Nice staff, food was ok!

Went there for dinner last night. Ordered the sliced steak. Asked the server to ensure it was medium rare as he indicated they normally make it medium to medium well. He said kitchen normally doesn't take requests but we asked nicely that can you please make sure it's not over done and have it pink inside. Steak came back charred, very well done with zero pink. What was upsetting is that we gave them ample communication before hand and there was zero care done to make sure steak is done right as per request of the customer. Server said that sauce makes it look darker. We asked for the manager and told him that our request to have the steak done what I will call properly was not honored. He indicated that they can make it that way but they are so busy that they can't pay attention to individual orders. I will conclude that place is run like a factory and they don't have time to pay attention to details as long as the money is rolling in. It was packed to the brim so Pera is not hurting for businness. Not sure of why anyone would serve steak charred as a normal course of preparation and then make sure it's well done even after the customer asked nicely to ensure it was prepared to their liking. It was $35 for a small piece of steak slices and I feel ripped off leaving the restaurant. The vegetarian menu was very limited and the entire meal inclduing the drinks were ordinary. We spent a few hundred for mediocrity all the way and none of us will ever return to Pera NYC.

My two friends and I went pre-show and had a very nice dinner. Servers were great and the food was delicious. I would eat here again and I loved the small demitasse cups the coffee came in. 😀

Nice sit down restaurant. Reasonably priced. The watermelon salad was outstanding. The bakhlava was outstanding. My steak dish was good. The service was a bit wanting. A bit slow. No bread served with salad. Would have been 5 star otherwise.
