G We just celebrated our 30th wedding anniversary at The Perch, and once again, it exceeded every expectation. This was our fourth visit, and every single one has been a five-star experience. Our server, Dusty, was outstanding. This was the second time we've had him, and he remembered us from our previous visit--including what we ordered. That level of attention to detail and genuine hospitality is rare. He was friendly, professional, attentive without hovering, and truly helped make our anniversary dinner memorable. Dusty is one of the best servers we've had anywhere. The food was exceptional from start to finish. The medium-rare filet mignon was cooked perfectly and was one of the best steaks we've had. The garlic mashed potatoes were absolutely phenomenal, the loaded baked potato was excellent, and the Brussels sprouts were perfectly prepared. One of the most thoughtful touches came from the chef. Since we brought a bottle of our own wine, they served a bread basket with olive oil and balsamic vinegar, and beautifully wrote a special anniversary message in the balsamic. It was a small detail that made the evening feel even more personal. To finish the night, we enjoyed dessert out on the terrace by the fire table overlooking the beautiful view. The tiramisu-style dessert was outstanding, and the "Happy Anniversary" written in chocolate was another thoughtful touch that made the evening feel truly special. We also want to recognize Mary, the manager. She took the time to come by our table, introduce herself, and personally wish us a happy anniversary. It's obvious she's doing an outstanding job leading her team because every visit has been consistently excellent. We also appreciate The Perch's dress code. It helps create an upscale, classy atmosphere that makes dining there feel like a special occasion every time. If you're looking for an exceptional dining experience in Amador County, The Perch delivers. Outstanding food, impeccable service, thoughtful attention to detail, and an atmosphere that's hard to beat. Congratulations to Mary, Dusty, the chef, and the entire team. We'll absolutely be back for visit number five. read more

This is my second time this month trying this place. The views are great the place is very nice on the inside. Staff is friendly. First time here I tried the prime rib special and it was decent honestly but not that flavorful.. we tried a few different appetizers. Both were alright. But nothing that screams wow. Second trim which was tonight... ordered the signature chicken dish. It was lacking not bad but not great not dress code to get in great. And at the price point ehhh.. lobster Mac was good, as well as the risotto. Everything could use a little more seasoning. It's a nice experience but the food is plated and presented well but nothing leaves me saying wow... I'd expect more. My server the first time was good but didn't know the menu very well. And the second time my server didn't even ask me if I wanted anything to drink... read more

From the moment we got in we were greeted - we had reservations for 4 and got the best seat in the house over looking such an amazing view! The steaks are 100/100 and so is the garlic mashed potatoes and crab Mac and cheese; my friend said she never had this Mac and cheese in her life and it was the best she has ever had! That speaks volumes! The bread was equally as good! We also got the pear lemon drops 10/10 - Amuse Bouche was perfect with the lemon drop! John our server was amazing and super attentive! 100/100 recommend stoping by and giving the perch restaurant a visit! read more

Danielle was one of the best servers we have ever had! She didn't rush us she was genuinely interested in our conversation and excellently skilled at her craft of being of service. We so appreciated our dining experience with her. The food was phenomenal. Definitely on par with a Vegas restaurant. We can't wait to come back and we'll definitely be requesting Danielle as our server! read more

Absolutely ridiculous and discriminatory behavior here, wasn't allowed because I was wearing leggings?!!!!!! That's the MOST ridiculous policy I've ever heard in my life. I've worn leggings EVERY other time I've been here. I don't wear jeans. This is SONORA NOT HOLLYWOOD. Lackluster service, rudest most bitter judgy eyed management, and not even good food. Ewh do better please. I saw plenty of hats and men in shirts that weren't button ups. And even women in leggings. And CROCS!!! Why was I not allowed but they were. I should also add, my husband wasn't allowed in because he was wearing a $100 psycho bunny v neck shirt. This place'a dress code IS psychotic read more

I honestly don't understand the bad reviews, we've dined here three times now and every visit has been a great experience! The food is always cooked to perfection, and the servers are consistently friendly and attentive. We always make reservations and have never had to wait. The ambience is lovely, especially for date nights. The bar menu offers plenty of options, and everything I've tried so far has been delicious (though I can't remember all the names!). My husband and I especially come for their oysters! they're always fresh, flavorful, and a great size compared to other restaurants. They do mention a dress code in the reservation reminders, but it's not too strict. We usually dress up, but we've seen plenty of casually dressed guests and it's totally fine. Overall, highly recommend! read more

