We came here to celebrate our anniversary, and I still find myself thinking about coming back! We happened to arrive around the time they were opening up the rooftop by removing the umbrella covering, which was an experience in itself. Between the historic location, incredible views, good drinks, great music, and waiters dressed like they just stepped off a runway, the entire place has such a classy, upscale feel. It really gives you that quintessential LA experience! And the food? Amazing. Everything came together to make the evening feel special, and I can honestly say this is a place I'd love to return to! Definitely one to revisit!
My service was outstanding! Eric has been very helpful and kind! The atmosphere is perfect for a date night, birthday etc. I came here for wine because I needed to sip something sophisticated and I came here to try and I love the house blend! It met my expectations !
We had a great time at Perch! We all ordered the four-course prix fixe, and it's a great value. You get an appetizer, a salad or another course, a main, and a delicious dessert. Between us, we had two orders of the short rib, one fish, and one chicken. My only real criticism was the seasoning. It feels strange to say about beef bourguignon, but I thought it lacked a bit of flavor, and we found ourselves reaching for the salt across all the dishes. The coleslaw that came with the cheese was to die for . Weirdly my favorite dish. And it's really just a garnish, but I loved it The desserts were phenomenal, and the drinks were very good too. The waitstaff was wonderful. They seemed busy, so clearing between courses was a little slow, but everyone was warm and welcoming. Overall, we had a lovely evening, and I highly recommend it. We had a reservation, and I'd recommend making one!
My wife and I were celebrating our 3rd wedding anniversary and Perch was the place we agreed on. We ate at Mrs.Fish last year and loved it so it made sense to come back to the same spot to check our the cool looking restaurant on the roof. You enter this place through a lobby, take an elevator, take another elevator, and then come out into one of the coolest looking places in downtown. The restaurant itself has indoor seating (including a bar if I'm not mistaken) as well as seats outside with an amazing view of the city. Our waiter for the night was super pleasant and so was the people refilling waters and cleaning the tables off. We both ended up doing the set menu option which gives you something to share, an appetizer, an entree, and a dessert which seemed like a solid enough deal to try. Here's what I consumed. Perch Fromage & Charcuterie- This was fine. I ate the meat and my wife at the rest since she's vegetarian. Pork Belly- Small but super tasty piece of pork belly, great flavour. White Chocolate Bread Pudding- It was my first time eating this dish period and it was pretty dang good. Steak & Frites- One of my favourite dishes done very right. The steak itself was cooked medium rare and was so freaking good I could drool just thinking about it. The best part of the dish wasn't even the steak, it was the frites. The french fries were drenched in the most delicious garlic sauce I think I've ever had. Insanely good. Chocolate Pot de Crème- Ate half of this and enjoyed it. It was like a mix of fudge and chocolate brownie.....or something like that. Overall, Perch has absolutely become one of my favourite places to go downtown. The staff here were super friendly, the views and restaurant itself were wonderful, and the food was delicious. I can't wait to take friends and family here when they visit!
Perch LA is a true gem. Fantastic views good food and of course great service. Since it's in DTLA parking of course would be an issue so do plan on Valet Today was a simple brunch and as we are not really alcohol drinkers, our pairing was with Saratoga Sparkling water. Which actually is my fave I know it's not mineral water but it's still very refreshing Did a quick Sunday brunch and surprisingly there were several good choices Like the vibe here and of course the view ( did I mention that already?)
Been to perch several times and I've always had a good time. The steak frites has always been my favorite and hits the spot each time. The filet mignon is cooked right and the fries with the truffle sauce are very good. The bacon and mac n cheese is really good and has the right amount of cheese. The ribeye is good too but I'd rather get the steak frites. The burgers at perch are pretty hefty in size and are packed with flavor. The ambience here is really nice as it's a rooftop restaurant on the 15th floor as they also have a rooftop bar on the 16th floor. I've been here during the day and night, but the night usually tends to be better. The overall view of DTLA and overseeing Pershing square is cool to have when dining. Getting reservations here is relatively easy and I'm glad they're open late (1:30 AM on some days). Service here is good. Definitely worth visiting. I usually just park at the Pershing square lot as it's just a walk across the street from the restaurant.
Had a nice brunch here today. The patio is great with wonderful views.. actually got a good table for once! Thinks we're starting off great! The food falls into the "just fine" category. Nothing offensive , nothing great . Could also be what we ordered l, but I have a feeling it's the case for this place. You're here for the view. We had baked Brie (pass) Shrimp cocktail (4 large shrimp served with mignonette and cocktail sauce) - the best dish we had. Ice cold shrimp. What's not to like. Ceviche (hard pass) Cheese fries (pass) /ask for regular fries. They are prolly better than the weird congealed cheese in too Cheese board (pass)- some of the cheese was hard as a rock. Nothing special (pass) Service was almost nonexistent. Our server disappeared to never been seen again after taking our order. Would be back for the view. Just don't hold your breath for great food
The pros: The ambiance of this place was perfect. We had dinner with beautiful rooftop views, intimate lighting, and an upscale feel. They even had a band playing live with a wonderful singer. The cons: The food was mediocre at best, especially for the price. The truffle fries were lukewarm and soggy. The braised short rib was grossly unflavored. The chicken had good flavor but not a lick of salt. The broccolini was also not enjoyable. I barely ate my food, and it was not worth taking home. Also, I put in the reservation that it was my friend's birthday. We asked to split the check which she didn't. Then I had to track down the server to have her send over the birthday treat. This place has a lot of potential, especially for a date night. However, the food has a lot of room for improvement.
We've been here many times for dinner and always loved it, so we decided to come for Sunday brunch and were quite disappointed. It's been a minute since we've come all the way down to DTLA to eat so hopefully our experience is just indicative of the brunch and not the overall food. Food - mediocre at best. We started with a bellini, coffee, and the ahi tower which were all very good, but after that it went south. My husband ordered the bacon and cheese omelette which hardly had any cheese in it. The potatoes, although they looked crispy, were soggy on both of our dishes. My husband also found a hair in his and we debated sending it back but ultimately decided we didn't want to wait for them to make a new one so he just pulled it out and we did our best to pretend he hadn't found one. I had the salmon benedict. The english muffin was so hard, I eventually asked the woman who was refilling the water to bring me a steak knife (the server hadn't come back to check on us for quite a while). She did, and even then, I still had trouble cutting through it. I've literally never had an english muffin that hard and chewy before. There was a nice amount of salmon though and the eggs were cooked the way they should be. Service was okay. Like I said, it would've been nice if the server would've come back to check on us a few minutes after we tried our food instead of half way through when I'd already asked someone else for a knife. The menu itself is pretty uninspired-- especially for a restuarant of this caliber. The brunch menu has basic items and they bring nothing unique or special to them. We've had much better versions of omelettes and eggs benedict from restaurants that are half the price. All in all, we spent $115 for a coffee, a bellini, ahi tower, and two entrees plus tax and tip. When you factor in the $20 valet fee, I think it's fair to expect more than what we received. As usual, the view and ambiance was great. Like I said, we've consistently had a good experience at dinner at Perch, but we definitely will never go back for brunch.
l've been wanting to try this restaurant for awhile. We finally got in and I think it was worth it. The service was great and the food was amazing. We had the preset menu. The starters especially the Pork Belly and the baked Brie were super yummy. My short rib was absolutely melt in your mouth. The sea bass was also a winner. We had the White Chocolate Bread Pudding and the Chocolate Pot de Crème. Both were delicious. I am usually do not like to eat outside because l am a clean freak and don't like bugs sharing my food. However, I was pleasantly surprised at how lovely it was up on the roof. No bugs in sight. My only one suggestion is that a purse hanger or stool would be nice. Thank you.
The decor is old world , sea shanty style. It has a nice roof top section that allows you to downtown from the 15th floor. It's a nice view. Parking was a bit of a problem so I took advantage of the valet service. 17.50. For valet. I ordered the Chilean sea bass. It came out on a bed of mushroom risotto. This meal was awesome. My friends said what they had was good but I forgot what they ordered. Service was excellent as well.
This might be one of the best rooftop experiences I have had in my life. I appreciated the whole vibe from the old Gatsby-esque elevator situation to the food. We had suitcases which were handily stored for us in a closet at the elevator transfer station (amazing). Food was 10/10 I got the french onion soup and the boneless spare rib. Spare ribs melted in my mouth and fell apart with the touch of a fork. French onion soup was solid. Wish I had stayed longer on the top floor for more drinks, but I will be back.
For over a decade I've always relied on Perch as my go to spot in downtown between this and the Biltmore hotel Pershing Square is a great place for a leisurely romantic themed hang. This restaurant has two different cultures daytime brunch in the sky and nighttime date night. It's a great blend of architecture atmosphere for this high volume. High energy exciting space. The great servers are well trained at high volume so are the hostesses and hosts who see you and know the lay of the land. Their is a no-bs attitude to the host stand which is not as welcoming as one would like especially on a date night. Perch is notorious for being backed up due to their 'elevator sitch' so just know that the reservation time you have made and the time you are called to be seated can be upwards of 45 minutes later. But the rooftop and bar area are perfectly positioned for those who are waiting. The lower energy bartending staff seems very over-it but I blame the sadly-entitled clientele for this! However, The food we had made up for all of this though and was truly wonderfully made. The charcuterie was one of the largest in the entire city. The salad with salmon was perfect to split, and our awesome server was able to do so between two plates. I loved the Chicken Supreme. And our beautiful sorbet Treo to accompany it. This is a great date night place however think early think Sunset if you would like a more European urban vibe because as the sunsets this place becomes very very different. The patron go from sipping champagne in the early afternoon to downright loud and very trashed at night many patrons loudly. The trending but the very unaware habit of loudly FaceTiming one's friend for the duration of their meal with no regard whatsoever for any other diner, will sadly be unchecked. Also, as it gets even later, the client tell switch is entirely to what can know cannot be any better described than as 'ratchet'. Perch loses it luster, and it becomes a holding pen for cat fights, and potential nighttime brawls but if you're celebrating an anniversary through it in the early. And a larger baby shower should ONLY be during the brunch hours of the beautiful daytime. Thank you to all that do make Perch wonderful we have and will continue to go to your beautiful space. We will and have continued to recommend (and still warn) people about this place for a decade. The great parts of Perch are still very much what makes DTLA a great experience in the sky. Please Stay Safe & Thank You!

