| - I heard about the Perch from some friends and had to check it out for Sunday brunch. I'm a bird person and I'd heard this restaurant had a lot of birds which have been given up by previous owners so I was excited to see that as well. We opted to sit outside in a shady area and were greeted by our server within a few moments. I was not too hungry this day so only ordered their pretzel to snack on and a drink. I am going to start by saying that the pretzel I'd seen in some of the yelp pics looked great (large pretzel served with a cheesy sauce) but that is not what I received. Apparently they've changed it to 3 pretzel sticks served warm (ooh so good) and it came with a cold cheese dip, which was not for me. Mind you, nothing wrong with it but I didn't feel that warm pretzel and a cold cheese dip (textured like cream cheese so you have to use a knife to put on your warm pretzel) go well together, it just doesn't make sense. Our server was awesome though and got me some warm cheesey dip instead, this was wayyyy better though so if you require the same, please ask. I do feel this should be a bit clearer on the menu as well in order to avoid this happening again in the future. Now for my friend's plates they had: the pancakes which I heard were wonderfully filling. Also, the toast with avocado and eggs was delicious. My other friend ordered a skillet with eggs and sausage and said it was a nice amount, very filling and great flavors but that it was not really sausage the way she expected, apparently it was more of a different texture like smoother and no spice. I do not eat meat, so I can't say much about it but if you are expecting sausage and you order that specific dish you might be a little disappointed. Overall, I really enjoyed the feel of this brewery and think the birds have an awesome new place to call home. I wish I enjoyed beer because it seems like they have a great selection and you can always sit on the roof top and watch the sunset while having a drink, very cool indeed. As a vegetarian I don't feel there's a ton of choices to be had but it's a brewery and pub so what can you expect. I think the service was wonderful and the food was good but needs better menu descriptives. Check it out, pretty cool place to eat.