I made these plants about four weeks prior for Thanksgiving day because I've been to every restaurant in this facility and they have been phenomenal. Reservations are easy to create reminders came up properly to remind me in advance of the dress code and what was expected. We got there checked in with the hostess. She was so cute. Her name was Monica. She was very sweet. Very kind very attentive. The view is $1 million view but I'm a little bit biased. We live in the area and that is my favorite view. I travel all over the United States for work. I've been to multiple places but there's no place like the view you have in Jamestown and Sonora of the hills and just the people in the vibe. Our table was gorgeous our waiter John oh my gosh, she was such a sweetheart. I wish we have socialized all day. It started with our drinks. He made the suggestion the blackbird for a mocktail, my daughter loved it. She's 20 can't drink yet, but it was a beautiful suggestion. In addition we were not only celebrating Thanksgiving that we were celebrating her birthday as well. We ordered the charcuterie board. He asked how we like it served all at once if we want to do it by courses we chose to do it by courses just be advise. This is not sit down eat in one hour and be gone. We start at 4:30. We didn't get out there till seven. We started with our bread so they give you two different breads of focaccia bread, which is phenomenal. Oh my gosh and then like a bread that has seeds in it also really good but my favorite was the focaccia. They also gave us candied bacon with pecans on it chefs kiss to everything and then on top of that we get our charcuterie board, which was phenomenal. Great presentation. Great taste loved everything about it. Wish I got a picture of it. Sorry not sorry. They brought our soups out the French onion came out beautifully done. Great presentation with the cheese on top exactly how you would expect it from a height in restaurant now here's the piece of resistance. They bring out this white egg and take the top off and there's a huge piece of lobster at the bottom of the bowl with some croutons and I'm thinking of myself. OK, where's my best they bring this container and start pouring it into the bowl to bathe the lobster kissing it as though it's a sun kissing the beach and ocean right at sunset. It was a beautiful scene and then they took this beautiful oil. Drizzle a few drops on it. Oh my gosh that lobster bisque. I'm single it's gonna take a very special man to replace that lobster bisque chefs kiss to that too we finished that all the presentation. The delivery was just top notch. They bring out our meal. My dad and I have the Duncan with mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes on top of the stuffing or dressing how you like to call it and a cranberry sauce that have the hint obsessed they just can't place the seasoning my daughter have a Ragu beef hamburger again phenomenal cook excellent taste. Everything was nice warm well presented just a phenomenal meal. I have a chocolate crème brûlée, which was oh my God I can't even describe it. It was heaven on earth tasted like espresso. My daughter and dad shared an apple crisp with a calmer drizzle and they wrote happy birthday among aside for her. They had chocolate spoons for my crème brûlée, and they made her a feather out of chocolate that went on top of the pie detail was phenomenal every detail every attention to detail every piece of this restaurant and the meal very planned out just a great great experience you walk in is gorgeous. It's fresh and it's walking but that's sexy. It's this place where you're like oh my gosh, this is up here in the hills. I mean it really talks sexy to you and the fact that they have these this bar and like this little area where there's like a little display and this little wine area it's just like wow and then you see the view of these beautiful hills as the sun setting and you're watching this in Jamestown and you're thinking this is in my own backyard. Why would I want to travel any places else when I have this beautiful scenery and then just the server John was phenomenal friendly making suggestions had robust conversation regarding wine and food I have not had a waiter like that in a long long time the mail was just out of this world worth the prize would do 100% again highly recommend this would be a great date place for a couple wanting to reconnect. Hopefully someday I will be doing that or for Thanksgiving Christmas dinner or special event check it out it's great then go down and have a drink at one of the two bars there again just a phenomenal experience read more

The food was amazing. I never knew I loved a flambé ribeye! It is next level. John is the most amazing server. He nailed every part of the experience. From the amuse bouche, candied bacon, to the wine selection (Au Bon Climat) and the hanging flambé tomahawk...it was unforgettable! Can't beat the ambiance on top of the resort. Beautiful views and a gorgeous dining room. read more

