What Brittany Franecki doesn't like about Persimmon:
Food was not hot, luke warm at best. Server couldn't answer simple questions about the menu or the fireworks cruise after dinner. Very disappointed with the whole meal. Fireworks we're awesome! View all feedback. What Sonja Rosenberg likes about Persimmon:
It took over 10 minutes for anyone to acknowledge our party once we were seated. It took another 10 minutes to even be asked if we wanted drinks. We took that opportunity to place appetizers although not asked. After we were well done with our appetizers and the table cleared the waiter finally came to ask our dinner order. The food was great, the cocktails were just ok. Service left a lot to be desired. View all feedback.

Guests had mixed experiences at the restaurant, with some highlighting the great ambiance, good food, and excellent service, while others were disappointed with slow service, overcooked food, and bland dishes.

Food and Service was excellent as usual. 1/2 price wine on Tuesdays is always an excellent choice.
