Pera was the right place to have the first meaningful conversation with a good friend: smart interior design and lighting that traverse from front to back as if we are approaching a landing strip. The lighting is designed for intimacy: pendant lights hang from ceilings ; curvy cylindrical shades on wall sconces, along with lights from table lamps hide all blemishes making everyone looks young and beautiful ; an open view of the kitchen where magic of mezze is made and served...

Made a catering order for a team lunch. The group loved the Pera order! It’s a favorite for our group. It was a great process from order to delivery. We look forward to ordering again.

I stopped in at Pera as a first-time customer for supper after a long day of business travel and was not disappointed!

The food is a great take on typical brasserie fare. My meal arrived promptly, tasted great, and prices were quite reasonable for Midtown.

Service was efficient, friendly, and extremely attentive.

My only minor complaint is that the environment can get noisy.

I would not hesitate to return.