Been here multiple times. Everything went well but the dress code. When you make reservations they inform you about the dress code. Then they text message you about your reservation and the dress code. The day of your reservation they remind you again about the dress code. Why have a "fine dining restaurant" if you don't follow your dress code policy! Every time we went 4 times now, there were guys wearing shorts, flip flops, sneakers, unbutton short sleeve shirts, hats on, etc. I hate dressing up! If I have to dress up to go to a fine dining restaurant, shouldn't you follow your own dress code policy? Just a heads up, if you allow patrons to void your dress code policy, you are "NOT" a fine dining restaurant, but a fancy diner... read more

Dear Perch Rooftop, I'm in love! lol seriously tho this place is amazing.... I have been craving a fancy restaurant around this area and I have found just that. Service was good but the food was next level. Let me say that again the food was next level. We had a party of 10 and they nailed every plate. Still hard to believe that type of food in this area for a min I thought maybe I was bk in SF at a high end steak house. Amazing food read more

The only thing you'll be perched on is the edge of your seat, savoring every bite. If you're at Chicken Ranch Casino, Perch is the place to eat. Located on the 9th floor with its gorgeous ambiance, I literally felt like I was in a totally different city. The ribeye steak was perfection--cooked medium rare and the Hama Hama oysters were creamy and delicious. The oysters were the damn size of half my face. The lobster mac and cheese was a bit too salty at first, but shoutout to Amanda (the manager) and John (our awesome server) for making it right. They replaced it without any fuss, and the new one was on point. Great food, friendly service, and a laid-back vibe. read more

A Perfect Dining Experience at The Perch From the moment we walked in, The Perch at Chicken Ranch delivered an unforgettable experience. The atmosphere was vibrant yet welcoming perfectly blending modern charm with relaxed comfort. The food was absolutely on point every dish was served with precise attention to flavor, temperature, and presentation. You could tell from the first bite that the kitchen takes real pride in their craft. Each plate was bursting with bold, balanced flavors that hit all the right notes. What truly elevated the night, though, was the exceptional service. The staff went above and beyond genuinely friendly, knowledgeable, and ready with top-tier drink recommendations that paired perfectly with our meals. Their energy and professionalism made the night feel special. And just when we thought it couldn't get better... the dessert was next-level. Rich, decadent, and absolutely worth saving room for it was the perfect ending to an incredible meal. Whether you're a local or just passing through, The Perch is a must-visit. Quality food, standout service, and an atmosphere that makes you want to stay a little longer. Can't wait to come back! read more

Drove up from Modesto for dinner with the family. From the moment we stepped onto the 9th floor we were extremely impressed. The restaurant was beautiful and decor was done well. Our server was great and very professional. She provided great recommendations and made sure we had everything we needed. We had the crab cakes (made fresh) and wedge salad to start, both of which were delicious. We then had the filet mignon, lobster, rack of lamb and wagyu burger for dinner. Meats were cooked perfect. The sides were really good (except the gratin potatoes). Our favorites were the lobster mac and cheese, brussel sprouts and fries. Highly recommend this place for a nice upscale dinner. read more

The food and atmosphere was exquisite! The service was top tier thanks to Serenity. Would definitely come and visit again!

Ambiance and Customer service is why it gets a 3. Food was bla 1. Ribeye, my meal. It was cooked to perfection. But the meat itself had little to no fat in it and made for a very bland ribeye. For $65 I expect a well marbled steak. I also only had one topping to choose from. Really needs a better selection of meat or a lot more seasoning to pull this off. I didn't finish. 2. Asparagus, Again cooked to perfection. Looked Fantastic. But very Bla tasting. Nothing great about the taste. We didn't finish. 3. Crab Dish, Whatever yellow topping they put on it completely ruined the taste of crab. It was a very weird plate we didn't finish. 4. Potatoes Gratin, Looks great from the top. But it only had a layer of cheese on the top. Under the cheese was like 7 layers of potatoes that had zero flavor. Just thin sliced potatoes cooked with a light cheesy top. Should at least flavor the potatoes or put layers of cheese throughout. We didn't finish 5. Salmon, was kinda odd to get a salmon dish with avocados on the top. The salmon was cooked well but it was a bit fishy tasting. Not bad, this is the only plate that was ok. Also came with skin up and out of the 100 times my wife has ordered salmon around California its never came skin up so that was a little odd as well. 6. Crab Cakes, they were good. But at $27 for two crab cakes a little bigger than silver dollars they had better be so damn delicious we cant stop talking about them. Not the case at all. 7. Lobster Bisque, This was excellent! Highly recommend 8. Bread, Ironic that I would talking about the bread but it really was that good. Loved it. Hate to write this review. This place has so much potential. I feel they are working out the kinks so we will try them again in the future. We knew about 6 of the people working there so it was great to see them and the customer service was awesome. There was zero complaints on anything except the food was just not top tier like the prices they are asking. read more

