The Perch

My mom and I had brunch here this afternoon and I have to say everything was amazing. The staff is so friendly and inviting, loved that! And the food was just what we needed to start our Sunday. We had the bottomless mimosa, you definitely can’t go wrong there. Lol we had a watermelon and lime mimosa that was so bomb I couldn’t just stop at 1. I don’t remember our waitresses name but she was awesome! Thank you to the staff at The Perch for everything, you guys are the best!

It’s tough keeping up with the new restaurants opening in Downtown Las Vegas, but I felt like I had to give this place a try after hearing friends and colleagues rave about it.
Tomato Bisque: It must’ve been over 105 degrees outside during my visit, but this bowl of soup sounded too good to pass up. It’s rich and flavorful, and it packs a bit of heat, but not enough to break a sweat.
The Terrace: Love corn? This is your jam. I wasn’t expecting a whole bowl of grilled corn! The salad was topped with grilled shrimp, tomatoes, chimichurri, and avocado slices. I would’ve preferred more avocado. Otherwise, this was tasty.
Lemon Cheesecake: This has to be one of the best cheesecakes I’ve ever had. It’s a no-​bake cake that had a refreshing lemon flavor. The graham cracker crust was solid. From what I’ve been told, the chef likes to mix things up when it comes to desserts, so daily offerings are always changing. However, I’d probably order this again and again if it were available.
I may have to return to try their burgers and sandwiches, but it’ll be difficult not to order the tomato bisque and lemon cheesecake.

Great food great atmosphere and our waitress Bianca was the best. She kept the mimosas flowing and was super friendly and very attentive. And the food was amazing. Love this place.

We came for brunch and Bianca took amazing care of us! Bottomless mimosas/​bellinis are a must! We had the monkey bread (get it!), steak and eggs tacos, chicken and waffles, and breakfast hash. Highly recommend this place!
Service was excellent! Thank you Bianca!

Perch burger sooooo good, also the ceviche was on point, great friendly staff and food

Incredible location. Outstanding service from our bartender Stefan. Good food and bottomless Bloody Mary’s? Oh, we’ll be back and certainly recommending to friends that visit downtown.
Had to take away one star because the Bloody Mary mix left much to be desired. To be fair, my wife and I have spent a lot of time in the capital city of bloodys (Wisconsin) and have very high standards for our favorite hangover cure.

The atmosphere is super trendy and it has a great ambience the Moscow Mule was very tasty and the truffle oil flatbread pizza with prosciutto was yummy

WOW, talk about a great first impression that meets every expectation. Opening now at 9 AM, my wife and I arrived at 9:30 ready for a Bloody Mary, after a typical Friday night Las Vegas binge. The Perch is located at the very rear of Container Park, so you don’t see it at you enter the Park. Two very friendly security guards greeted us at the entrance, informed us that only one place was open (the retailers open at 11 AM), «The Perch» they said and directed to the rear.
The approach is very inviting with a terrace that’s starts as a sky walk, leads to the entrance, then continues around the entire bistro.
The staff was wonderfully positive with welcoming warm smiles and present natures.
The ambiance is jazzy with a hyper-​modern mix that is bright while intimate … a pleasing dichotomy.
All that and my palate was totally satisfied.

The food is honestly 4 stars, which is very good in my book. The 5^th star however, is for the service.
On one occasion when we dined here, I asked if their OJ was fresh squeezed and I was told it is not. This is a very common instance in which I say no thanks and life goes on.
Halfway through the meal, she brings me a tall glass of OJ. They were a bit slow as it was the middle of the day, so they made some fresh squeezed for me. Way above and beyond, especially since service was top notch otherwise as well.
Great burgers.
Will definitely be back.

