Wow. We checked out this place a year ago for future reference and the future is now. We were intrigued by the greenery on the 15th floor visible from Pershing Square and had to take two elevator rides to get here, but it is worth it. Beautiful setting, fabulous views, great service, and incredible food. I had a My Fair Lady, a twist on a cosmo, plus a grand marnier served in okay glasses.My husband and I shared the baked brie with a flaky crust and quality melted brie. My lettuce cup salad came with a perfect, large grilled salmon, moist and tender. My husband's beef was perfection itself. Even on a Wednesday, the place was very popular, especiallyl for their happy hour 4 to 6. A pleasant upscale crowd enjoying the views on a warm May evening made for a memorable meal.
Perch sits (as the name implies!) atop a classic old office building across from Pershing Park in downtown Los Angeles. Sweeping views of the park and downtown. Opens at 4pm for Happy Hour, and 5pm for dinner. The menu is French inspired. The wine list is impressive, the cocktails well crafted. Service was quick, efficient, and friendly. Our dishes were delicious. We went midweek and it was busy. Reservations are recommended, and I can see why.
Perch LA is definitely a restaurant with a view. From the live music to the rooftop city lights, the whole place had such a fun and vibrant ambiance. The staff were friendly, bathrooms were clean, and the rooftop after dinner was the perfect spot to hang out with a drink and enjoy the LA skyline. Cocktails were a great start to the night. I had the Summer Solstice - bright, fruity, and dangerously easy to drink. Hubby ordered the Otto, which gave old fashioned vibes. For starters, we shared the surf and turf skewers and French onion soup. Both were delicious, though I do wish the onion soup came with French bread to soak up all the cheesy goodness and flavor. For entrees, the Chilean sea bass was moist, flaky, and seasoned really well. The boeuf bordelaise was very tender, though slightly on the dry side. We ended with their famous bread pudding dessert and it absolutely lived up to the hype. Overall, such a great spot for date night, drinks, dinner, and rooftop views in the city.
What a great experience They truly know how to make your birthday feel special. I came here to celebrate my birthday on a busy Saturday night, and from the moment we walked in, the ambiance was amazing and everyone was so pleasant. We had reservations for 7:30pm, arrived around 7:15, and were seated almost immediately. Our waiter was incredibly nice and accommodating, especially when it came to adding an extra person to our party. I know a lot of restaurants aren't always willing to do that, so it was very appreciated. We also mentioned it was my birthday, and they truly went above and beyond to make the night special. We started with an appetizer, but unfortunately I think it may have been forgotten because we never received it. I was honestly really excited to try it, but even with that small issue, I still wasn't disappointed with the service at all. For drinks, I ordered the spicy margarita and WOW--it did not disappoint It had the perfect amount of spice and somehow made the margarita even better. For my main dish, I ordered the ribeye with potatoes, and when I say it was amazing, I mean it. The steak was packed with flavor, cooked perfectly, juicy, and not dry at all. Easily a 10/10. I was so full I couldn't finish the last piece, but my brother-in-law happily took it because it was just that good At the end of the night, they brought out a glass for everyone to cheers to my birthday, along with a candle to celebrate me, which was such a sweet touch. Everything about the night felt special and memorable. I honestly wouldn't have wanted to celebrate any other way. I can't wait to come back for another spicy margarita and enjoy the atmosphere all over again
This has seriously been on the to do list for many many years as a frequent visitor to DTLA for my food cravings. Visited years ago or as they say back in the day for cocktails only. We finally had brunch and I was disappointed given the 11k+ reviews. We ordered the cheddar bacon burger, rib eye chilaquiles, and steak and fritted. The burger was probably the best with exception of the over slop of the sauce that drenched the brioche bun. The steaks were just mid. The cocktails were on point. Definitely not the go to for brunch but still perfect for cocktails. While I can appreciate vintage and preservation of history the interior decor just felt drab and the bathrooms left much to be desired. Love DTLA so on to the next
This was my first time at Perch. I didn't have dinner. I went to the top and had drinks. They were made to perfection. Fascinating views all over LA. It cool vibe. There are some couches and chairs to sit. First come , first serve. It can be packed there . I was able to gets seats when I went. The only bad part was the dirty bathrooms.
Food review will be included in the pics. Just an FYI, if you have a big group(9+) prefix menu will be required. Service was good overall. Thought that the time between courses (prefix) was a bit long. But maybe they waited for everyone to finish. But overall, attentive to all our needs. Ambience was classic. Chairs were a bit combursome. Tough to move even needed. Otherwise, great environment.
Perch has been on my to-go list for so long I couldn't recall why I added it. We came here for an early pre-show dinner on a warm afternoon. We sat outside in the patio and the shade wasn't fully effective in blocking out the setting sun. The service was really good. The waitress was attentive and our water was constantly being refilled. We chose a few of their most popular dishes and we all enjoyed our food. The steaks were cooked perfectly but the cuts were good but not great. The frites were not the greatest. Maybe it would've been better if it was a little more well done. we thought maybe just having it plain would be better. But we enjoyed our food and our time at Perch. We did try to go to the bar but you have to be 21 after 6pm so we took a quick look and headed to Grand Central for some ice cream for dessert!
My sister-in-law was in the city for a class on Saturday, so I wanted to treat her to lunch for her to actually see downtown. I thought, what better place with a lovely concrete jungle view (hah). We arrived around 1:30 ish and it was a little busy, but we were seated right away on the outdoor patio. She was in awe of the lovely aesthetic and the view. We ordered almost immediately. I went with the Noix de Coco cocktail and the Smoked Salmon Benedict, which came with potatoes. Everything was fantastic. My sister-in-law kept it simple with a sweet tea and The Perch Burger. She loved both the burger and the fries. I've been to the bar at Perch about four times with my husband, but this was the first time trying the restaurant for a meal. The food did not disappoint, and the vibe is just as wonderful during the day, although, nothing beats the view of the city lights at night. I will definitely be back for brunch with my husband to enjoy more of the food.
I was looking forward to dinner here and was underwhelmed. I really liked the ambiance and the rooftop seating. The service was not good, very slow and couldn't tell me anything about the wine. This may seem like I'm knit picking but this is not an inexpensive restaurant. Their Steak Frites was interesting. I don't know that I'd go back.
We came for my friends birthday and it was raining. We got valet and it was an easy process. We were guided to the elevators and up to the restaurant. It was nice and classy. We got sat and I ordered the steak frites. It was delicious and def enough to fill you up! It seemed like they were short staffed because there were moments where it took a long time and there wouldn't be a server that checked up on us. read more

