Walking into a place like that, you already brace yourself for the damage. You know the food is going to be overpriced. You prepare your wallet. You convince yourself it'll be worth it because the experience will match the price. And to be fair--the food was good. But the service? Absolutely unbelievable. A $116 service charge just to be practically invisible the entire night is insane. We weren't asking for royal treatment--just basic attention. Our waiter came to our table maybe three times, max. Three. Times. The rest of the evening we sat there like background decoration, watching everyone else get acknowledged while we waited... and waited. read more

What a great experience They truly know how to make your birthday feel special. I came here to celebrate my birthday on a busy Saturday night, and from the moment we walked in, the ambiance was amazing and everyone was so pleasant. We had reservations for 7:30pm, arrived around 7:15, and were seated almost immediately. Our waiter was incredibly nice and accommodating, especially when it came to adding an extra person to our party. I know a lot of restaurants aren't always willing to do that, so it was very appreciated. We also mentioned it was my birthday, and they truly went above and beyond to make the night special. We started with an appetizer, but unfortunately I think it may have been forgotten because we never received it. I was honestly really excited to try it, but even with that small issue, I still wasn't disappointed with the service at all. For drinks, I ordered the spicy margarita and WOW--it did not disappoint It had the perfect amount of spice and somehow made the margarita even better. For my main dish, I ordered the ribeye with potatoes, and when I say it was amazing, I mean it. The steak was packed with flavor, cooked perfectly, juicy, and not dry at all. Easily a 10/10. I was so full I couldn't finish the last piece, but my brother-in-law happily took it because it was just that good At the end of the night, they brought out a glass for everyone to cheers to my birthday, along with a candle to celebrate me, which was such a sweet touch. Everything about the night felt special and memorable. I honestly wouldn't have wanted to celebrate any other way. I can't wait to come back for another spicy margarita and enjoy the atmosphere all over again read more

Perch - Lounges Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Perch LA is definitely a restaurant with a view. From the live music to the rooftop city lights, the whole place had such a fun and vibrant ambiance. The staff were friendly, bathrooms were clean, and the rooftop after dinner was the perfect spot to hang out with a drink and enjoy the LA skyline. Cocktails were a great start to the night. I had the Summer Solstice - bright, fruity, and dangerously easy to drink. Hubby ordered the Otto, which gave old fashioned vibes. For starters, we shared the surf and turf skewers and French onion soup. Both were delicious, though I do wish the onion soup came with French bread to soak up all the cheesy goodness and flavor. For entrees, the Chilean sea bass was moist, flaky, and seasoned really well. The boeuf bordelaise was very tender, though slightly on the dry side. We ended with their famous bread pudding dessert and it absolutely lived up to the hype. Overall, such a great spot for date night, drinks, dinner, and rooftop views in the city. read more

This was my first time at Perch. I didn't have dinner. I went to the top and had drinks. They were made to perfection. Fascinating views all over LA. It cool vibe. There are some couches and chairs to sit. First come , first serve. It can be packed there . I was able to gets seats when I went. The only bad part was the dirty bathrooms. read more

Food review will be included in the pics. Just an FYI, if you have a big group(9+) prefix menu will be required. Service was good overall. Thought that the time between courses (prefix) was a bit long. But maybe they waited for everyone to finish. But overall, attentive to all our needs. Ambience was classic. Chairs were a bit combursome. Tough to move even needed. Otherwise, great environment. read more

The restaurant is located upstairs and requires taking two elevators to get there. There's no designated parking or valet, but we parked in the structure next door for $14. Made a reservation ahead of time for 12 PM on a Friday for a group. I was a little disappointed that we weren't able to get the rooftop/outdoor seating we requested. I ordered the steak frites and brussels sprouts. Service was fast, and the food came out delicious. The steak and fries were cooked perfectly, while the brussels sprouts were good but nothing too memorable. Service was just okay. Our waitress only checked on us once and didn't seem very friendly. Still, the food and overall experience make it a place worth trying at least once. read more