Got there at 5p and left at 8:30p. Got soup and then it took an hour and 45 min to get our entrées. Lots of apologies but no consideration. They did try to sell us another bottle of wine, of course.

I wasn't lucky enough to enter the restaurant. I had made a reservation for 2 people but I went to talk to someone if they could have a table for 4. Mrs. Monica definitely said no but another person tried to help us but Mrs. Monica arrived again and said no again!!! I don't want to believe that because we were Mexicans read more

First time here today with my bf. We sat at the bar and it was beautiful. Sarah and Luis were our bartenders and I love them! Luis is just the perfect amount of friendly and accommodating. Got us everything we needed. Sarah is this enigmatic, creative, and sweet person. The care and attention to detail in her craftsmanship of the cocktails were mesmerizing. See photo. Simple and stunning concoctions. The food was so delicious! We had steak, fries, bread, beets, octopus, lobster mac, bone marrow, and mushrooms! Presentation A +. Taste A +. We will definitely be back here. Restrooms were super clean. Hostesses were nice. All the servers that brought out our food were nice. It was a really pleasant experience. Can't wait to come back! read more

Incredibly disappointing The service is slow, it took about 15 minutes to get water and meet our waiter after being sat down. I started off with lobster bisque soup & a tequila sunrise and it was delicious. Soup was very creamy but that's my type of soup. The drink was solid. I tried the wagyu burger and the beef patty was more rare than I had asked for and the center of the beef was cold. It comes with a weird sauce that really ruins the burger. I would stay away from this burger. I also tried the steak with lobster tail and it was cooked nicely medium rare. Just an average good steak. I think this place is okay but for the price it's really not worth it. The service is incredibly slow despite not many customers. Nothing special I can really recommend here, and the prices are really high ($110 for lobster tail added). If you're here for appetizers and drinks , it will be a good time but if you're here for dinner, you'll find tastier and cheaper 30 mins away. read more

Charged unreasonable non menu price on bill. Spoke with manager Mary who offered no solution and was extremely rude.

Starting with the ambience, it was very classy and inviting. The lighting provides a cozy warmth that pairs well with the dishes. The food was very delicious, and although it is expensive it is to be expected! But regardless for the price you pay the food is absolutely wonderful. I had the fish of the day with the haystack fries and I don't think I will ever find another set of fries as good as these. The fish had a wonderful palette with a nice citrus flavor. Lastly the service was phenomenal. Our server Julio was very kind and patient, I've never met a server so welcoming and willing to provide only the best! I must have had more than a handful of refills on water consistently and efficiently! Maybe not a place I would come to consistently but it was definitely a wonderful experience and super hospitable! Very much recommended. read more

