| - Let's be honest. The spread of 1 stars and 5 stars on The Perch is common for a new establishment. The 1 stars here dwell on the opportunities (service deficiencies) and lack any celebration of great service. Any place will have it's balance of these and it's own speed bumps early on, so ease up.
As a mystery shopper, I can attest that The Perch has a fantastic atmosphere, great staff, and an overall delivery model that is unique and classy - definitely a GREAT touch for the DC area. There is honest opportunity present with the staff learning the changing menu; I've been here a number of times and have seen it updated. This is common and expected, but it would behoove the staff to be briefed on the changes.
The food was great and on reading other reviews about the food, service, or cleaniness, I can't really see where they're coming from. The Perch isn't filthy nor is the food or service "that bad" to what the "1 star-ers" are saying.
I urge new patrons to come try The Perch. Though, it's been a little crowded when I've come, I look forward to sitting on the roof next time! The birds, the live music, the slight breeze...all make for a very pleasant atmosphere. 4 stars all the way; -1 star only because there may be 1 or 2 things to improve on, but if I could, I'd say 4.99999 stars!
