Pear was great. I requested a quilter table and got one. In a little nook. Great table for my clients/guests to talk and socialize.

Pera is well located, a few blocks from Grand Central Station. We were a large group of 12, and this was a return visit. There is a nook off to the side where you can sit away from the other tables.

I always enjoy having early business dinners before jumping into Grand Central train. Kudos! Good quality remains outstanding. Hostess is always professional, courteous & accommodating with seating. Management does need to be mindful of hospitality training new staff serving the tables. Specifically, between servings - forgot to provide new silverware & asking all patrons at table about water & sugar / milk for their tea, coffee. Little things matter!
