About Perry's
Chef Masako's kitchen gives the menu a Japanese backbone: nigiri and maki platters, karaage, udon with clams, salmon teishoku sets and seasonal specials, served in a wood-and-window dining room or up on a rooftop deck with white tablecloths, lime-green chairs and string lights over the rowhouse roofs of Adams Morgan. The drag brunch is the fixture that fills Sundays, with performers working the room between tables. Dinner runs nightly from 5 PM, from 4 PM on Friday and Saturday, closing at 9 or 10. Happy hour gets busy and a little hectic. Cocktails draw specific praise for balance and presentation, and long-time regulars name their favorite servers. Pricing is moderate for the neighborhood, and the mood is neighborly and relaxed rather than scene-driven. It holds a 4.7 rating from about 1,600 Google reviews, among the strongest for any rooftop dining room in the city.
