    Overall, our meal was just average. My wife’s tenderloin filet was tough. My gruper dish was perfectly acceptable. The meal was a la cart so I ordered a layered potato dish which was cooked on the outside but cool inside. There’s so much competition for decent meals in Orange Beach and Gulf Shores that we don’t return after an average to sub-par meal, which is where we place “Perch”. Although the service was great, we won’t be back.

    Thanks for visiting us, Rick. We appreciate your feedback and are sorry to hear that your meal didn't meet your expectations. We take pride in our quality food and it's clear from your review that we fell short this time. Best, The Management Team

    The vidaila onion soup was fantastic. The whole red snapper was perfect. Good wine list and reasonable prices for a nice night out with a gulf view. Come early and grab a glass of wine and watch the sun set.
    PerchResponded on February 6, 2025
    Thank you, Mark. Our vidaila onion soup has almost caused a riot when we took it off the menu. So happy to hear you enjoyed it. We're glad you chose Perch for a nice night out and we appreciate your feedback. We look forward to your next visit.
