Overview:

I have been to Perennial Virant a handful (well a large handful) of times since it opened. The menu is ever changing and I have had the entire menu for the past month or so and I can't find one dish that disappoints. Paul Virant came in and really created a special combination of elegance and neighborhood feel. It is a place to go to celebrate as well as meet some friends and sit on the patio for a casual night.

Recommended Dishes:

herb parisienne gnocchi, crispy carnaroli rice, smoked dietzler farm short ribs, pan-roasted walleye pike, carrots with lemon balm

Overview:

Had a great dinner at Perennial Virant, it was hard to believe this place just opened! The new decor, food and drink menus were amazing, and the service was attentive and ran smoothly.

I am a big fan of Boka Group to begin with and Paul Virant is a great addition to the team. The trout was a favorite, as was the pig face (although not on the menu yet it should be)! The chicken sausage was another favorite at the table.

Recommended Dishes:

Pig Face, trout, chicken sausage, really anything on the menu so far
