The food is incredible and they know it. The baba ghanoush is the best I’ve ever had, and the prawns are incredible. The servers are attentive, even when the kitchen is somewhat backed up. It is quite a loud environment — sparse walls and tile bounce sound around the room and you’re definitely projecting (yelling?) to have conversation. The high top seating is NOT comfortable at all… there isn’t enough space for a family style small plates experience. But sitting elsewhere is wonderful.

Perch never disappoints. I’m a frequent guest and have recommended this restaurant to everyone I know. The food is delicious and the outdoor patio ambiance and the view is unmatched. They also have a really nice rooftop and bar to enjoy without a reservation.