I went to Perch with a group of 5 around 5:30pm on a Wednesday evening. We had booked reservations about a month in advance and had managed to get a really great table at the corner overlooking Pershing Square. It was before daylight savings, so we were able to get some great photos before the sun set and also watch it set. We parked in Pershing Square which wasn't too bad and just walked a couple blocks over to Perch. When you make reservations, they let you know about the dress code (upscale casual - no shorts, sports jerseys, etc.) and that each person must order an entree. It definitely does seem like the spot is all about the view, which is fine with me because it is pretty amazing. It is a little pricey which is to be expected, but it's also French cuisine which is expensive to begin with. Our table was pretty basic and we only ordered the steak frites or the salmon. Food: - Steak Frites - cooked my taste at medium rare, but the fries were a little overboard. They were heavily drenched in a sauce with a lot of truffle. If I would do it over, I would nix the sauce next time. - Brussel Sprouts - got a side to share, which were excellent! Super crispy and great flavor. - White Choclate Bread Pudding - We were all pretty stuffed after, but decided to share this after. It was also quite a hit! Definitely would recommend saving space for it at the end. Overall, would recommend this spot just to experience the amazing view of LA. The food and service are pretty decent as well, but you're paying for the atmosphere and the views. Definitely will have to go later next time for drinks with the view as well. read more

