portion size was very small. If I had only ordered that as my entree and nothing else I would have left hungry. Overall a disappointing experience in terms of expectation vs reality, and also a lack of communication that left us feeling like we just didn't get what we paid for.

I came here with 4 other women and we each ordered our own meal and a few shared apps for the table. Every single one of us ended the meal confused why the portions were so small and why we were still hungry. I feel bad that I spent that much money on dinner to pick up food again on my way home. Parking was also difficult and we had to find street parking which overall would be fine if I wasn't still hungry walking back to my car. I'm very disappointed because I've been to the other of chef blacks restaurants and have not had an experience similar to this at all.

Attended an event at Perle Mesta, it was such an amazing experience! From the Parmesan truffle okra to the spiced plantain chips with garlic ranch, everything was so tasty! Chef Black is personable and put a lot of thought put into each section of the restaurant! So happy to have had this opportunity to support a local establishment. We'll be back for dinner!

Our server, Denise was lovely and I was hesitant on my order as I didn't see any reviews or pictures and when I asked what she recommended this was one. The Superfood Oats was probably the best overnight oats I've had and the portion was very generous!

Cute spot! Certainly still in the early phases but beautiful nonetheless. If you want a good place for a quick drink I recommend this place. Food for value was pretty illogical. The bites were fine but certainly not worth the price. The bee sting drink and Na-groni wete great mocktails! Ryan, our waiter, and the bartender were great also! Very helpful when sitting a party of 12, the event space was private and beautifully set.

Wow! What a dinner! The oysters were some of the best of the best!! And the venison.. omg. Our waiter Jason was great. We couldn't be happier and can't wait to return! And the CUTEST atmosphere. Ambience was great. It felt like we were on vacation.

Perle Mesta is a wonderful date night or special occasion restaurant. It opened in late June in the Skirven Hotel, a concept of Chef Andrew Black, a James Beard 2023 award winner. The venue is opulent. The decor embraces a mix of orginial building design and appointments with some of the 2007 updates and the more recent updates for Pearle Mesta. The north wall of the main dining room is craved plaster of Chef Black's favorite herbs and spices. The wall is both interesting and stunning. Additional work is ongoing, out of site from the patrons, involving three private dining rooms. We were fortunate to get a "back stage" tour of these dining rooms, escorted by Kaiya. They hope to have the rooms available in the coming months. They also plan to install a library in the restaurant lobby to house Chef Black's culinary book collection. I ordered the sorghum glazed sea bass with black rice in citrus beurre blanc. It was amazing! Jan ordered the citrus fennel-dusted sea scallops in parsnip cream, blood orange reduction, and butternut squash vinegarette. She thoroughly enjoyed the scallops. The service was good. The prices are reasonable. My sea bass was $38. Some of the dishes served to others looked amazing. The only problem was the server being soft-spoken with the background music too loud. Jan had trouble hearing the server, and she has excellent hearing. It was a very nice evening and pleasant dining experience.

What a great lunch we just had today. The place was not busy when we came in. The restaurant is beautiful but not too fancy, which I liked. Our server was friendly and he gave good feedback about the menu. We weren't impressed with it in the beginning, I just felt like the menu needed a section for entrée or soups. Until we tasted the food. The Caesar salad was amazing. Taro chips instead of croutons!? It worked. Caesar salad is my go to and this was one of the best I've tasted. We also ordered the mushroom and truffle pizza, and we thought we would have some leftovers, but we finished it! It was the perfect lunch pizza. It was so light, and the mushrooms were of quality. For their first week of opening, I thought it went well. We look forward to going back and trying the dinner menu.

Wow - a true dining experience from Chef Andrew Black and lunch did not disappoint. Got the deviled eggs along with the French dip sandwich (they also can give you a side of horseradish sauce upon request), and both were amazing. Also got the one dessert they offer, which was a slice of chocolate cake with a scoop of homemade raspberry sorbet. Their unsweet iced tea is also excellent. Exceptional service from Denise as well. The interior environs are also baller AF and the bar has an ultra-cool rustic vibe to it. Highly recommended!

