I know, dumb of me to come anyways, but I promise that's not the only reason I think The Perch deserves 3 stars. However, it is important to note that it can get pretty loud on the patio (like, hard-to-hold-a-conversation loud) if the birds all get riled up. That being said, the patio is the best place to sit when it's not too hot out.
We came here for brunch and were a little bummed that we couldn't get tots until 11. But we stuck around for a bit, so we were able to get the garlic, herb, and goat cheese tots later on. Pretty tasty, but it threw us for a bit of a loop that the goat cheese was liquid. I chose the chicken and toffles for my meal, which was okay. The fried chicken was just a few chicken strips, which weren't terrible or anything, just not at all what I was expecting and nothing to rave about. The beer sausage gravy didn't taste very beer-y, just kind of like a general gravy. I did enjoy the over easy egg on top, but that's pretty hard to screw up. The toffle itself was a cool concept but I think better in theory than execution. Overall, a bit underwhelming.
The service was okay. Food came out pretty quickly despite the place being fairly full, and our waitress was perfectly nice, but couldn't answer a few of our questions. This normally wouldn't be a huge issue, but she struggled with a lot of the beer questions, which I was taken aback by considering it's a brewery.
I do like that this place has a separate gift shop with some pretty cool things. and particularly enjoyed that you can get a lot of merch with Luna on it.