Perch - Steak Frites - Lounges Near Me - Los Angeles, California

Perch has been on my to-go list for so long I couldn't recall why I added it. We came here for an early pre-show dinner on a warm afternoon. We sat outside in the patio and the shade wasn't fully effective in blocking out the setting sun. The service was really good. The waitress was attentive and our water was constantly being refilled. We chose a few of their most popular dishes and we all enjoyed our food. The steaks were cooked perfectly but the cuts were good but not great. The frites were not the greatest. Maybe it would've been better if it was a little more well done. we thought maybe just having it plain would be better. But we enjoyed our food and our time at Perch. We did try to go to the bar but you have to be 21 after 6pm so we took a quick look and headed to Grand Central for some ice cream for dessert! read more

My sister-in-law was in the city for a class on Saturday, so I wanted to treat her to lunch for her to actually see downtown. I thought, what better place with a lovely concrete jungle view (hah). We arrived around 1:30 ish and it was a little busy, but we were seated right away on the outdoor patio. She was in awe of the lovely aesthetic and the view. We ordered almost immediately. I went with the Noix de Coco cocktail and the Smoked Salmon Benedict, which came with potatoes. Everything was fantastic. My sister-in-law kept it simple with a sweet tea and The Perch Burger. She loved both the burger and the fries. I've been to the bar at Perch about four times with my husband, but this was the first time trying the restaurant for a meal. The food did not disappoint, and the vibe is just as wonderful during the day, although, nothing beats the view of the city lights at night. I will definitely be back for brunch with my husband to enjoy more of the food. read more

This is an interesting building I must say my experience here was good. You have to catch a few elevators to get to the top two floors. There are some stairs that you can take also to get to the top few floors, you can get some exercise for sure, cuz the elevator takes some time at times. The 15th floor is the restaurant and the 16th floor is the rooftop bar. The restaurant is French food so the cuisine is that way. The rooftop bar is chill, they have two bars and seating throughout, which is first come first serve. There are a few fire pits scattered around the area on the 16th floor. The crowd was happy and chill and we were able to get seated and chill for an hour. The drinks are decent and priced average. There is security on each floor and at the front door. Security was actually nice throughout the building. There is a sister business of Perch next door called Mrs. Fish, it's Japanese. We enjoyed our time here. read more

If you love stunning views and a cool, chill vibe, this is the spot! The rooftop is on the 16th floor. They have fire pits, comfy lounge chairs, and couches to relax with your date or friends. It gets pretty busy, so you might find yourself standing around. You have to take 2 elevators to get to the top and there is a strong security presence. There's multiple restaurants on different floors. We ventured to one the main one on the 15th floor, but didn't stay or try the food because we were tapped out! They also have a DJ on Saturdays starting at 10am. This is definitely a popular spot and worth it. Of course no parking in DTLA, but they do have valet parking. read more

Finally visited this roof top bar/restaurant however, would not recommend casually visiting during Monday afternoon. Serving staff is limited and the tables are usually reserved. The host were nice but floor staff were either having group conversations or too strict with empty tables via rooftop. I couldn't really enjoy the experience of this art deco style rooftop. Couldn't even take pictures as a server told me I wasn't allowed. There was no space to really view the landscape and enjoy my drink. They forced open service in one section among numerous empty tables. Tried to make a reservation but the times were too stretched. If you want casual drinks and not eat, wait until after 8pm. It'll be less awkward standing, at least have high tables or side bars for non dining patrons. I won't force myself to return. There's better rooftop bars. To add, you'll have to take two lifts to access the restaurant. Restrooms are behind bar upper level. Recommend book a reservation to enjoy the view at least. Happy hour is lack luster, not really worth it. The best service was from the security, host, and bar staff. Not the servers. read more

