    We were seated promptly at a nice window table overlooking the Gulf, and our waiter Will was most pleasant and professional. Our food and cocktails were excellent—my filet was perfectly cooked. Loud music over the sound system detracted from the ambiance; something like soft jazz at a lower volume would have been more appropriate. That’s a minor quibble, considering the food and the view!
    PerchResponded on 9 November 2024
    Hey Nell, Thank you for taking the time to leave us such a wonderful review. We're glad to hear that our service was up to the mark. We appreciate your feedback about the music and we are currently working on a way to control the overall noise level. We do offer live Jazz Saxophone on Thursday and Friday nights, however. We look forward to welcoming you back soon for another excellent dining experience. Best regards, The Management Team

    Another lovely dining experience at the perch. A gentle breeze, the pier bustling with activity we viewed the sun setting into the abyss of the gulf. What a wonderful spot in LA. (lower alabama). It seemed like a nice evening for a martini with a sprinkling of olive juice and stuffed olives with blue cheese, just right. We grazed through the appetizers, we tried grilled shrimp with toasted sourdough bread, a bit better than average with the proper reduction of the butter and garlic. The real treat was the braised octopus, was much like a stew. The octopus was tender, with tomato, chorizo and fingerling potatoes. This would have satisfied a S a meal for those looking for a light bite. Our main courses were the pan seared scallops with the braised pork belly, sweet potatoes and a bit of coconut rice. A sweet balsamic was not overpowering. Just right with the exception of not being able to accommodate no or less carbs. A cauliflower rice would have been a solid alternative. The other dish, a ribeye prepared to order, nice. Its the view, comfort and cuisine that keeps us coming back to the perch. We just like being pampered a bit, and this spot consistently delivers. Bon appetite!
