| - Located upstairs, in the back corner of the Container Park, The Perch really makes the most of what they've got. The dining room is open, bright, and very comfortable, with the bar being the main star of the space. My partner and I were greeted quickly when we walked in. The gentleman gave us the choice of two awkward tables in the dining room (well, one was in the entryway of the restaurant, and the other was an awkward high top in the middle of the dining room), so we opted to go outside. Not sure if they were understaffed, or if we caught the tail-end of a massive dinner rush, but every open table was dirty, and most not even pre-bussed. It took him about 5 minutes to clean our table (we were, however, greeted by every employee while we waited), and I must admit, it was worth it. The evening was beautiful last night, and the singer on the main stage of the Container Park was very talented, which really help compliment the evening for us, since we were celebrating a new job that I just landed.
Our server, Alexis, was very friendly and accommodating. She was obviously busy, but she made it a point to come chat it up with us on a few occasions. It turns out that my partner and I know her sister's boyfriend - Vegas is really a small town, when you get down to it. How often do you have organic, pleasant conversations with your server, and figure things out like that? My partner has a tomato allergy, so she was able to come up with substitution ideas on the fly, and they were spot-on!
We started with the Bianca Flatbread, and added the prosciutto, of course. I love it when they print the up charge on the menu so there isn't a question of what you're getting yourself into. The Flatbread was delicious, crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, the toppings were generous and the sauce was delicious.
I used my Yelp Check-In and got a small glass of the 1664 Blanc. I've had 1664 before, but never the Blanc. I was living for this beer! I really enjoyed the peach notes, and how smooth it was. I had to get a pint.
I had the Hanger Steak Sandwich for my main course. It was cooked to a perfect medium, like I asked, and the caramelized onions were on point. The mayo was a bit overpowering, and the bread a little too tough, but it was still very enjoyable. The fries were great. My partner gave the fries a 6 out of 10, but I say they were more of an 8. Lol They were crispy on the edges, but still soft inside. The seasoning and truffle oil really set them off.
This was a great first impression, and can't wait to try them out again. I had my eyes on the Chicken and Waffles...
