I travel the east coast extensively and stumbled upon Persimmons last week for dinner with 3 business associates.The building is a visual delight the outside as well as the inside decor.The atmosphere was light & very energetic with a very gregarious server who was attentive & efficient.The menu was well thought out with classic standards that had a twist from the norm. Take for example our app. It was a calamari that was dusted lightly in what I think was rice flour and maybe cayenne pepper? The rice flour gives the calamari a new texture that accentuates the the whole experience it was also coupled with a spicy aioli instead of the cliche marinara or tartar sauce. Delicious is the only word to sum up this dish. Time constraints today to be continued.
