A gem located on the top floors of this landmark building adjacent to Pershing Square, downtown Los Angeles. It is a two elevator ride to the top where a restored "Perch" restaurant and bar are located. A opportunity to be seated at the perch viewing Los Angeles any time of day. Sunsets are extra special. You can view Los Angeles as it transforms from business to entertainment mode. Classic bar scene, delicious appetizers and an outstanding dining venue. If you love or hate LA, you will be charmed by Perch.

Lovely setting and really appreciated seating request at window. Glad we were away from lively (ie noisy) bar area. Food was very good and I loved the anchovies I asked to be added to the excellent Caesar salad. Service was attentive after a bit of a slow start. Good choice for special occasions or to treat visitors to a historical venue.
