    This is food that is filled with passion and heart. Every little detail is thought about and made better. For example, we ordered oysters which were from Prince Edward Island that night. Absolutely sweet and delectable. But Chef Charles elevated the cocktail sauce to one of the best versions I have ever had. Every bite that night made me swoon. Inventive, creative using Japanese flavors and French techniques to give us an amazing dining experience. In addition, the service staff is warm and delightful and the restaurant is comfy and homey. I love Charles Namba's cooking at Tsubaki but Camelia is a dream come true for him and for us who get to eat his inspired food

    Perch LA has been around for a long time. This was the first time we had dinner there. I didn’t know what to expect. It was outstanding. Ambience :  beautiful views of downtown LA. We sat outside , which I I recommend. They have heaters, but you should still wear warm clothes to be comfortable . The inside is dark, old and looks rundown. The inside needs upgrading. We had Chilean Seabass , which was outstanding. We don’t like risotto.(I think that’s what it comes with) so we substituted it with mixed vegetables. Amazing. We also had a great lettuce salad, and truffle cheese fries. Yum Yum. This was plenty of food for two people to share. And, delicious ice cream with coffee. Great service. Thank you .

    Great service, friendly staff. I was craving something like an açaí bowl and had the chia pudding, it was really rich and chocolatey with fresh fruit.