Stopped by for dinner last night before heading to the FSE to see a Joan Jett concert.
I’ve tried to eat here before but the first time I showed up for a (late) lunch with a few family members, they were having a private event so it was a no go. We’re locals so I knew I’d give it another shot since I really like the vibe of container park and knew I’d be back.
When we arrived, a very polite young lady promptly approached us and greeted us. We asked to sit on the patio and she let us pick our table. «Reserved just for us» she said… lol
She left and then came back with menus, place mats and utensils and let us know someone would be with us shortly. There seemed to be a little confusion as to who our server would be so we sat waiting for a LITTLE bit longer than I think «usual». Once they figured out who, our server was Daniel, (cool mustache dude!) he was friendly and helpful to all our questions.
We started with an appetizer of fried calamari. It had bits of lightly breaded and fried jalapeños and lemon slices served with aioli. It was very tasty. The fried lemon slices were a delicious touch!
Next, our entrees:
I had the grilled salmon on a bed of roasted cut asparagus and Brussels sprouts topped with salsa cruda (it was actually an avocado mash) the vegetables were roasted to absolute perfection! Its the ONLY way to eat Brussels in my opinion.
My husband had the Hanger Steak and carmelized onion sandwich which he said was excellent.
At the end of our meal, there was an awkward snafu with our check getting mixed up with another guest but Daniel apologized sincerely and provided us with an itemized printout of our check which just so happened to be the exact dollar amount of another couple who had just dined there. He was totally honest and up front about it, which we appreciated. Not a huge issue, as long as its the correct amount.
Certainly not worth ruining an over all great dining experience or losing a star.
The GM Ryan, also approached us and asked about our food and service. He provided a short survey which I filled out. They did a fine job. I look forward to going back with friends and family sometime. Perhaps a weekend brunch sometime or «lunch with the girls».
The portions were big and it was cooked perfectly the way we like it. Kudos to the chefs !
The food prices were VERY fair and the quality of the food was great which will keep us coming back.

This was my first time trying this place and I have to say I am sooo impressed! The service was amazing! Stefan was our waiter and he was nice and just thought of everything we needed ahead of time!
I got the fried chicken burger but asked them to replace the fried chicken with a burger patty and I have to say this was the best burger I have ever had!
Will be back for sure

Good for sightseeing and ambiance wise. Good food but not extraordinary. Great for girl-​brunching coz really all we need are unlimited mimosas.

This place is over the top perfection. Sexy staff, mouth watering food, clean and bright, and just a real genuine 5 stars!
The chicken and waffles are to die for! The mimosas and bloodymary’s are strong! Fantastic brunch spot, and it’s cool if you have to wait a bit for a table, they just text you on your cell phone. You can check out other little spots in the container park!
I feel the need to add this part to my review:
They are a fairly new spot, and were giving out a tiny quick questionnaires with your bill. I quickly filled it out and handed it in. When I returned from my vacation a day later I had an email directly from the manager. Mind you, it was not a boring generated email, like an actual answer to my suggestions. WOW! Now whats better than that, I ask… oh yeah… their chicken and waffles lol

I enjoyed the location, the view, and the décor/​atmosphere. But it stops there, unfortunately.
I had really high hopes for our lunch date at The Perch but we must’ve come in at the worst time because the service was REALLY lacking. It was almost time for us to get up and find another place to grab some Sunday afternoon brunch when our server finally showed up. We seriously sat there and watched from outside about 3 – 5 servers grouped around the bar chatting and walking around and resetting the indoor tables (that weren’t even being used because it was such a nice day). I’ve been a server before, cool if you’re doing a shift change but don’t do it where customers are waiting to be greeted! We can see you & it looks really bad when we’re thirsty and hungry, okay?
When we finally did get someone to take our drink and food orders… they weren’t extremely knowledgeable about their drink selections. We worked through it and found a beer to try. That was about the only good thing about this lunch, the beer.
We ordered a few small bites: a large chopped salad and shrimp scampi. For the price point we thought it was going to be an actual Shrimp Scampi dish with pasta. Forgive me if I sound a bit country here but where the heck was the food?! We got a few pieces of shrimp in some sauce. The sauce was decent, but that’s about it. I could not get over calling the dish shrimp scampi and not having pasta. The chopped salad was just doing too much… too many weird flavors with all the ingredients.
Perhaps the service was a fluke and it bled into the rest of our experience. Maybe one afternoon we’ll give this place another shot. Hopefully it’ll be better.

This review is purely based on experience seeing as I haven’t had the pleasure of trying their food just yet. After dinner downtown, my bestie and I decided we wanted just one more drink before we headed home. We had heard good things from friends about Perch and went for it!
Without even trying their food, I already fell in love with this place. We walked in and sat at the bar. The bartender was SO friendly and made our whole experience wonderful! I decided to go out on a limb and try their Caiparinha. Now, it is hard to impress me when making one of these because I’ve spent some time in Brazil and know exactly how one of these should taste Brazilian style. Well, I was not disappointed! The drink was pretty authentic and impressive.
I can’t wait to go back and try their food, especially their brunch! Great spot downtown in Container Park! Can’t wait to update this review when I go back!

