PERRY'S STEAKHOUSE & GRILLE ‘STEAKS' ITS CLAIM IN CHAMPIONS COMMUNITY

-Restaurant to Bring Urban Dining Experience to Suburban Community Beginning First Week of April-

HOUSTON (January 20, 2005) – Perry's Steakhouse & Grille, the Houston-based, family-owned restaurant renowned for exceptional service, dining and casual elegance, remains on schedule to open its first location in the Champions area of Northwest Houston within the first week of April 2005.

Perry's Steakhouse & Grille, the restaurateur's fourth steakhouse and eighth Perry's concept restaurant to open in the Houston area, represents Perry's Restaurant Group's first venture into Northwest Houston.

Based on their success in The Woodlands area, customer demand and Champions' thriving community, Perry's representatives believe it's a natural fit and perfect timing for their new venue.

"Opening a location in the Champions area was a simple decision," said Chris Perry, president and CEO of Perry's. "Perry's, just like the Champions community, continues to grow and expand. And considering that a considerable amount of our Woodlands' patrons come from the Champions area, it makes perfect sense."

Perry's Steakhouse & Grille, renowned for creating a casually elegant atmosphere and eclectic ambiance, will be located close to Highway 249 near the intersection of Cypresswood and Cutten Rd. at 9730 Cypresswood Dr. as part of the 22-acre Raveneaux Office Park development.

"The Champions location is a prime example of the evolution of our concepts and restaurants," stated Perry. "As new members in the community, we look forward to showcasing our latest and greatest venue to our neighbors in Northwest Houston."

The 12,500 square-foot restaurant will accommodate more than 400 people and feature seven private dining rooms, including Perry's signature wine tower room. Perry's signature, climate-controlled wine tower will stand approximately 26 feet tall and provide private dining for eight.

Perry's Steakhouse & Grille also will feature a cocktail lounge and bar separate from the dining area and a partially-covered outdoor patio.

An exquisite Sunday jazz brunch will treat customers to a light, lively musical atmosphere. The live jazz will also be played during Wednesday through Saturday evenings.
