Perch: A Great View of Downtown LA

 Looking up at Perch from Pershing Square (the grey upper level covered in tress of the building behind the park).

Perch is a newish French restaurant and lounge on the 15th floor of a building on the corner of Pershing Square. As you can see, it has a fun vibe (my friend described it as Alice in Wonderland chic) and great view (from up there Pershing Square actually looks nice). These pictures are from two different trips: one was a dinner date with my boyfriend and the other was a drinks with a girlfriend this past Friday. Having now been during Perch's first week open and after they've been open for a month, I can say that it has definitely gotten better. The service is more prompt and attentive, and the food (judging just by the chicken cordon bleu poppers) seems to have improved as well (more cordon bleu to balance out the chicken). And the biggest improvement? flavored champagne drinks have been added to the happy hour menu! $6 will get you a glass of champagne with your choice of liqueur added (strawberry, blackberry, raspberry, peach, lilac, and cassis).
