Old line neighborhood place that has maintained quality over many years. No frills atmosphere but the value is all there in the dishes. Top quality inputs with imaginative treatments

Solid place, we enjoyed the food quite a bit overall, and great service as well.
Cocktail could have been a bit better balanced and the pricing of the entrees was a bit steep for the quality. I would say the food is comparable to Clyde's or Glenwood's (fka Stanford Grill) in terms of MoCo spots.
We enjoyed the following:
Crispy Empanadas & Chipotle Dipping Sauce - delicious seasoned ground beef paired perfectly with the creamy aioli.
Tuna & Avocado Tartar, Crispy Wontons & Seaweed Salad - it was fine but have had better versions of this dish, just wasn't as fresh tasting as hoped
Sautéed Jumbo Lump Crab Cakes - With bacon mashed potatoes, roasted corn hash, and sweet corn sauce. My friend enjoyed his crab cakes, they're always good in MD, the crab quality does most of the work here.
Black & White Sesame Crusted Seared Tuna - With roasted red pepper, snow pea, bean sprout, red onion, couscous, and sweet chili sauce - this was also good but not epic.
Trio of Profiteroles -Cream puffs with vanilla ice cream, caramel & chocolate sauces. Simple but excellent.

Staff was amazing, food was wonderful! The only issue was a large table of over 20 people that were very loud and made it impossible to hold a conversation. Not the Restaurant's fault! All in all it was wonderful and we will be back soon!

Persimmon has been a mainstay for our family over the years. It is always a good/great meal. However, the menu does not change, which is frustrating. It's too expensive to be a regular dinner outing. It may be dropped out of our rotation.

Very basic menu basically seafood and meat but expertly prepared and served. Service was excellent considering how busy they were.

The duck confit salad was amazing. Very nice dressing. Just perfect. Our server was kind and appropriately attentive. Thank you.
I rarely write negative reviews about food, but I felt I had to share my experience at this place. The servers were wonderful and very attentive, but unfortunately the food was some of the worst I’ve had in all my travels. My husband ordered the lobster soup, which tasted exactly like canned tomato soup, no sign of lobster... I had the lobster roll, which was unpleasant at best, served with overly oily fries. Sadly, I can’t recommend this restaurant. I do hope the food improves, because the staff truly deserves better.

Great foood - amazing fresh fish - sea bass (rockfish) and halibut along with a terrific tuna tartare. Knowledgable wait staff but possibly a mess up in the kitchen and our entrees took a very long time to come out. The team comped us a desert which was very nice of them. Definitely a great local gem and a place we will continue to support and enjoy in the future. Everyone should try it! You'll be hooked by the service, the food and the welcoming atmosphere.