Rooftop bar on 16th floor. Beautiful patio with full bar & plenty of seats & tables. Drinks were delicious & refreshing on a sunny day. read more
Perch absolutely delivered. I ordered the steak frites and the chicken supreme, and both were executed beautifully. The steak frites were cooked perfectly--tender, flavorful, and paired with crispy fries that had just the right amount of seasoning. Simple, classic, and done right. The chicken supreme was juicy and comforting, with rich flavor that felt elevated without being heavy. The ambiance is warm and inviting, making it a great spot for a relaxed dinner that still feels special. Service was attentive without being overbearing, which always makes the experience that much better. Perch is one of those places you leave already thinking about what you'll order next time. Definitely worth a visit. read more
Came here to celebrate my dad's birthday. Completely recommend reservations before you go. They have a valet service to park your car as parking downtown can be tricky. When you enter from the elevators, you are taken to their rooftop space. This is where the views are. Their food for the night was really good also. The steak was cooked perfectly. Service was also top notch. Would come back for another nice night out. read more
Perch is a hip spot, in my opinion. I went for brunch and it was a great vibe. There was live music, which consisted of drums, electric bass, electric guitar, and a vocalist. The style was sort of R&B, with a bit of a retro 90s hip hop and neo soul touch. The service was very good. The weather and ambience were fantastic. We were upstairs on an outdoor patio. It was total downtown Los Angeles chill time. I ordered two mimosas, and poached eggs with chicken sausages and potatoes. It was tasty. Apparently they have a rooftop bar that is open pretty late. I'd definitely go back. read more

This place is so vintage yet so beautiful! Just fyi it's on the 15th floor. Came with a group of friends and their service was great. It was hard to choose what to eat since everything sounded amazing. I had the Gnocchi Pesto with chicken and it was delicious. It is indeed a little pricey but it's worth it. There is a rooftop bar and a beautiful panoramic view of the city. Reservations are highly recommended. read more

This place is always a vibe! I order the surf & turf skewers the shrimp was cooked perfect but the meat was sooo chewy so 3/5 on that. Also ordered the steak frites, wayyyyyy better the meat was so tender 5/5. The Mac & cheese & fries were alright nothing to crazy. Everything under $150 for 2 people. My waiter was also very nice & took her time to answer & clarify questions we had about certain menu items. Then after dinner we headed to the rooftop bar also a vibe there, good music, & good times. read more

