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.

Comfortable and casual (with a capital "C" for each). Absolutely loved the tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwich. -- and the choice of jazz as ambience was well chosen.