Beautiful view and atmosphere. Service was okay. Food was really good and enough for shareable amounts. Would recommend for a celebratory night or date night! read more
Beautiful spot! Make sure to book a reservation they get really booked up. The food was basic (nothing wow factor) but nevertheless delicious. It came out extremely fast within 15 mins. We ordered the omelet, bread assortment basket (also pretty boring), and Huevos Rancheros. Drinks were REALLY strong and good! Cheers to the bartenders I like them! They have umbrellas but they don't have a ton of shade. They also have a rooftop bar... only for drinks no food. Parking - there's valet parking for $13 (card/credit) and regular street parking but very minimal (2hrs for $3). There's a few Garages we saw, but have at least $30 on you. I'd come back just for the drinks, views, and vibes. Price for 2 entrees, bread assortment basket, and 4 drinks $110 fairly reasonable honestly! read more
The rooftop French bistro offered sunset skyline views of Downtown Los Angeles. Perch was serious about their upscale casual dress code. My baseball cap was asked to be checked in before I was allowed to enter. It stated on the menu that table seatings are limited to 1 hour 30 minutes. A 4.5% Safety and Security service charge is added to all guest checks. Vintage and baroque decor. Atmosphere was lively and fast paced. The service was attentive and efficient. 5*Pork Belly with coriander picked apples, frisée, and maple-sherry vinegar glaze. Frisée was sprinkled with spicy chili sauce. Pork belly was excellent, tender , juicy and flavorful. 5*Wild Mushroom Risotto with parmesan and mascarpone cheese: rich and delicious. 5*Bouillabaisse included fruits de mer, linguisa sausage, seasonal vegetables, and shellfish broth. The fish stew was authentic and delicious, especially when you dipped the toasted bread into the soup. It was heavenly! 5* Ribeye: medium rare 12oz Ribeye steak was cooked perfectly. 4.5*Plate Provencal included red quinoa, asparagus, broccolini, heirloom beets, eggplant puree, frisee, and peas. Natural, healthy and tasty. 3*CHOCOLATE POT DE CRÈME-- valrhona chocolate custard, seasonal berries, and sprinkled with fleur de sel salt to enhance flavor. The dessert was ordinary, not on par with the other dishes. We were underwhelmed. read more