I really enjoyed my stay at the Skirvin Hilton in Downtown Oklahoma City, despite the 12 degree icy weather. Such a beautiful, historic building that dates back to 1911. Today's hotel is named for its founder, William Balser Skrivin. Just off the main lobby is the elegant restaurant called "Perle Mesta", named for Skirvin's daughter. Perle Mesta is run by James Beard Award-winning chef Andrew Black. Such a classy establishment with impeccable service. Although I visited their bar in the evening, I only dined in for breakfast over two days. I have to say their scrambles eggs are exquisite. The perfect moist curd, just how I like it. Steak "Bowl" was excellent, even if it wasn't served in a bowl. What seemed to flummox me the most were their potato side descriptions. One dish said "caramelized potatoes" and the other said "smashed potatoes". Between the Perle Mesta Breakfast and Steak and Egg Bowl, they were both the same. Cut up cooked potatoes that weren't really anything special. I look forward to visiting again the next time I'm in OKC!

Considering their "hightea" experience? Think again. Not only do you have to pay upfront online to reserve this experience but it auto adds a gratuity tip to the order for the "cooks". Consider what I say about the food and then rethink this part. We get there and our table is set out already with tea cups and tea additions. The waitress tells us it's her first time doing this. They only had 3 tea options..... for high tea. (Looking back the online description says choice of two teas but only having 2 or 3 options seems bleak) It says "sweet and savory bites" and while I am familiar with high tea being finger foods I didn't realize how little we would be given for 3 people. 75 dollars per person which includes a glass of champagne. One pot of non impressive tea per person. For the tray shared : 9 palm sized open faced sandwich finger foods. 9 small presliced cheesecake bites, two baklavas, 4 macaroons, and two chocolate mice. With gratuity that you had no choice in adding was over 300 for 3 people. Then we get told they outsource all sweets from la baguette!! No scones? This is truly not a high tea and looking back the only good experience was being in a pretty atmosphere with my friends. Maybe get food if you're staying at the hotel but don't come here for a "HighTea". I give it two stars cause the hotel has charm and the food didn't send me to the hospital.

Last evening I had the pleasure of dining for the first time at Perle Mesta. The food, first, exceeded my high expectation -- which was based on the chef being the well regarded Andrew Black. I had the sorghum glazed fish with black rice, preceded by the salad of Burrata cheese, peach and pecan romesco, local tomatoes, pancetta, sourdough chips. My fellow diners were equally impressed and pleased! -Maj. League

I arrived for my reservation at 7:15 and I was promptly seated and greeted. I got to my table and unfortunately my drinks took 30-45 minutes to arrive. Additionally I would say I did not have my entree until 8:30PM. In regard to ambiance you tell there is attention to detail there BUT the tables are so close together that it takes away from the experience. Unfortunately our waiter was nice but he was so task saturated that we rarely were attended to. In regard to food, the flavors were great I'd say my steak was a 7.5/10. The portion size was lacking for the price as well which can be seen in the photo. The Kyoto cocktail was strong but I felt that the flavor met my expectations 8.5/10 nice sweet undertones but strong. All in all this place has a great ambiance but the portion sizes, shoulder to shoulder seating and slow service drops their ratings greatly !!

What I ate!!! -I had the coconut milk scallop ceviche -Half a dozen oysters on the half shell -Butter bean and tomato w/grilled caribbean indian roti -Belgian artichoke, asparagus, roasted butternut squash, mushrooms, truffle pasta, corn and celery root nage. Not even sure where to begin. The food was absolutely amazing! The ceviche was delicious, the scallops were perfect, there was a coconut broth that was so good I drank it when we finished the ceviche. It had l some sliced peppers that gave it a kick, but the right amount of kick. It came with some plantain chips that were thin and crispy and complimented the ceviche perfectly! The oysters came with a strawberry mignonette that I personally liked. I believe it was made with champagne vinegar, so if you aren't a fan, I would ask that they not add it to the oysters. Im an oyster snob and the oysters were DIVINE, the brine wasn't too salty and they were so creamy!!! BUTTER BEANS!! wheww, I wanted to go back there and pick the pot they made them in clean!! There were a few dollops of goat cheese(I believe), I never knew how bomb those would taste together. The roti was top teir, it wasn't greasy and the ends were crisp. I would actually go back and beg for a full entree serving of it. The pasta was a work of art. GORGEOUS! Everything was delicious, the celery root and sauce were my favorite part. Again, if I was not in public I likely would have picked my plate with no shame. Staff- we had two tables. Our servers were Colt and Andy(spell ). They were friendly, kind, never appeared to be in a hurry or rush, but always there when needed. My cup was never empty. They were sooo dang pleasant. Several other staff came over to check in, take photos, and help make a toast for the birthday girl we celebrated. Chef Black stopped by and I fan girled. Atmosphere- BEAUTIFUL and THOUGHTFUL! There is a wall with all of Chef Black's favorite herbs/aromatics/mushrooms dried and paint to the wall. I love it and kind of want to do that in my own kitchen. The lights are perfectly dim and it is easy to move around in. Wheww, I am probably going back in a few weeks.

