| - FIRST TIME VISITOR FAIL: Because of my work schedule, Fridays and Saturdays are precious. Its rare that we have a chance to get out, and we used our one shot to check out the much touted Perch. We arrived at 5:20 (still 40 minutes of happy hour left.), and to our chagrin, they told us it would be at least 20 minutes until they could seat us. They said it was because they were full, but there were multiple tables open. We stood off to the side for several minutes to see if they would find us a table. The hostess finally came over to us and said we could sit at an empty table, but we would not get served because they only had 2 servers on staff and they were too busy. She further stated that another server would not arrive until 6 pm. When Joan asked if she could just get us a beer, the hostess stated that because she was punched as a hostess, she couldn't serve us. Well, don't worry, Perch. You successfully turned us away, and convinced us not to come back. It may be a very unique place, but your poor service towards a first time customer has made us a last time customer, or should I say, a NEVER customer.
