I went to Peristyle for the first time on Valentine's Day, unaware that there was a new chef in place. The menu was set and completely underwhelming. The service was mediocre at best and the dining room was very loud. I'm not sure if it was because of the holiday, but the tables were very close together and not private or romantic in any way. I had the vegetarian menu, which consisted of the same few vegetables: onions, mushrooms, and asparagus served in a different order for each course. My partner had the regular meat courses and agreed that the food was "good" but not "great." We were both served a chocolate soup for dessert that tasted like cold, melted bittersweet chocolate with some limp fruit dumped in the middle. At $350 dollars for two people, I expected a whole lot more than what Peristyle gave.