A lot of hype surrounding this spot and it definitely met expectations. Took my gf here to celebrate our 1 year anniversary, so I had reservations booked through OpenTable in advance. Thought the entrance was cool with the aquariums built into the wall. The hostess was attentive and checked us in in a timely manner. Was unsure if we were going to be able to get a seat on the outdoor patio, but the hostess made it happen. It was a pretty view of the city and it wasn't too noisy out there either. Ideal place for a date night. Server was amazing and explained the menu well. Additionally, the rooftop bar was a nice vibe for a post-dinner drink. Moving onto the food, I saw reviews saying the food was overrated and they mostly went for the view. However, I thoroughly enjoyed it. We went for the Dine LA menu and were happy with the portions of food they served. The set Dine LA 3 course menu was perfect for the both of us. Assorted Charcuterie, 8.5/10: Prosciutto, salamis, and cheeses were all great. Surprised by the portion, since it was more than expected. Some funky cheeses, some more tame. Good variety for sure. Wish they added more gherkins to the dish. Braised short rib, 8.8/10: Very well executed dish. Easily my favorite. You can tell the short rib was braised for a while. The accompanied mashed potatoes and stewed vegetables were great additions. Classic. It was also seasoned exceptionally. A comforting and satisfying dish that is a must try. Would definitely go back for this. Steak and frites, 8/10: Solid steak and frites. Uniquely different with the frites in the cream sauce. I appreciate the flavors with the frites, but it inevitably made the frites a bit soggy. The steak was seasoned well. I opted for a medium rare, but it came slightly closer to medium. Chocolate pot de creme, 6.5/10: We were cracking up for a good minute when the dish first came out because the shapes of the "pots de creme" were vaguely reminiscent of what my toilet bowl looks like after Taco Bell. Anyways, the flavor of the chocolate wasn't too sweet and it was nicely paired with fresh berries. The berries were a nice touch, although I wish they added more. Honestly could not get over the shape of the chocolate pots. Very amusing, so +0.5 point. Overall, pretty solid set menu course for the Dine LA special. With a stunning view x 2. read more

We sat outside on the patio at sunset and had an incredible view! It was easy to make a resy, we did it just a day or two before. Since we got to the restaurant at 5:15, we were able to try a bunch of different appetizers for the happy hour deal. I'd definitely recommend doing that if you're on a budget, as the main entrees tended to be more pricey. Service was nice and attentive! Even though we were tucked away in the back a bit, our waiter came pretty frequently to check in on us. One thing to note is that they don't seat you until you have your full party, unless you're ok with having less time at your table with your full party (I think it's about 1.5 hours). read more

There is no shortage of delicious food here. The Brussels sprouts are amazingly good. Steak frites has to be ordered twice. The Bouillabaissie is a must ! Server was fantastic once we got sat down. I gotta mention that we did wait quite a bit past our reservation time on a Saturday. I think the food makes up for it. Ambiance is pretty loud inside on a Saturday. Balcony is definitely quieter and the view is amazing. Parking is not so great. I don't recommend valet seeing how they just randomly park your cars on the street next to fire lane. I also don't recommend the Metro lot coz I heard lots of thefts there. I parked at the lot around the corner operated by Athena Parking. It's 2 mins walk and it's well lit with camera. read more

We were seated outside and had the view of the surrounding buildings with the sunset in the background.

I've been here a couple of times and it's always been a good one! Usually for peoples birthdays so I feel like it's a great spot to celebrate something because it's a nicer restaurant. It's located on a rooftop in downtown LA so there are great views. I typically go with the steak frites which is amazing and what I would definitely recommend. I've also had the chicken gnocchi which was great and the Brie as an appetizer. The drinks are also really good and pretty which is a huge plus! It's such a vibe to be on the rooftop with a yummy cocktail read more