I had been wanting to go to Perch forever, and the day finally came! I didn't expect to have so much anticipation just taking the elevator upstairs. When you enter the dining room it's warm and luxurious (what I imagine a Gatsby party would feel like) and then it opens into the outdoor seating area with live music. The city lights and soft sunset were so worth it. Dishes we tried: -Octopus: you only get a single tentacle, but it was ..a great one. The bed of citrus salad brightened the appetizer up well. -Filet mignon: delicious. -Scallops: large and perfectly cooked (again loved the salad). -Boeuf bordelaise: hearty and substantial. -Creme brulee: I enjoyed this! It was delicately floral and silky smooth. The accompanying shortbread cookies were mediocre. -Almond cake: warm and moist, the relatively less sweet cake was balanced by the vanilla ice cream. Overall the food was okay/slightly better than I expected but I think most would agree that the reason people come to Perch is not for the food. Also, we had come on my friend's birthday and honestly it's a little lame that they don't do anything special/even a small dessert (all they do is place a candle on one that you order yourself). As for drinks, I panic-picked the Berry LA which is a simple and sweet berry/floral vibe. I'd probably choose something else next time. Finally, what made the experience amazing was that a server (I think his name was Mark?) who wasn't even assigned to our table showed us incredible hospitality. He'd check in on us as he walked by, he took photos for our group, and went out of his way to get us to the rooftop ahead of the long line even though we mentioned we just wanted to look at the view/probably wouldn't get drinks. He was so friendly and very funny! Anyway, now that I've finally come to Perch, I can finally say my LA experience is complete. read more

For my girlfriends birthday i thought it would be a great idea to enjoy the view in downtown LA so I recently had the pleasure of dining at The Perch, and I was thoroughly impressed! The restaurant has a stunning rooftop view of downtown Los Angeles, and the food was delicious. I started with the roasted cauliflower with truffled honey, which was perfectly cooked and had a great flavor. For my main course, I had The Perch burger which was excellent with the thyme fries The service at The Perch was excellent. Our server was knowledgeable about the menu and made great recommendations. He also made sure that our glasses were always full. Speaking of drinks i highly recommend the "My Fair Lady" and i believe it was the "Perch Penthouse The Rooftop views were a whole vibe and staff was completely fine with helping us take a few photos. definately a helluva experience and highly recommend the Perch read more
Wish I could give 4 stars for the atmosphere and 3 stars for the food. I made a reservation a couple of weeks in advance, knowing that a lot of these places get busy quickly. We arrived on a Monday evening and used the Perch valet at the front of the building for $13, which was convenient. We were instructed to take an elevator to the 13th floor then another elevator the 15th floor where the restaurant is. The food isn't really all that, but the atmosphere was delightful. We shared a tuna tartare between 6 people, which was a good portion size for tasting. I ordered the bacon mac and cheese and chicken supreme, both of which were good. The bacon mac and cheese had a light cheese taste, but I would have preferred a cheesier taste. The chicken supreme was also fine, it was tender and flavorful. Again, the food really wasn't spectacular, but it was nice just being on the patio. The sunset was very pretty through the buildings of the city. There was a band that came closer to 8 and they were really good! Unfortunately I forgot the band's name... read more

