About Perch
Perch is a French restaurant on S Hill St in Los Angeles, reached by elevator to the 13th floor, with a further terrace and bar one floor up. The menu runs to 36 dishes, with steak frite and Chilean sea bass among the entrée options, alongside Oolong tea and Mexican Coke on the drinks list. A live band performs during dining service, and a patio adds outdoor seating for guests who want to eat in the open air. Reservations are recommended, and a wait is common even so. A private dining room is set aside for groups, and a set menu is available for private parties. Valet parking is offered at the entrance, and the entrance itself is step-free for visitors with mobility needs. High chairs are available for families with young children. The restaurant also offers takeaway and delivery for those eating off site. It opens daily, and a fireplace sits within the space.

Customer Review Summary
Service is described inconsistently: many note attentive staff who check in often on drinks and refills, while others report long waits for orders, servers who disappear after seating, and reservation mishandling, including one large party left waiting 45 minutes at the bar after their table was mistakenly canceled. One diner's steak frite came out rarer than requested twice despite asking for medium well. A single reviewer describes feeling racially overlooked when their birthday song was cut short compared to another table, and another reports valet damaged their car's rim and management declined to review footage or refund the parking fee.

“Back at The Perch, and it never disappoints! The food was absolutely delicious, as always, and the service was amazing. Great food, great atmosphere, and another wonderful experience. Looking forward to coming back again!”

“I’ve been a customer of this beautiful restaurant for a long time, and once again, after going to court with my boss, this Friday we stopped by for dinner. We had a reservation for 5:45 PM, but arrived about 30 minutes early. There were around 15 empty tables available, and the host who greeted us said our table would be ready in 5 minutes. When I came back after 5 minutes, she told me that all the tables were reserved — even though many tables outside in the back were completely empty. I explained that my boss is diabetic and needed to sit down and eat something, so we went to the bar. Unfortunately, the service at the bar was just as disappointing. The two bartenders (one Latino and one American) completely ignored us while chatting with other customers as if nobody else was there. I had to repeatedly ask to be helped, while the other bartender continued ignoring us altogether. I found it extremely disrespectful. Meanwhile, there were about six employees standing around the bar talking and laughing as if they had nothing to do. After waiting 45 minutes, we finally got our table, and the host then came over to tell us that our reservation had been mistakenly canceled. I don’t know if the management has changed or if the restaurant now has incompetent staf they are very slow, but this level of service is unacceptable for a restaurant like Perch.”

“We had an absolutely amazing experience at Perch in LA! From the very first moment, we were welcomed so warmly and taken care of right away, which made us feel truly at home. …”
- Shahram Mehraban
“Had a fantastic experience at Perch in downtown LA celebrating a private birthday party on the terrace. The setting really delivers—elevated views, great ambiance, and a lively but still intimate vibe that works perfectly for a group event. The set menu was well executed across the board, and the filet was a standout—perfectly cooked and easily the highlight of the meal. On the drinks side, the Penthouse Passion cocktail was a clear crowd favorite and definitely worth ordering. Service was smooth and well-coordinated given the size of the group, which isn’t always easy to pull off. Valet was convenient at $17.50, making arrival and departure hassle-free. Overall, Perch is a strong choice if you’re looking to host a memorable event in DTLA with great food, solid cocktails, and a standout atmosphere.”
