Cute cocktail bar with a view, The view is incredible at sunset on the outdoor patio. We enjoyed cocktails, beer, and the filet mignon sammie. The food was SO good. Perfect for cocktail hour, but they also serve the full menu from castaway here so you could even order dinner if you wanted. Really beautiful presentation for the cocktails, reminds me of Barton G before it closed. They have a buzz button cocktail which was super tasty! Service was extreme friendly,and accommodating. Everyone was making sure we were satisfied throughout out time there. I will for sure be back, and if you're looking for a cute date night spot this it! I will be back to try more of the tapas!

I checked the hours, and it said this place closes at 11. My friend and I came at 9... and guess what... the place was closed. Why? I don't know. We were just told that they'd decided to close early that day. Mind you, Castaway was still open that night. Why would a bar close before its posted hours? ‍

I figured it would just be a nice place with nice views but the food was amazing as well! Our server Kim was so sweet and helpful, her being bilingual was a huge help (I figured i'd have to be translating and ordering for everyone all night) She answered everyone's questions even when we maybe asked too many lol. She recommended me the chicken supreme and it was soooo delicious, everyone else enjoyed their food as well! I will definitely be going back soon hopefully:-)

My wife and I were celebrating our 3rd wedding anniversary and Perch was the place we agreed on. We…read moreate 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!

The restaurant is gorgeous! There is something incredibly charming about the combination of the warm lighting, fireplace, and open-air dining area. We were seated in the corner beneath the open sky, facing the fireplace, which made the entire experience feel especially intimate and memorable. From the moment we arrived, the hospitality was wonderful. Our server gave us complimentary brachetto wine on the house, and we loved it so much that we got another glass. He also recommended the crispy manzanilla olives as an appetizer, which was not our first choice, but I'm so glad we did. It was a unique take on olives and they were so crispy, flavorful, and addicting to eat. For the appetizers, we had the meatball and the crispy pork belly and watermelon. We split the main entree, the mushroom papardelle and added mac and cheese with hand cut frites. The pappardelle were fresh and flavorful. The meatball was also generously portion but for me, the star of the show is the mac and cheese. I also loved the crispy pork belly with watermelon as a contrast of savory and sweet. By the time dessert arrived, I was already pretty full, but I'm so glad we made room for it. We had the sticky toffee cake and it was fantastic. My biggest recommendation is to save yourself the headache and use valet parking if you're going during peak hours. We went after 9 PM on a Sunday so there was plenty of street parking in the area. Firefly is one of those restaurants where the atmosphere, food and hospitality came together to create an experience that feels genuinely special. The only reason I'm giving them a 4 star is the parking situation and also because our frites were overly salty. We asked to send it back to the kitchen and they were kind enough to take it off the bill because we barely touched it. Definitely a restaurant I'd recommend for a romantic dinner, celebration, or simply an evening when you want to enjoy good food in a beautiful setting. I would skip out on the frites and try their other foods though.

Definitely a hidden gem in Hollywood, one that is highly recommended for the drinks, themselves, and the vibes of the spot.

At one point, it was just the two of us and the bartender, which made for a relaxed and intimate atmosphere.

Again it is a little pricey but the food was really good I'm not going to lie I really did enjoy the flavors. The drinks were pretty great too, good amount of alcohol not too sweet. The Ambiance is beautiful which is one of the main reasons I wanted to go there so I could also get my birthday photos and that I did because it was super pretty. I am going to say if you have a hard time seeing it is a little dark so be prepared to get that flashlight ready. Service was pretty good, we were running a bit late and they accommodated to that and everything came out at a pretty good pace.

Then the chicken enchiladas for my main: the rice portion was small but honestly pretty ok to match the size of the rest of the plate. Definitely would order that again. And then I got the tequila flan for dessert, and let me tell you, that's tequila you can taste for sure! It's so cute inside but super aesthetic outdoors, it was just too hot to be in the sun the day we went. I'm obsessed with the tequila buttons at the tables! Our waiter was super sweet; however, service was really slow on a day where the restaurant was nowhere near capacity. I understand there's a lot that folks need to do to keep things running, but what was supposed to be a quick hour lunch dragged on a lot longer bc we had gaps of time where we never saw our server even when we wanted something else and eventually just the check.

This place was overpriced, disorganized, and incredibly disappointing. The show did not actually…read morebegin until 10:29 p.m., and before that there was almost an hour of dance lessons. We were honestly falling asleep waiting for the actual entertainment to begin. The entire night felt chaotic from the moment we arrived. You spend time getting dressed up, planning a date night, driving downtown, and trying to be excited for the experience, only to park in a dark lot with feces and urine in the stairway. It was scary and disgusting. We looked past the parking lot situation because we were excited to enjoy our night out, but unfortunately the experience only got worse from there. The waitress kept pushing us to order more items, which made the whole night feel like a money grab. The food was absolutely embarrassing and nothing like what was advertised in the gallery photos on the website. It honestly felt like it came straight from Costco. Other reviews mentioned food being served on paper plates, and we can confirm that we experienced that too. The slice of pizza was literally Costco pizza. The pizza and snacks were cheap, low-quality, and nowhere near what you would expect for the price. It really makes you wonder how many people feel misled by that kind of advertising. There was also a complete lack of control and management. People who did not pay for reserved seating were hovering nearby, ready to take your seat the second you got up to use the restroom or go to the dance floor. We saw multiple people weasel their way into reserved lounge and table areas on the ground floor. At one point, a couple was even going through someone's fur coat and looked close to taking belongings before the actual couple returned. That alone says a lot about the environment and lack of security. The billing situation made it even worse. The waitress quickly skipped through the itemized receipt, which made it easy to miss that a 20% tip had already been included. We ended up tipping on top of the included gratuity and only realized it afterward. At that point, we felt completely scammed. We spent over $300, and the overall experience and management were absolutely not worth it. To be fair, some of the acts were great and the band was great. Separate from that, everything else was as mentioned. Between the deceptive billing, weak drinks that barely seemed to have alcohol, the delayed start, boring dance lessons, embarrassing food, poor seating control, and lack of management, the whole experience was extremely disappointing. I definitely do not recommend reserving seats, drinking at this event, or buying their food. Eat dinner beforehand and do not worry about arriving on time, because the show does not really start until around 10:30 anyway. We left feeling scammed.

The view from our seats were completely blocked by people standing around. Drinks and snacks were awful. I'd say my company was great, but the experience was regrettable. I do not recommend it at all. Interestingly enough, the people looked like regulars so if it's your cup of tea, then I guess you'll enjoy it but if you're trying to find a new place to try out for live entertainment, this isn't it.