Made reservations for a Friday night...good luck finding street parking lol. They have valet for $14, which is what we did. I will say they were really slow to bring back our car once we were done. The service here was great! They were friendly and attentive with our water levels and clearing dishes, but they did forget our cocktails which we had to ask about. We got the gnocchi, bacon mac & cheese, truffle fries, and french onion soup. The only dish that lacked flavor was the gnocchi - everything else was pretty good! My favorite was the soup. For the price though, the food was just average. I really enjoyed my cocktail though! The place was packed, but it wasn't horrible on the rooftop and I thought the view was pretty. read more

We came to Perch on a Saturday night with friends. We were swiftly seated in a beautiful spot overlooking DTLA. There were a few mistakes in our order but our waiter (Mike) and very kind manager (Michael) worked quickly and graciously to appease us. The food was incredibly tasty...but the star of the night was their White Chocolate Bread Pudding! It was beyond amaaaaazing!!!! I was a little late in catching a photo before we ate it all up! By far, this was one of the best desserts I have had in my entire life! French Onion Soup-delicious! Steak Frites-with truffle cheese fries-yum! Sea Bass-one Of the best we've had! read more

If you are looking for a place to sit and enjoy gorgeous views and delicious food with welcoming staff, this is the place for you! A group of us came to Perch to celebrate my friends 26th birthday and we all had a wonderful time. Food was phenomenal. Also loved our waiter Moshe (I think that's how you spell, it I'm sorry if it's wrong!!) was super friendly and attentive. He even helped us take group photos. Thank you for the wonderful service and helping us provide a rememberable birthday for our dear friend. Highly recommend! read more

I've been to perch many times and each time it's a great experience. When you think of LA roof top you think of this place. Just the experience of getting to the Perch is an experience. You go to 2 different elevators just to get to the place then another set of stairs to get to the top. During summer times, there's usually a band and you can jam to them while you enjoy the company of good people around you. If you want you some gorgeous photos this is the place to be. I ate here recently and our waiter Isaiah was super helpful on directing on us what to order and was just a swell dude. Last thing, this is a place for a great time if you are looking for a classy evening. read more

Went here for my anniversary. Amazing service, romantic spot, and the food was delicious! Me and my partner both ordered the streak frites and it was cooked to perfection! At the end of our dinner, the manager JR came and made sure we received the full experience and even offered us dessert for our anniversary! This will definitely be a go to spot for future date nights ! read more

Perch was a place I had bookmarked for years. I don't live anywhere near LA but finally made it out for the day. Reservations: Made reservations about a week ahead of time through their website. They only had a 5p or a 9p available. Chose the 5p 15th floor as that was the only time available. Received a call 1-2 days ahead of time confirming my time. I asked the woman if I could be seated on the 16th floor, she said she'd make a note of it. When I showed up the host said there were no notes indicating that but they offered for us to wait 45min to be seated there. Decided to just stick with the 15th floor. Parking: parked in the structure near the grand central market because I had been there for a few hours prior to the reservation. Entrees: ordered the ravioli rabbit which was rich and delicious. The first one they brought out came with a thick black hair on it so I returned it and they brought out a new one. They gave me a free dessert because of the mishap - not sure how I feel about that. We also ordered the short rib: felt it was a little over cooked but the sauce on it was good. Skip: skip the ahi tuna tartare. If you've tried this anywhere else you've tried it here. It's as expected. Try something else. Also ordered the pork belly for an appetizer but this was not as tender as I typically have tried it. So I'd skip it. Drinks: penicillin and Saint Cloud both great cocktails! I am a scotch and whiskey drinker and both were refreshing for a sunny day. Service: The host, the elevator attendant, the servers.. all very nice. I did not like that every five minutes I was being asked what I wanted to order and have I reviewed the menu yet. Even after ordering the appetizer we were asked very frequently. I felt very rushed to order entrees. It wasn't a relaxing experience especially when people travel or seek out this particular restaurant to try. Overall: the view was beautiful of course.. glad I came and tried this restaurant, but I am sure there are many other restaurants in LA who won't rush you through your dining experience. It was difficult deciding 3 vs 4 stars. read more