Andrew Black has done it again! Everything here was delicious. We stuffed ourselves with so much delicious food. The sea bass was great with the perfect sauce to compliment it. The rice was not as good and kind of hard. The duck was delicious. It was cooked perfectly and the mushroom and cream sauce on the bottle was good enough to lick off of the bowl. The scallops in the ceviche were sweet and the combination of the tomato and jalapeño were divine! The service wasn't the best. I had asked for water from our server but she never came back around until either the manager or someone else came to check up on us. The setting was nice and seating was comfortable. I love the decorations they had.

This could be a one off... We came for post brunch drinks. There were two other tables when we arrived. Two waiters. All I can say is there's a lot of work to be done. A lot. This restaurant seems to be totally out of sorts. From management down. One of the waitresses was crying the whole time. Very odd considering where this place of business is. A few other parties came through and waited an uncomfortable amount to be seated, have drinks brought, etc. Beautiful building and I'm sure the food is good. Just concerned that they will not make it. It seems that maybe there is something going on with the Skirvin, but staffing is an issue.

A welcome new addition to Downtown OKC that is worth the hype! You can feel the attention to detail throughout the restaurant at every stage. Although limited, the menu options and the food were excellent. Most portion sizes are petite, although the pizzas can be shared. Something surprising and disappointing was the lack of genuine in house coffee service and desserts. As of my visit, they have no espresso machine on site and where bringing in some deserts from a local bakery. This dampened an otherwise remarkable experience.

Such a cute place! The staff are extremely nice as well (shoutout Laurel!). The location is prime. We went here for brunch and there were a nice amount of tables seated. To drink, we had mimosas (right now there's only wine and mimosas). For lunch we both got sandwiches (the pastrami and skirt steak), and they were both pretty good! I loved my pastrami sandwich - it was delicate, juicy, and the ciabatta was perfect. My fiance got the skirt steak and it wasn't what he expected. He wanted a more fruit forward cheesy sandwich (because of the peaches and Brie) but it ended up being very chimichurri heavy. Overall I'm going to come back and try their dinner!

Limited menu with odd offerings. Service was adequate. For the beautiful Skirvin Hotel this was disappointing. Seemed to lack cohesion and identity.

Overpriced breakfast - McDonalds tastes better than this for a fraction of the price. Ambiance is cool in a pretentious way, but I'd still skip this place. Also, if you order room service from Perle Mesta while staying at the Skirvin, don't expect to get your food for hours.

Where do I even start, service was amazing food was even better! Our server Jason explained the menu to us and was so thoughtful about every detail. We got oysters and the Kobe beef with fried calamari to start, I was blown away with the oysters(never really enjoyed them before eating here) then we got the burrata and grilled peach salad. I love burrata so this was one of my favorite dishes. For our entrees I got the brick oven roasted steak with duck fat frites and coconut pepper corn Demi glaze, I asked for medium rare and that's exactly what I got! It's rare that a restaurant cooks the steak perfectly. My dad got the venison with thyme and rosemary potatoes, he loved it! I just want to say thank you to our server Jason for the excellent service and to the back of house team for killing it! Bring your loved one, they'll love you more for it.

Can't recommend Perle Mesta enough. The food was delicious but the service was out of this world. Our server, Jason, took amazing care of us. From complementary items to taking the time to point us to the perfect things to order. Highly recommend for an anniversary or other celebration.

Finally checking Perle Mesta out. Opened in June by 2023 James Beard winner chef Andrew Black. He also owns the Black Walnut & Grey Sweater. Had the following: ~Avocado relish deviled eggs-did not look appetizing but was pretty good. Side salad was refreshing. ~Salmon - crispy & tasty but sides were interesting. Asparagus per the menu would be better ~Burger w truffle fries - yum ~Thai beef salad - beef was cooked right but boy, salad was too spicy. It was interesting to have such spicy salad. Even the manager said sometimes the dressing of Sambal & honey mustard can be too spicy. If the sambal was on the side, it could go well w the beef. Loved the restaurant deco & its private dining rooms.

