    Menu looks awesome, but they cut corners a bit on quality and it shows. Service was slow but friendly. The ambiance can’t be beat, just amazing views, honestly worth it for that for at least one night during your stay. We’ve had some amazing food at this price point but the value isn’t here in terms of quality. Portions are big though for this type of restaurant.
    PerchResponded on December 1, 2024
    Thank you for your review. We are disappointed you found our menu lacking quality. We do try to provide a great experience for everyone but we missed the mark for you. Thank you for visiting us.

    I booked this for Thanksgiving through a google search for open restaurants in the Orange Beach area. The listing stated that there was a buffet for $55. We chose a 545pm seating. Upon arrival the hostess said there was no buffet but there had been one at a different restaurant in the park earlier in the day. The listing was incorrect and I don't know if the error belonged to Perch or Open Table. It was a nice restaurant but not what my elderly relatives wanted for the holiday.
    PerchResponded on December 4, 2024
    Hello Susan, We wanted to start by saying sorry for the miscommunication between our two restaurants. The two restaurants in the same building, one on the bottom floor, Foodcraft and the other Perch which is located upstairs. We apologize for the inconvenience with Opentable as the bookings for both restaurants can tie together sometimes. I am glad to hear we accommodated your party but missed the buffet experience in Foodcraft for Thanksgiving. We hope to see you soon at another one of our Holiday Buffets. Thank you

    We were seated promptly at a nice window table overlooking the Gulf, and our waiter Will was most pleasant and professional. Our food and cocktails were excellent—my filet was perfectly cooked. Loud music over the sound system detracted from the ambiance; something like soft jazz at a lower volume would have been more appropriate. That’s a minor quibble, considering the food and the view!
    PerchResponded on November 9, 2024
    Hey Nell, Thank you for taking the time to leave us such a wonderful review. We're glad to hear that our service was up to the mark. We appreciate your feedback about the music and we are currently working on a way to control the overall noise level. We do offer live Jazz Saxophone on Thursday and Friday nights, however. We look forward to welcoming you back soon for another excellent dining experience. Best regards, The Management Team