The restaurant is beautiful and it has an amazing view that can be seen from both your tables and the patio. Upon arrival, the host immediately greeted us, he found our reservation and asked us to please wait while they get our table ready. The staff was friendly and checked on us throughout our time within the restaurant. The Restaurant turned out beautiful, and defiantly something that brings upscale to our small town. Our waiter was Kass, and he was not only an excellent server but always had a smile on his face. I think he deserves a pat on the back, he was friendly, polite, attentive, professional and was great at not only serving his tables but assisting with others as well. He assisted with getting the Lobster off the tail. He even had genuine answers to some of our curious questions. We had other servers check on us as they passed our table from time to time, ask how our food was or if we would like anything else. The manager was an incredible host, he made rounds to every table, talked with guests, checked on orders, poured wine & champagne table side for many tables. He hospitality was admirable to say the least. We ordered Crab Cakes, Pork Belly & Cauliflower appetizers. The pork belly was delicious, 20/10! Highly recommend, the flavor was out of this world. The cauliflower was good and so were the crabcakes, but the pork belly stole the show. As for our main courses we ordered bone in ribeye & Lobster. The Lobster was melt in your mouth, the best I've ever had! The ribeye was delicious, slightly more done than requested but delicious! We also got potatoes Gratin, Lobster Mac & cheese, pan seared shrimp, Brocolini & Asperagus. Which were all delicious! I oredered a Spicy Peacock cocktail and it was the star of the show. The flavor profile and presentation of the drink was *chefs kiss* The spicy Jalapeno tequila paired with the sweet dessert pear and agave was incredible. Highly reccomend this cocktail. They really did an incredible job with the ambiance at this restaurant, they brought beautiful views, delicious food & fine dining to the foothills. read more

We had a wonderful dinner at this very nice restaurant. Our friends who live locally, brought us to celebrate NYE. We had lobster bisque, wedge and Caesar salad, scallops, filet mignon, NY strip steak, shrimp pasta with a side of brussel sprouts and potatoes gratin. We were all four very pleased with our meals. The only improvement we could suggest would be the lobster bisque was barely warm so perhaps heat it up a bit more before sending it out from the kitchen. Ambience was great and service (Ashley) was fantastic! We come from the Bay Area so we thought the pricing was reasonable especially given the surroundings, food quality and taste. The espresso martinis and dirty martini pre-dinner cocktails were on point. Can't wait to return! Oh and we brought our own bottle of wine for a $20 corkage fee and enjoyed oysters on the half shell which were giant! read more

Last night I popped into Chicken Ranch casino with a couple of friends and popped into Perch for dinner.... Best decision! Seated near the kitchen with a great view for sunset and met John, our server. What a blast!! John even made describing the menu fun! He was so much fun; and an amazing attentive server. We never waited for anything and he made us laugh and not want to leave. The drinks were perfect and the food was really incredible! We tried the pork belly, the wedge salad, scallops, filet, mushroom risotto, and a special which included venison and lamb. All cooked to perfection and presented beautifully. This place is top notch and John was the icing on the cake! Mary the manager alto a gem... when we walked in she told us we were in for a treat and when we left and I told her how fantastic he was, she just smiled and said, I know! Thank you John, I will be back. My girlfriend who does not have the means to normally go to a place like this said "this was the best dining experience I have ever had" read more

This restaurant is beautiful! Spacious & elegant. The wall of windows have an expansive view of the foothills to the west, to a lovely sunset the evening we were there. (Less appealing after dark when all you can see is the well-lit parking lot below.) Service couldn't have been better. Michelle was warm, friendly, and well informed about the menu. (Wish she had informed us about the price of the brandy I ordered with dessert: $60 for a single ounce!) We ordered the cioppino, and halibut with caviar sauce which was that evening's special. His cioppino was chock full of crab, lobster, oysters and mussels! He said the seafood was all good, but the bit of traditional cioppino sauce in the bottom of the bowl barely flavored it. My halibut was divine! I could have licked the plate! The wine list was insufficient. Dessert (crème brûlée, and something minty-chocolate) was served on a platter with a personalized anniversary wish written in chocolate. Made it feel very special! I'm sure we'll come back to The Perch in the future, but will be bolder about asking for prices. The surprises added up to a breathtaking total. read more

So sad to write this review because I was excited for a nice restaurant in the area. Thankfully we had been warned about the dress code, so no problems there. Had reservations at 7:30 and had to wait until 8:05 to be seated. We waited in the bar and ordered a sangria, but it was not good at all - very watery and bitter. It seemed like he had just taken a glass of wine and dumped a few orange slices in it. The bartender argued with me about what a sangria was when I wanted to get something else, which was awkward. When we were finally seated, it took an hour to get our food. My burger was ordered medium well and came out very well done. The outside was charred and inside was dry. The ingredient quality was nice, but not the temperature I asked for. Others in the party ordered a wedge salad that was not up to standard. With these prices, you'd expect to be raving about the food but all the dishes were mediocre at best. I hope they work out the kinks because it really is a beautiful setting. Don't think I'll be back for a while. read more