I had an amazing 1st time Lorena was a blessing and made it special . & Brian made me an amazing cocktail it's amazing read more
So much yes!!! Solid food, amazing cocktails amazing view and atmosphere. We showed up the day before our reservation but they were able to squeeze us in. My friend and I split the crab cake eggs Benny and the beet salad, sub goat cheese for the blue cheese so we could save room for the bread pudding and cocktails. The Benedict was pretty good. Perfectly cooked eggs and the crab cakes were pretty good. I'd probably go with another dish next time. The salad was the best item. Perfect dressing and such yummy beets!! The bread pudding was good but not my fav. The fresh fruit was really nice to balance the sweetness but the actual bread pudding was a little too sweet for me. We then headed upstairs for a cocktail on the rooftop. I had the spicy cocombre which was so delish!! I'd definitely go back for another round of food and drinks. read more

I've been coming here for years & sadly this was the worst service I ever experienced. Such a disappointing 30th birthday dinner. I want to point out this was not busy when we arrived & not very crowded through out the less than hour we spent there. Only the hostess acknowledged my birthday when typically the waiter would as well & make it feel special. The waiter would barely look at me. When I ordered the steak, he suggested medium but I asked for rare- I received medium. He setup the silverware steak knife for my boyfriend instead of me & the steak was brought to my boyfriend. After the silverware setup, we never saw him again. In the middle of our dinner a woman appeared & put the desert menu on the table then rushed off. We clearly were no where near finished with our main course & it felt like we were being rushed. She didn't introduce herself as our new waitress, we just thought she was passing by. She came back later to ask if we were ordering dessert, which we said no & she took off again to bring the check. Again, barely looked at either of us. The hostess from earlier came out & kindly processed the check, I asked for boxes for our half finished main courses at that moment since we just wanted to leave at this point. The previous woman came back with the processed check & dropped off the boxes without saying anything. We felt so rushed out/neglected. Honestly this was such a bad experience. For a 30th birthday this was such a let down. The only reason I gave two stars was for the hostess & the tuna tartare. read more

When in LA this is a must have experience from the views, live band, and a good brunch. The charcuterie board was made to perfection. Shrimp Scampi had large shrimp and the seasoned wonderfully. The ride up was an experience that led to breathtaking views of the city skyline. read more

Second time we've been! We were originally seated in the center, but they let us swap to the window seat when that party finished, thank you! Food was very good, especially the mushroom risotto and charcuterie appetizer. The sauce on the ribeye was delicious, my partner who ordered the steak frites wished his came with that sauce too. My favorite drink was the non alcoholic Starry Night. read more

