Persimmon

Really happy we came here! We went with the chef’s tasting menu, and were very impressed by the creativity of the chef. Multiple dishes were like “I’ve never tasted anything like this’”. The combination of ingredients were often out of box but perfect. They also were very accommodating with our dietary restrictions, husband is gluten free and I have to eat fully cooked food with my pregnancy, so they did a fully customized thing for us, which was amazing and made us feel really special. Their menu obviously changes often, so it’s very nice to have seasonal, fresh ingredients. I can tell a lot of people here come repeatedly, which is another great sign. Overall definitely a place worth coming! Love the chef and our server!

I had very high hopes for Persimmon and it did not disappoint! Menu is great and very varied, showcasing local and in-season ingredients. Also loved the atmosphere with open kitchen and dim lighting. Server was somewhat lacking in knowledge about gluten-free menu items (it seemed at some points that she was guessing what wasn’t/was gluten-free), but after consulting chef she informed us what was gluten free. Our favourite dish was the scallops.

The chef tasting menu is absolutely worth it. The courses have multiple dishes that are all wonderful. I cannot eat gluten and they were able to adjust the menu for me. Don’t sleep on the asparagus soup, it’s amazing. 10/10 recommend! Our server, Julie, was incredibly polite, friendly, and accommodating!
