Love this spot! The overall ambiance and decor is very cool, and they have a fantastic beer garden. The cocktails I have had are solid and their food is delicious (I have only had their brunch, but yum!). Any staff that we have interacted with have been very nice and knowledgable if we have questions. I will absolutely keep going back. read more

First off I want to start out the review by saying that the staff here is great and our server was wonderful and nice. The food, however, really left something to be desired. I moved to the area earlier this year and have been in awe of how nearly every restaurant has been a hit, and I expected The Perch to live up to those expectations. The decor is beautiful and the restaurant itself is a perfect night out vibe, with really cute outdoor dining during the winter, too, so naturally I was excited to check it out. My family ordered the cheese curds, croquettes, two cheeseburgers and a salad--pretty standard fare. The cheese curds are tempura-fried and were just way too oily--I expected them to be better since we're in the Midwest after all. And the croquettes were also just ok. Perhaps it's because I'm comparing them to a Spanish croquette which, when done right, is an amazing appetizer, but these were underwhelming and doughy without a lot of flavor. I wouldn't order them again. The burgers seemed to be fine, but my salad had plain, unseasoned pulled chicken in it--which also happened to include a giant bone that I bit down on (I took a photo but I'll spare everyone the details). I'm not one to usually complain about bones in food if that's how something is supposed to be cooked but this was obviously just a mistake. If the chicken had been seasoned at all it would've been better but this was basically just boiled chicken thrown in. Over all, I was pretty bummed about the food here, although as stated before the service and ambiance were both great. Perhaps we just went on an off day? read more

Dined here in celebration of my birthday. Overall, the food did not disappoint! We tried the potato croquettes, cornbread, calypso shrimp, salmon, and rotisserie chicken. The salsa that comes with the shrimp is to die for!!! The cornbread was mediocre, possibly because it wasn't hot. My sister's entree came out completely cold, down to the gravy, but it was fixed quickly. Would have been 5 stars if our waiter was more attentive. Bridget seemed to have too many tables to handle and we felt a bit neglected... left to ask whomever walked by for what we needed. read more

Drinks were off, really good filet mignon sliders. Honestly was a let down and I thought it would be a lot better.

This is our second visit but first for brunch. So far it's on point with this blueberry cornbread and spicy bloody. Decor, atmosphere, beer garden, service read more

Cool vibes inside and food for brunch was fantastic! The apps we got cheese curds, cinnamon buns and fried potato balls that were so good. Quiche was moist and crispy crust! read more

Great new spot in Wicker Park. Wayyyy better than previous Boundary restaurant. Much better food and outside areas (front and back area). They do reservations which is nice (which honestly all restaurants should be doing during Covid times). read more

Food and drinks were great. Neal was the icing on top! Thanks for a great experience, sir

the best spot for brunch and lunch vibes. the food is fresh and simple. definitely start with the blueberry bread! they brew beer as well so tons of beers to try on draft. the ambiance feels elevated and fun, great for a girls brunch. read more

A great place to grab a beer. The atmosphere is very comforting, cozy, and warm - a perfect ambiance to catch up with a friend! We ordered the fried cheese curds and croquettes - they came out really quickly so we were able to enjoy it as a snack next to our beers. I would come back again if I'm in the area! read more

It's difficult to find somewhere to eat during COVID if you don't take the time to make reservations (especially on a Saturday). However we were sat immediately and the host was more than friendly when doing so. The drinks were great, the food was amazing and came out so quickly. Kenna took GREAT care of us, she was so sweet and knowledgeable of the menu. This place is highly recommended. They also have heating lamps throughout the patio so on chilly nights when you still want to sit outside they make it happen. And the best part, they're dog friendly!!!! read more

The Perch does everything right. The menu, customer service and ambiance. Their food is delicious and the wine, beer and cocktail selection offers something for everyone (the gimlet is top notch and there's a solid craft beer list). It's hard to choose appetizers and entrees because there are many good options-- and you really can't go wrong with what you choose (hint: get the lobster deviled eggs and the cheese curds). Serving sizes are reasonable as well. Our server and other staff members went above and beyond and were extremely attentive. Also, they take social distancing and COVID measures seriously to ensure a safe and comfortable dining experience. This is a great, new Wicker Park spot! read more

Very unique and such a gorgeous design! The entire staff was nothing but kind, funny and gracious. My roomate and I came here on a Sunday afternoon and loved every minute of it. I started with the rosé sangria which was delicious and then I moved onto a beer flight. Amazing selection and I love that you have the option to do a flight, so much fun. We ate the cheese curds, potato croquettes and truffle fries. Everything was delicious, I can't wait to try something more substantial. Can't wait to be a regular here! read more

TERRIBLE PLACE. Service is SHIT. People are rude. Cocktails suck. Would never recommend!

Amazing food, great service, and an AWESOME patio space.

The food was okay. I ordered a Brussels sprouts salad and a mahi mahi sandwich and it tasted good but it wasn't something that impressed me. The salad was better. read more

We stopped in for Restaurant Week and we were very impressed. The service was great and the drinks are made well. This place has the best hash browns I have ever had. The Backbird Benny was very tasty and I hope they add it to the permanent menu. I would recommend making a reservation though. It is very crowded for brunch. read more

We went for brunch and all the food was really good. For drinks, don't forget to try the Rosé Sangria, it is amazing!

