    Grilled Shrimp Bowl
    Frank O.

    Overall score is closer to a 4, but still giving a 5 to boost up the rating. The interior has nice decor, I want to spend an hour just looking at all the liquor bottles above the bar, plenty of space for large groups. The food was a solid 4, good taste and portion size, while the service was a bit lacking at the beginning. Came in a weekday for a late lunch. A few other groups already there. We sat in between two other groups, would have liked a bit of space. We were asked about our order immediately upon sitting, but then had a gap for maybe 6 min before we were asked again. Not sure if we were giving off a vibe, but we did look around a bit for the server. After ordering the food came out quick and was plated nicely. I was very satisfied with the Grilled Shrimp bowl. It looks deceptively small, but there is some depth to it and the hearty rice and beans are underneath. The flavors came together well, the salsa and pico, roasted corn, the grilled shrimp themselves, and some creaminess from the beans, just all around solid and would get again. The guacamole seemed like an afterthought, although it may have partially tempered heat from the salsa (but the creams and beans were doing this too). My other party members enjoyed their Guava Lemonaide, Enchiladas Verdes, and Carnitas Bowl. We finished our food and stayed at the table to chat, until we were ready to leave. Staff thanked us for coming.

    Oh my... Where do I start? Let's start with the pros: Ambience is cool. Looks like a fun spot to hangout at with a lively atmosphere and southwestern/latin inspired decor. Service seems decent as well. The cons: Food and drinks are not good. It seems to me like they are trying too hard. The dishes were lacking depth and flavor and it seems they try to focus on presentation rather than flavor. I got a chicken dish and it tasted unseasoned and the rice seemed stale. The green sauce on top of it was bland seems out of place. Appetizers were pretty mediocre and the drinks generic. This place has potential to be better but they really should focus on having cohesive dishes that are more flavorful.

    Great date night spot! My husband and I sat in the patio, the outdoor decor is so bright and fun! Margarita flight was refreshingly delicious! My fav was the white peach flavor! Appetizers were equally as good (chicken taquitos, and carnitas tetelas) we shared the fish tacos, they too had great flavor with spicy sweet mango drizzle. Our waitress was attentive and friendly! We will definitely return! Glad we had reservations because when we were leaving there were a lot of people waiting for seating.

    The food and service were good. I loved that they had a wide range of dishes that cater to all dietary restrictions. I was hesitant to try the Brussel sprout tacos but I'm glad I did. They were yummy.

    my first visit to this location! It definitely won't be my last. We were informed it would be a five-minute wait for our table, but we were seated in less than two minutes. Our waitress was incredibly friendly, attentive, and welcoming. The menu really caught my eye, and I had a wonderful time exploring the options. I look forward to returning soon!

    Brunch mimosa

    We came for the Sunday Brunch. I ordered a mimosa and my friend got the bottomless mimosas (a steal for $22 as opposed to one that is $10). I had the Chilaquiles. It was very flavorful with just the right mix of flavors. My friend had the Mexican Chop. She said it was very fresh and delicious. Will definitely be going back again!

    Skinny margarita

    Wow! Passing through Richland & spending the night. Thought we'd give the Perch a try. The atmosphere was contemporary Cantina. We had the brussel sprouts Nachos which were flavorful. Then I had the shrimp taco bowl. Again very tasty. My husband had the chicken poblano. He loved it. My skinny margarita was delicious. He had a Deschutes Pilsner. Throughly enjoyed our meal, drinks & attentive service from Ashely.

    Bar is empty however I can't get service? I would love to order a beer!

    I was staying at a hotel across the street and the front desk informed me that dining here can be hit or miss. I took a chance and sat myself at the bar and waited a few minutes before being noticed. When noticed, I inquired about beers on tap and ended up with a Modello which was cold and tasty. Tex Mex menu was limited and expensive for what was offered. I ordered (2) shrimp tacos sided with black beans and rice. The taco disintegrated when I picked it up from the plate making it impossible to eat as a taco and I ended up using a fork for the balance of my meal. Nice southwest atmosphere however not worth the $33. for 2 tacos and a beer! Will look at other dining options rather than give a second opportunity here. I know better and the number of 1 star Yelp ratings should have warned me!