SERVICE: 2/5 FOOD: 4/5 My boyfriend and I dined in at their rooftop February 8, 2023 for his birthday. Our reservation was at 4:45pm. Now, I am not too sure if it was because we were young, but the service was terrible. I know some people don't like to give young customers good service because they don't think they will receive a "good tip". We sat at table 99. My boyfriend and I are servers ourselves so we know good service. We watched the tables around us get checked on plenty of times. They spent time at the other tables, but not with us. We felt very rushed. I could barely get a hold of our servers... we had two servers? The receipt says "Server: 510 Asencion". The first one was a short latino man with glasses. He was there to take our drink and food order. After that, we never saw him again until we were done and walking out. The second server was an older caucasian man. He checked on us about twice to give us the dessert menu and check. I was still working on my plate of food, but he just took it away assuming I was done? I think servers should be asking if customers are done with their food before taking it away. I went to go look for him to inform him that I was not done with my food and he said, "oh, did THEY take it away?" I just said yes, they did... knowing he was the one who had taken my plate away. He kindly got me another plate of food. Thank you. I had to ask for straws and salt twice until actually receiving it. Yes, I know people can be forgetful, but I eventually gave up. It was already hard enough to track down my servers. (I actually never got the salt, just the straws). The server who took our order had also forgotten to ring in our bacon mac n cheese. We never got to order it again because we could not track down our server. My Steak Frites was also overcooked, but yet again my server was no where to be found and I just stuck with it. When it came to the bill I really wanted to give a high percentage tip because I know how it feels to receive not that great of a tip. I do not think they deserved a 25%+ tip. When check was dropped off before and after payment, we did not even get a "thank you for coming" or "have a great night", etc. It's just common courtesy... especially to the people tipping you. The server just placed the bill on table and walked away. All in all, I would come again. The food was good but service was terrible. I just hope my boyfriend and I receive better customer service the next time around. read more

I must say I was blown away!! I have wanted to come here for 7 years and I finally got here!! The service was phenomenal and a major shout out to: BRYAN ROCKSTAR who was beyond amazing from the first moment I met him!! Kind, and helpful regarding drink choices and then seriously nailed the food preferences. Rob taught me that the onion soup was NOT vegetarian and saved me from getting sick. I apparently mis-read the vegetarian section. LORENA..... thank you so much for not only checking in to see how we were and how we enjoyed our experience but paying it forward!! I will definitely recommend PERCH to clients and friends all over! Excellent experience and we were treated with the utmost respect throughout the whole time!! read more

Where to start? The cool speakeasy elevated vibe as you enter? The perfectly decorated space inside with a beautiful bar? Or the outside dining patio that has some of the best views in LA? I should probably start with the yummy food. We started with some happy hour appetizers. The aracini were crispy and full of creamy flavor. Sliders were juicy and well seasoned.. entrees were done well and the desserts were absolutely amazing. The service was top notch and the view and ambiance was a perfect evening in LA. We will be back! read more

I'll admit that before going to Perch, I was skeptical about how the experience and food was going to be because let's face it, people mainly go here because of the amazing views you get from the patio/rooftop dining areas. Not only do the views of Downtown LA look beautiful from your table, but the food definitely was also amazing as well! We ordered the steak fries and the bouillabaisse. The star for me was the bouillabaisse hands down! Granted when I ordered it I didn't really know what it was but it's a seafood soup/stew that is very reminiscent in aesthetic to the Italian Cioppino. It has a ton of seafood in it ranging from shrimp and clams to sausage and scallops. They did not skimp on the seafood either so that's very appreciated. The flavor of the broth/soup reminded me of paella flavors (maybe it was the seafood too or perhaps there's some saffron in it) but in a liquid form and that combination made for an amazing dish! The steak frites was also good but we ordered the steak medium rare and it came out more medium well which was a bummer. However the best part of this dish was the truffle cheese fries that come with it. The nice thing is that these Perch Truffle Fries can be ordered by themselves so I recommend doing that if no one in your group is interested in getting the steak. The fries are cheesy gooey and oh so gluttonous in all the right ways. I wouldn't blame you if you just went to Perch for these addicting fries. read more

First of all, I'm totally impressed with their COVID19 precautions&protocols. My best friend took me here for my birthday dinner and she had to make a reservation in advanced. Perch only limits 1.5hrs for dine-in so we made sure to come on time and stood in line after checking in. Before heading inside, they made sure to check our temperature and let us sanitize our hands. Once we got up to the rooftop area, all the tables/seatings were spaced out for social distancing purpose. The view up there was really amazing esp during golden hour before sunset. We ordered Mussels for appetizer, which came with delicious seasonings and crunchy bread (highly recommend this!). For the entree, we ordered "Filet Mignon Au Poivre" that came with medium rare filet mignon mixed with delicious puree asparagus/ potatoes. My friends also ordered Pan Roasted Salmon and Braised short rib that came with colorful rainbow beets. We also paired our entree with their awesome cocktails and got some desserts too. Special shout out for Lisa who took care of us and made this dining experience unforgettable :) read more