Me and my girlfriend went on Thursday night. The place was packed and the wait staff was pleasant. I absolutely love the fast service. And the Purple Rain drink is a must have. read more

Service is very fast and attentive. Food is good. Cheese curds are great. Cute atmosphere, more of a large group place than a date place. Street parking only read more

Great food and drinks and atmosphere. Unfortunately, the bartenders don't fit. We spent two hours dining at the bar in a Saturday night. The entire right side of the bar was essentially used as a prep kitchen. 2 individuals behind the bar spent the better part of our entire two hour visit cutting fruit, juicing and creating drink garnishes. There was no conversation and, in fact, we were never even asked for another drink. This was also at 5-7pm on a Saturday nite. This should be done elsewhere and/or at another time. We typically like to dine at the bar and socialize with the neighborhood bartenders- this is NOT the place. Sit at a table here as the service is good, the food is great and they make good cocktails. Unfortunately, every time we're there, the bartenders seemingly don't fit or need to up there attention game. read more

We enjoyed our brunch at The Perch a few weeks ago. Our party of four took advantage of the patio seating. The servers were very attentive and demonstrated quality hospitality. I ordered the tuna salad and the rest of our party enjoyed the hash. The atmosphere was pleasant and the interior of the restaurant was beautifully decorated. I look forward to trying dinner and some beers next time. We'll definitely be back. read more

Big portions! Got a Bloody Mary that was tasty. Don't snooze on their cheesy hash browns!

Really disappointed as we have frequented this restaurant. Their prime rib used to be fantastic - now they've raised the price significantly but reduced the portion size by half. I get beef prices have raised, but why reduce the portion size if you raised the price? We also were very rushed by our server. Bummer as we likely won't be back due to this experience. read more

Amazing food!!! We started off with the croquettes which were perfect (along with the portion). The Brussels sprout salad is truly amazing- probably the best Brussels sprout salad I've ever had! The staff even split our salad into two so we didn't have to scoop out two plates for ourselves! Our entrees were to die for - the grilled NY strip and cheeseburger! Cannot forget to mention their beer ...so so so good! Overall this place is REALLY good and the staff was awesome. Highly recommend!! read more

So good. Love this place. The food has been amazing both times I've been here. Tuna Salad amazing along with many other items!

I've been hearing about this place from my acquaintances, they said that this place is quite popular and the foods are really good. And so, as curious as I was, I invited a friend of mine to come with me to visit this place called The Perch. Since a lot of people are talking about it and had been there, I already prepared myself and thought that it's going to be spacious, but I did not expect it to be that big. And the rumors are true; there is a bunch of people in there when we came. The vibes this place gives are very comfortable and there is a hint of elegance everywhere. And people do not only come here for the vibes, but they also come for the food. This place's menu is awesome! We tried the rotisserie half chicken which is so good and very flavorful; it is a wood-roasted half chicken, lightly seasoned with our signature spice blend, served with mashed potato. If you want a semi-fancy date this place is a go-to. read more

Amazing food - every dish I've had here is excellent. Great beers as well. Very good service too. Can get crowded, so make a reservation if possible. Highly recommend!! read more

We love The Perch!! We come at least once a month for casual or formal events. The lobster deviled eggs and rose sangria are our favorite items. Helen has been our server multiple times and we LOVE her eye makeup! She has such a bright, warm personality and the designs add a pop of fun. read more

Loved the beer garden and draft selection. The service was outstanding and food great! Very dog friendly!

Couldn't give The Perch a higher recommendation. I hosted an event here, and the process was seamless. They were prompt, organized, and helpful. Our servers were fantastic (Leslie and Juan!) and the prices were reasonable for the high quality food. read more

Food was absolutely great! Portions are big, you will have leftovers for sure. My only complaint was the service. The host didn't offer a coloring kit and menu for my 9-year old and the waitress was all over the place. We had to wait 30 minutes for her to bring the check because she kept forgetting. She even charged me for my kid's meal, even though it clearly states on the menu that kid's eat free between 4-6PM when they order off the kid's menu during the week. I would still go back though because the food is amazing. read more

Service and food were great. On our second round of drinks we received the wrong type of wine. While it took the server some time to check on us, he quickly brought us the correct wine once we mentioned it to him. The women's restroom definitely needed some service. One stall was out of toilet paper and two out of the three sinks were out of soap. When I mentioned it to a server she seemed kind of snippy. Overall a good experience but definitely some room for improvement. read more

Grilled sausage plate and casa migos margaritas at the bar. Taylor was our bartender and she was super sweet and accommodating.

My husband and I met our son and his girlfriend at The Perch for dinner last night. When you walk in the smell of food cooking on a wood grill makes your mouth water. They have indoor seating, outdoor seating and an awesome outdoor garden. Wonderful ambience. When you check in, they take your temperature and ask you to keep your mask on when staff is around. Smart! We had a great waiter, Tim, who gave us recommendations on the food and drinks. Wonderful selection of cocktails and beer. The menu isn't huge but a nice variety. My husband and son had the salmon and loved loved it. The house special is chicken and it was very good. The one thing that stood out with the exceptional staff. They are so knowledgable and friendly. They all seem to really like their jobs, and it shows! Would highly recommend The Perch for a great night out. read more

Pretty solid spot. Very cool concept. I would definitely come back here for lunch or dinner with friends. The only reason its not 5 is the food / beer was not quite 5 star worthy, but close! read more

Delicious skillet corn bread and banana cream pie. Rotisserie chicken and chopped salad were excellent. Quinn provided outstanding service. Highly recommended. read more