My fiance and I tried this place for our anniversary and it was absolutely incredible! We were both talking about how we don't remember the last restaurant we went to where they just nailed everything. I didn't think I liked duck until I tried their duck. My scallops were the best scallops I've ever had. The Kyoto Nights cocktail was the best cocktail I've ever had. Chocolate cake, best chocolate cake ever. Anyway, we were thrilled with our meal and experience. The service was amazing as well. I can't say enough good things about this place!

Almost a half hour to order a drink. Another half hour to get one. Another hour to get food. No apology and no explanation. Worst customer service I've experienced in 5+ years in okc. But they didn't seem to acknowledge it or care to address it. Kitchen was good, if you want to endure a thirsty three hour meal.

My husband had the fruit parfait and I had the Superfood oatmeal. They were both delicious although the serving of superfoods was very small. The server was courteous and d the atmosphere very pleasant.

Chef Andrew Black has done it again guys. Perle Mesta is a pure class act tucked inside the amazing Skirvin Hotel in downtown Oklahoma City. This is the the fourth option that chef Black has given us to enjoy his amazing cuisine. The ambiance is lush and the service is impeccable. Tonight I dined alone and enjoyed two glasses of J21. I went with two appetizers which were the okra and plantain chips. They were both amazing. So amazing that I would recommend ordering your own okra instead of sharing. It is not a large portion. The mango soca aioli reminds me of an amazing mango salsa. Perfectly balanced. The drink and dessert menus are not yet available. So I'll be back as soon as they are released. Thanks to Nick, Callie, Wilber and Jason for taking great care of me. I felt right at home already!

I waited to leave a review as I reached out to get a response regarding our experience. No response, but they're active on social media, so I'm just going to leave the less than stellar review I was hoping to avoid. We dined there on Sunday evening for a birthday, and went to enter through the large doors under the awning. They were locked, so we entered through the hotel entrance. It wasn't busy, there were 5 other tables, we were the 6th table, and nobody came in after us. There was no acknowledgement of the birthday when we arrived or at any point during dinner. We did order 5 of the 6 appetizers, and they took about 25-30 mins to start trickling out. We didn't mind, we were hanging out at that point having a cocktail. The Kyoto Nights is one of my favorite drinks I have tasted. The appetizers were mostly good. The wagyu was chewy, but the rest great. We ordered entrees, and a little while later our server came back and informed us they were out of 2 of the 3 entrees we ordered. My mother changed her order from venison to sea-bass and asked if she could sub the rice for the rosemary potatoes. The other entree was the steak, but since they were out of that one, we did the Wagyu steak entree instead. We waited 45mins to an hour for our entrees to show up. The manager was chatting to servers in the background, and quality checked every table around us. He walked past us multiple times and refused to stop or make eye contact. There is no way he didn't know that we were waiting. At this point our body language had shifted and we were getting fidgety. I tried to catch his attention to no avail. When the food arrived, my mother's dish still had rice. She asked if he asked about the potatoes, and was told chef had curated each dish to pair with certain flavors, so no substitutions. If we compromised on 2 of our 3 entrees, you can send out a side of mash. I feel as though the value was great, the food was delish, but management will be the demise of this concept.

This was my second time dining here, but the first time having Jason as my server, which made it a completely different and amazing experience. The food was to die for of course, but Jason made our entire night so enjoyable as he guided us through the courses.

