Perch offers wonderful views, especially at sunset. The cocktails are delicious,the food is okay. It’s definitely a good option in downtown LA. The live music at sunset time is a nice touch!

We went here after dining at Mrs. Fish. I didn’t understand how the booking on the 13th floor work but the rooftop doesn’t require booking so just let them know. They checked ID! The vibe at the top was nice although most views are blocked by higher buildings. In early summer it’s bit chilly but they have fire. We only managed to find a spot without fire so we left early because it’s too cold. Mocktails are nice!

Pleasantly surprised by this amazing restaurant. Atmosphere is great, food is fabulous and they had a nice jazzy/blues band. Love this place!

I had the filet... Delicious. The cocktails are creative and delicious as well. ❣️

2 thumbs up!

I came here for the first time with friends for brunch. If you arrive before they open, there is a line downstairs on the street they have you wait at. There’s an elevator to take up to the restaurant area. The dining area is nice, lots of open space and city views. The food is okay, could’ve been better but it’s okay for a brunch. I ordered the avocado toast. It was a bit tasteless. If I visit again I may try something else. The drinks were good from what I hear. After ordering at the restaurant, we went up to the rooftop where the views are spectacular. There’s a bar and a couple restrooms, as well as spaces to sit. Definitely a must go for the views.

Awesome Saturday night in downtown LA at the Perch. Brett was very accommodating and engaging. He made our great experience greater. Maybe we got lucky, as this was our first time, but that would be hard to believe. The music on the rooftop was fantastic, we ate excellent meals, had great service, and danced. A spectacular date night.

I truly enjoyed my experience at perch. I arrived during the happy hour around 4 PM. This was the perfect time to go. The restaurant wasn’t really crowded and we got one of the best seats in the restaurant that overlooked the city.

Not only was the view awesome, but the food was also very delicious. 🤤

I recommend coming during the happy hour honestly because you get the opportunity to order a little bit of this and a little bit of that. During this time you can order from their happy hour menu and fromfrom the dinner menu.

The rooftop on the 15th floor is great, but it cannot accommodate many groups. Just five groups can occupy most of the amazing view, leaving no seating space for others. It would have been better if there were more seats. The patio on the lower floor is fantastic, and the ambiance is even better than on the rooftop. I really enjoyed the atmosphere and the warmth from the heaters. Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to try the food as the kitchen was closed, but the other service staff were polite and friendly.

Love the views and vibes here!!! Celebrated here with coworkers and had the best time during happy hr on the dining level then headed upstairs for the amazing view and ambiance. Drinks were great and happy hr foods were very tasty also. Avo toast and mushrooms were a HIT! Sliders and crab cakes were just okay

Perch is an enchanting rooftop bar with a touch of mystery—thanks to its secret elevator. The gorgeous atmosphere, complemented by a stunning LA view, creates the perfect backdrop for a delightful dining experience. The food is not only delicious but thoughtfully crafted, and the friendly staff add to the warmth of the place. A must-return spot for an all-around fantastic evening.

I loved the food, views, and staff. Everything about this place was amazing and staff gave us top notch service from the bartender to the security. We went on a Friday night and there was live music playing. The man sang beautiful. I had steak and it was cooked to perfection! Price was decent too. I highly recommend this place, we had a wonderful night.

Perch is perfect. The atmosphere is absolutely gorgeous. The views are unbeatable from the rooftop bar where there are cocktails, mocktails and firepits. The service was impeccable, the staff was friendly and everything was very clean. There is live music as well. The food was cooked perfectly, reasonably priced and very good. I recommend the starry night mocktail! 💫

All in all, I was a bit underwhelmed with the experience at Perch. The atmosphere of a rooftop in downtown LA was definitely the highlight. The food was good, but not GREAT, though I did appreciate the generous portions on the entrees, which are certainly not typical of more expensive menus. The worst part of the experience was parking. I wanted to find a garage, but the website refused to mention any available garages and only highlighted their $14 valet. Eventually I was willing to just use the valet, since the only other option was a $17 flat rate garage across the street. I indicated I wanted to turn in to the valet, only to be rudely waved off and pointed toward the more expensive garage. When I asked the valet on our way in if valet was available, they said, "yeah, we are" and I asked why I was waved off, he said "oh yeah, we're full." You would think of the restaurant refuses to give other places to park, they would at least make sure their valet is capable of handling a typical weekend dinner. Our waiter inside the restaurant was extremely laid-back and soft-spoken. I don't generally need a super entertaining or involved waiter, but it came off as almost uninterested in what we were doing. Service was fast and accurate, just not welcoming at all. The appetizers were delicious, and the entrees were good. The Starry Night mocktail was probably the best I've ever had. The dessert was a bit rich for my taste. At the end of it, the atmosphere was definitely the selling point. If the prices were a smidge lower and the customer service took a step up, this could easily be a five star.

My Boyfriend surprised me for a Dinner Date at Perch.
The food was Amazing! The French Onion Soup was delicious rich, cheesy goodness, Ribeye was very tender, Bouillabaisse was full of flavor and mounds of Seafood.
The Creme Burlee was very light and fluffy.
On a final note, the Staff was very accommodating and I personally felt like a V.I.P due to "Brett" taking the time to talk to us at the end of our meal, he took the time to talk to each table. I think it was nice personal touch, Perch definitely nailed the customer service.
We will definitely come back to Perch.

Perch is a hidden gem in the heart of downtown LA! The breathtaking view from the rooftop is unmatched, a stunning panorama of the city lights. The ambiance is cozy and elegant, perfectly complementing the delicious French-inspired cuisine. The combination of great drink and an unparalleled view makes Perch a must-visit spot for anyone seeking a delightful evening in Los Angeles!

The food is great Love the onion soup. The atmosphere is exceptional. However this restaurant have literally one of the worst customer service. The server don’t care about customer at all. Have to call them so so many time. The guy that bring out the food was rude. He smack the plate onto my table and walk away. His facial expressions is really look down on us. I don’t know how this business choose to accept this kind of worker. No matter how good the food or atmosphere. I will never come back here again