Cruising the Container Park and decided we could use a beverage. So we climbed the stairs to check out The Perch.
When we checked out the menu, we decided to have a late lunch — which was really pretty fabulous: Fried Green Tomatoes done with light corn meal and a tasty side sauce — we ordered a double, because… well, because we were so excited to have them! Tuna Tartar with mango and avocado was as lovely as it was tasty, served with a side of crisp crackers. And hand cut Fries, plenty to share.
Sis had a hard iced tea and proclaimed it perfect — I had a soft lemonade and was happy, too.
We enjoyed our impromptu lunch on the deck, overlooking the rest of the park. Inside there were also tables and air conditioning and a beautiful full bar.
Service was quick and super nice — definitely check out The Perch!

If you haven’t been to Container Park you should check it out.
Very friendly staff. My wife tried one of their signature drinks (Pena Berry Margarita) and it was to salty for her so they made her another drink without a fuss. That’s always a plus in my book. Normally she gets her Margarita’s without salt.
Started with the Fried Calamari, very good. The Jalapeño’s were browned which cut down on the heat and the Lemon Aioli was a nice dipping sauce.
Bianca Flat bread, this is good enough to be your entrée if you looking for something a little lighter than burgers or pasta.
Spicy Shrimp Pasta just the right amount of heat, balanced.
The Perch Burger. I’m not a guy that likes tomato on my burger but the fried green tomato was a nice touch. I’d definitely get this again. I always like a good burger with my beer.

The Perch is a little restaurant located in Container Park in Downtown Las Vegas. It’s on the second level of the park in the southwest corner of the park. It’s accessible either by stairs or elevator. I visited the Perch for the first time during the evening on the weekend with a party of three.
Atmosphere: Hip, bright, and new!
Being merely seated in the Perch, either outside or inside, is a great experience, in my personal opinion. The combination of the bright lights from the evening outdoors and the colorful backdrop of the pink-​and-​yellow-​lit bar display created a fun and enjoyable atmosphere. I think it was very clever that the napkin «holder» also doubled as a fold-​out menu, so the Perch gets bonus points for creativity.
Service: Stellar!
The waiter we had this evening was very nice to us. One of my patrons wanted to retake a picture that the waiter had taken of us and our waiter kindly did so.
Food: Great!
The margherita pizza was light yet delicious. A friend of mine had the chipotle burger and it looked pretty appetizing from where I was sitting. It all was served within a reasonable time of ordering the food.
Overall: Come visit!
This is a very cool, up-​to-​date place that has a great environment and staff. Worth a visit for the experience on the second floor of Container Park.

Located in Downtown Container park, the restaurant is perched on the second floor. We went there for brunch today, beautiful day to sit outside. We waited for 30 mins for a table as there was a wait.
The place was modern and airy. The menu was skillets and biscuits for bunch and flatbreads, salad, steak and salmon for dinner. We ordered two cocktails and the drinks came in 25mins and then the food a few minutes later.
The chicken and waffles was super crunchy and delish.
The service was bad. The waitress was unattentive. We were baking outside for 25mins and had to go in and get water. Throughout brunch we had to ask for more water, and napkins twice. I would have given one star ratings but the food was good so decided on three star ratings.
Recommend trying out this place and hope you get a better server!

I went to The Perch on Easter Sunday with a group of friends after one of them found out about it in a Thrillist article. I’m really glad we discovered the place because everything about it was incredible. The food, location, and service were all on point.
Located on the second floor of Container Park, we had a great view of the lawn below where all of the families were watching their kids play with the blocks.
We asked our awesome server, Nora, what she recommended on the menu and she told us about the Breakfast Steak Tacos, Bananas Foster French Toast, and Smothered Egg Biscuits. We ordered one of each and did not regret that decision. The latter of which was my order and I devoured it in record time. It was almost too good! The homemade gravy was out of this universe. We all sampled each other’s dishes and we couldn’t get over how delicious everything was.
For dessert, we ordered the Monkey Bread. Again, phenomenal. Nora even put a candle in it because we told her that it was our friend’s birthday, so we also sang «Happy Birthday» to him.
For drinks, we paid $ 15 for bottomless Mimosas and Bloody Marys. Definitely well worth it.
I definitely recommend The Perch to brunch fans looking for a relaxing, casual environment with incredible service. I’ll definitely be coming back here when I find myself in Vegas again.