Another smash hit for Chef Black. Went last night for dinner, no reservation. As soon as you hit the door, the SMELL is incredible. Not food. He's scented the restaurant. Aromatherapy. Absolutely lovely. And quite in line with the restaurant ambiance itself. Posh. Elegant. I'm tired. I'm wearing my favorite African garment and Crocs. Pure comfort. Surprisingly, most guests present were dressed comfortably too. The staff was SO welcoming and obliging. I think I could have shown up in ripped jeans and a t-shirt and felt welcome. So come as you are. All good. Now. The FOOD. I ordered the garlic scallops and butter beans with roti from the tasting menu. Butter beans and roti were a staple in my childhood. Can I share with you those were the best butter beans I've EVER tasted, and I've eaten them regularly for 45 years? The roti left something to be desired.... at first. My first batch was a bit flour-y, limp, and lacked salt. Under cooked. No crispy bits which were always my favorite bits as a girl! However, the butter beans themselves CARRIED the roti, and I winded up requesting 2 more pieces of roti (I ate the first two.). The second time round, the chef nailed it!!! Perfectly cooked. Crispy outer bits. Tender otherwise. Perfectly salted. Now, the roti rivaled the butter beans, and I was the happy benefactor from the war between them. The scallops were mid. Keep in mind that scallops are my absolute favorite dish. I will ALWAYS order them if they are on the menu. For my fellow scallop lovers, Culprits flaming scallops all the way, my friends. Or Ramseys. Or Sedalias. Would I order them at Perle Mesta again? Yaaaaaas queen! Chef Blacks mid is worthy of comparison with the aforementioned offerings that blew me away. Mid is still praise considering my comparators. ****Drum Roll Please**** I chose a vegetarian entree. The artichoke, truffle pasta dish. Because of Grey Sweater and Black Walnut, I know exactly what Chef Black can do with vegetables. It did NOT disappoint. I usually avoid truffle dishes because they're a strong flavor and are overused. I fell in love all over again with truffle in this dish. And the textures. And the visual appeal. And the flavors. And I NEED to wrap this review up because I'm strongly considering going back TONIGHT!!!!

Ordered 2 orders of chicken wings via room service. With tax, fees and tip, total cost was $50. Ridiculously overpriced.

Great food and great service! Was one of the best date nights we have had in a long time. Highly recommend!

Jason was great! Food was excellent. We did the seafood tower and if you are new to oysters... this is the time and place to try. I would have never thought to combine strawberry and oysters but it's really good!

PHENOMENAL! Server Jason was so kind and helpful! Food was delicious and came out quick. Great date night!

Great service. Jason was an amazing waiter and super fun to talk too. The sea bass was one of our favs.

Excellent from the start. Wonderful food and service. We really enjoyed our meal, and the drinks after at the red piano bar.

Came for Sunday brunch. Food was certainly not the quality expected by Chef Black. Biscuits were so hard that they were difficult to cut with a knife! Waffle Benedict had such a small amount of hollandaise that we weren't sure there was any! Will try dinner as the reviews seem good!

The food was awesome and so was service. It was a cool place for a datenight with great cocktails and tapas.

C - Average at best. Ambience was too quiet - Music would help cover the noise. C - Service is not as expected. C - having to order biscuits and gravy three times - as they were served cold?? Surprising as Black Walnut exceeds...

Disorganized, fail to keep reservations despite multiple confirmations. Exceedingly poor customer service.

The restaurant is beautiful. The food good - but not as good as Grey Sweater or Black Walnut. Service was awful. 45 minutes to receive drinks. No apology or explanation. Then they were out of a menu item - this should have been stated at the start, not when ordering said item. Asked for recommendations and the waiter clearly was not knowledgeable about the menu or wine pairings. Overall, a disappointing experience. And I love slow dining - but only when it is intentional and properly paced. Perle Mesta was a 3 hour experience of wondering when, and if, your order was going to arrive. I'd suggest they pause service and focus on training the front of house team.

My boss and I hosted a business dinner in the private dining room at Perle Mesta last night and we could not have been more pleased! The food was delicious and the service by Jason Pitman was outstanding! We are thrilled to have a top quality restaurant at the Skirvin Hilton Hotel again and will definitely be hosting more dinners!

Ate here 11/14/24. Three of us went thinking Chef Black, as a James Beard awarded chef would be putting down great food. We were WRONG. The appetizers were the F5 Kobe beef and scallops and the truffle oil and Parmesan crusted okra with candied lamb belly. 2 VERY small pieces of Kobe beef and 4 tiny scallops on a stick with some calamari were small and just OK. The okra was good but I had 3 BB sized candied lamb pieces ... very skimpy portion. We had the lavender duck, sea bass and venison. The venison and duck were good in the "thick" center but both were well overcooked on about 1/2 the protein pieces. The sides were pretty standard roasted potatoes and carrots (nothing special) and black rice with the sea bass. We were all disappointed in the food and for the $250 price tag for the 3 of us (4 glasses of wine in that price) it was much less that we expected. I would not recommend this restaurant. .