First time at Perch. Had a good experience. Cool hangout spot. Food/Drinks: We didn't order any food. The drinks were strong. I also didn't see any menus on the rooftop either for food. Not sure if they allow orders from the rooftop. The bar is small with a lot of people in line so jump in line ASAP to get your drinks going. Service: The staff was great. They smile and can have a nice conversation with the guests. It definitely makes a difference when you can laugh with staff. Atmosphere: It was a great Atmosphere with a large crowd. The one downfall is that its a small space on the rooftop and the seating gets full quick. So if you're not there early you end up standing all night. Also they don't have any music playing which is fine but it helps. Maybe something not too loud but enough for the small space to have another element to it. Just my opinion! The seating is also like a backyard kind of vibe. Nothing nice or fancy just so you know. It's super relaxed and chill. Location: It's in DTLA on Hill St. Same building as Ms. Fish. It also dosent have a visible sign from a distant so you won't see the name perch until your right up on it. It can be easily missed if your driving by. Price: drinks are online with the average. About $12-18 depending on what you order. Parking: It's DTLA just valet unless you like walking a couple blocks and honesty the prices are not that far off. You can pay $12 and walk or pay $17 and valet with door service. read more

Downtown LA can feel a little sketch on the way in -- BUT the second you hit the upper floors of this spot, it's like stepping into a whole different world. Crisp air, buzzing energy, and a crowd that ranged from date-night couples to big celebrations. Total vibe shift. We were lucky enough to be seated in their tucked-away private dining space overlooking massive glass panes and the LA skyline -- plus our own private restrooms (honestly felt VIP without trying). Food? Ridiculously good. From the appetizers -- spinach quiche with goat cheese and surf-&-turf kabobs -- to mains like steak frites and truffle pasta... everything came out flavorful and in generous portions. I was already full when my entrée arrived and still kept eating because it was THAT good. The top floor bar is adorable and lively, with super welcoming staff making anything from creative mocktails to strong classics. And the cherry on top: a live jazz band with singers pouring their hearts into old-school classics and throwback hits. Come for the food, stay for the music, leave forgetting you're even in downtown LA. read more

Let's start with the positives. Short wait time, could hear live music from where we were seated. I personally had the steak frites and it wasn't anything to really write home about. I felt as though my steak was overcooked a little and the food didn't really wow me. My husband enjoyed the egg plate. Now for the negatives. We found the longest hair in the French toast my child was eating. Totally grossed out. Told the waiter and he switched it for another plate but the dining experience was already ruined at that point. No other attempts at derive recovery which was disappointing. Not sure I can recommend to others. read more

Visiting town decided to come here on a Saturday night. I suggest making reservations, they accept walks-in but the wait can be hours. You can also sit down at the bar and order food there. We went with option B and got lucky to find seating at the bar. The service needs major improvement. The bar staff was not friendly or attentive. Whenever you would say thank you, you wouldn't even get a you are welcome or any acknowledgement bac. Aside of the unremarkable customer service, the drinks were also mediocre. Another customer complaint and the bartender told him that improvement is "work in progress". For food we did order truffle fries, Turf and Surf skewers, octopus. The fries were delish highly recommend, the skewers were good too. The octopus was not cooked right and it was too chewy, we barely touched it. At no time were we asked how the food was or if we needed anything. Thankfully there was a manager walking by and did ask how everything was which we appreciated. In a kind way we let him know about our dish and he was able to rectify the octopus situation. I will say the outside does have very pretty views. Other than that I wouldn't really come back. read more

Food and drinks were amazing so was the service. Paid $35 for valet, and tipped him $20. Just to go back home to realize they curb rashed my back right rim on my brand new 2025 Corvette Z06. I filed a complaint, and requested for them to review their cameras and they didn't want to comply. Very unprofessional for them to say that moment the vehicle leaves the restaurant they can't do anything about it. Don't recommend using valet on an expensive car. They didn't even refund the parking. read more

Perch absolutely delivered. I ordered the steak frites and the chicken supreme, and both were executed beautifully. The steak frites were cooked perfectly--tender, flavorful, and paired with crispy fries that had just the right amount of seasoning. Simple, classic, and done right. The chicken supreme was juicy and comforting, with rich flavor that felt elevated without being heavy. The ambiance is warm and inviting, making it a great spot for a relaxed dinner that still feels special.

The food was delicious. We had a smattering of all the appetizers not a single one didn't miss, my favorite was the arancini but a few in the party really enjoyed that roast beef sandwich sandwiches. I liked that the food didn't take too long, but didn't come out right away, that bothers me. These pieces came out exactly in the timing I prefer.