    I had the unfortunate experience of dining at Perch recently, and it was nothing short of disappointing. I wish that I could give negative stars and wish we had listened to the bad reviews - giving benefit of the doubt in this scenario epically backfired.   Our wait was short to get in, which was the only positive thing I have to say about our experience at Perch. The building looked nice but since the walls are covered in tiles, there is zero sound absorption so it was near impossible to hear each other speak. The food lacked even a hint of seasoning, leaving each dish tasting bland and uninspired. We ordered the Mexican Mezze, which was beans, guacamole, queso, and tortillas. Each dip was unbelievably flavorless; the guac was just hard, unseasoned avocado; the beans were dry; and the queso had oil in it that made the dip slip off "chips."  The chips were three poorly fried torillas that were soft in the middle, making them difficult to rip and share; this choice made no sense as they had actual tortilla chips (we saw that other apps came with them). Don't even get me started on the prices; overpriced doesn't even begin to cover it. To add insult to injury, their alcoholic beverages were not only overpriced but also heavy-handed, making each $20 drink a regrettable choice. We tried 3 different drinks: the desert superbloom (the most expensive and most disgusting was 4 liquors mixed with a tiny dried flower), the Petro de Fresa, and the Mango Margarita, all of which tasted of pure alcohol with no added flavors--different from what the menu suggested were in the drinks.   The cherry on this crap sundae was the so-called "customer service,"  which would be better classified as disrespect, and the staff member we were given, Amanda K (the front desk girl told us our servers name was Anna E. But my receipt says Amanda)., was shockingly rude and aggressive. She walked up to our table extremely annoyed and didn't offer us a pitcher of water, like the rest of that table had (a small issue but definitely noticeable because of her behavior that followed her introduction). We were asked, "What do you want?" Even though we were off-put by her cold welcome, we decided to order drinks. Mind you, we are all well over the age of 21 (I am turning 27 this year), and before my friend could even finish what drink he was ordering, Amanda very disrespectfully cut him off with the most aggressive tone, demanding, "You're all going to need your ID's out." If she bothered to notice, we were all holding our wallets in anticipation of showing them. Even though she was rude, we replied, "Sure, we'll get them out," and as we're pulling them out, she seemed like she thought we were bluffing and said, "OKAY?! Go ahead" and put her hand on her hips. When she checked our ID's, she began stumbling over her words, realizing that we were all, in fact, over 21. She mean-mugged each of us as she checked our ID's; she "double" checked two of our ID's. She didn't even apologize for how horribly she treated us, and I wish we had just gotten up and refused service because the food and drinks were just as terrible. Overall, this was such a bad experience that I felt the need to write this. We tried giving the benefit of the doubt, but truly being open for a week could never justify Anna's appalling behavior towards us. Save yourself the trouble and steer clear of this establishment. Staff retraining is required at a minimum.

    Food is mediocre, the tacos are not impressive, too much juice on the bottom and very overpriced. Service is okay.

    Wow! Let's talk about the impressive honey butter shrimp tacos on a flour tortilla! So good! Not…read moreoverly sauced and definitely still healthy! Thank you for fresh, quality food. Hopefully this item becomes a regular on the menu.

    The local hotel suggested this place as it was new. So, I…read morefigured why not. Parking was good, but limited lighting and people sleeping in their cars. Upon walking in it wasn't too busy. The limited menu was on two of three screens in a hallway making it hard to read. Waited for a little while for my order to be taken. When I tried to ask a question, they referred me back to the menu which was now hidden by the next group of people in line. The proteins were the first part of the order. Even though it was only 8 PM, the uncovered meat containers were empty and what was available looked very dry and unappealing . and what was available, looked very dry and unappealing. at 8P, all the uncovered containers of meats we didn't look appealing. After the first part of my order was completed they asked if I wanted beans or rice. Looking at the selection of beans and rice. The refried beans were crusted and dried. The rice was just about gone and completely dried and the black beans appeared to have something floating on top of . I asked if they had more rice and they said yes they walked back to the beginning of the food preparation area. He stirred some rice up that was in a container and gave me about 1/4 of a cup of rice. I asked for some guacamole which is an up charge. They immediately put my food in a bag an dropped it off at the cashier station. The cashier was cleaning up, but returned to return to ring up the sale. Sadly, I wasn't done ordering my meal. The cashier was kind enough to complete my order. Upon getting back to my hotel and opening my food order I noticed a few issues. The meat, rice was very dry and tasteless. The guacamole was mediocre and for what I paid I could've bought 1 avocado and made my own guacamole. Overall, this restaurant has potential. The concept is good but the food presentation and preparation area needs to be more appealing to the customers eyes. I'm unsure if I'd recommend this place to anyone. Hopefully, I'll see a very positive review of this place in the future.

    Costa Vida - They ran out of cups for my chicken tortilla soup...and this is what they sent me...instead of asking me if I still wanted it.