This was my first time here wanted to bring my wife somewhere special saw a lot of reviews on different platforms raving about how great this restaurant was and they weren't wrong . Everything was amazing from start to finish. Food was delicious. Service was outstanding. They sat us next to the patio with an amazing city view. Couldn't ask for anything more highly recommend. read more
Our son picked this place for a Sunday brunch to help celebrate my wife's birthday. It was our first time here but he had been there several times before. The views of the downtown area and Pershing Square were a big highlight, but not the only highlight. The restaurant is wonderful and the live music was another big plus. The menu looked amazing as well. My wife had the Crab Benedict which was okay. Would have been better if they used real crab instead of imitation. I had the French Toast which was amazing. Our son and son in law had the Huevos Rancheros and the 3 Egg Omelette. They must have been good because they both cleaned their plates. For dessert we tried the Almond Cake. It was okay but I would not have it again. Very dry and had a very different texture. The service was okay as well. Kind of disappointed when one of the other servers moved our umbrella to give another table our share which put two of us in the sun. No apologies or concerns about doing that. They might have gotten a better review. read more
When I think of perch I think it's safe to say it's a downtown Los Angeles staple When I think of this place I immediately think of night time, dinner, drinks and an amazing view. This was my first time having lunch here and I was still blown away I had the pleasure of seeing my friends and even meeting a new friend for lunch. And it was beautiful. Parking sucks, there is a parking garage on the same side of the road as perch. It was 12 dollars (I don't know if it's open at night or if the prices change at night) MAKE A RESERVATION!! The place is beautiful. I think everyone comes for the view, but if you don't want to dine outside, the inside dining is just as beautiful. I love the atmosphere and how it's decorated. Its gorgeous French vibes We had an outstanding waiter, Javier. Despite the fact the 6 of us were all catching up and chatting away, he was so attentive and kept checking on us to see if we had questions about the menu and if we needed drinks and food to be put in. I enjoyed the drink menu. It went really well with a hot LA day drinking vibe. I loved how a lot of the cocktails had sparkling wine and sparkling rose mixed with other refreshing ingredients I loved the berry LA -Tito's Vodka, Florente, Berries, Lemon, Sparkling Rose The summer solstice-ketel one peach & orange blossom, lemon, simple, sparkling wine And the my fair lady- Reyka Vodka, Créme de Pêche, Cranberry Juice, Lime Juice Food tasted great and everything looked great. It all came out beautifully presented. I didn't order a full meal. I wasn't that hungry. just a couple drinks and dessert. The table ordered some seafood appetizers to share (I'm allergic) but it came out and looked stunning!! And then the rest of the food. The Circus Beet Salad, Yellowtail Carpaccio, Ahi Tuna, Perch Truffle Cheese Fries and I know I'm missing some things Dessert- Almond Cake & White Chocolate Bread Pudding. Service 10/10 Atmosphere 10/10 View 10/10 Whenever you have family or friends come into town or you want to blow someone away, take them to perch. You won't regret it read more
Came to celebrate a friends graduation, made same day reservation & we got sat immediately. Must have ID to even enter the lobby so don't forget it! Food was okay but a hefty price tag. Drinks had a nice balance of alcohol and sweetness. The banana pudding was delicious, definitely recommend that for dessert! Service was fine but did get better as we ended up having a different waiter halfway through. read more

came here to the rooftop bar as part of the dual reservation with mrs fish downstairs. it was pretty packed but as people came and went seating opened up. for anyone confused on how to access the rooftop bar, you need to take 2 elevators from the lobby: the first one up to floor 13 and from there a 2nd elevator up to floor 16. there are staff throughout to help guide you, or you can follow the guy with a cowboy hat & a toothpick in his mouth. he was the best (shoutout!) the view is beautiful and we managed to get a glimpse of the sunset. there were fire pits but i'm not sure if they work, nobody turned them on while we visited. the drinks were decently priced, i used my free drink token to get the my fair lady and oooooooh was that good. tasted like a sour patch watermelon, very good. i am definitely looking into coming back with a larger group read more

There is always a line outside waiting to be let in I came here for drinks on a Thursday evening and it was super busy! They have a rooftop just for drinks and a floor below which is the restaurant. I recommend making a reservation to avoid the long wait times. The view from the top is immaculate. There was a live performer there as you enjoy your dinner and drinks. My friend and I tried the truffle fries which were good, but the cheese on top made it tough to eat a few minutes later once it got cold. As for drinks, we just got shots of henny. Overall, I think the vibes are there, but it is pricey for the small plates they have and the drinks. This is a popular spot many people come to visit in DTLA. read more

The view is gorgeous, and the atmosphere is calm and peaceful. The service is subpar, nothing special at all. Barely got visited by our sever. Nevertheless, the food and drinks were very good. read more
We sat outside on the patio at sunset and had an incredible view! It was easy to make a resy, we did it just a day or two before. Since we got to the restaurant at 5:15, we were able to try a bunch of different appetizers for the happy hour deal. I'd definitely recommend doing that if you're on a budget, as the main entrees tended to be more pricey. Service was nice and attentive! Even though we were tucked away in the back a bit, our waiter came pretty frequently to check in on us. One thing to note is that they don't seat you until you have your full party, unless you're ok with having less time at your table with your full party (I think it's about 1.5 hours). read more

7/18 "Take me away A Secret Place A Sweet Escape Take me away, Take me away..." When you arrive at Perch, you have to take 2 separate elevators. The second one you need to be escorted to...the door will open up to the host's podium where you will immediately feel like you are no longer in LA...As you walk through the bar and main dining area, you will naturally feel relaxed... You are now sitting on the roof top of "Perch,"...YES, that is the feeling baby! Sweet escape! A gentle breeze will blow through your hair while you sip your refreshing cocktail and enjoy your food. Our group ordered our drinks first then our food. I loved the names of the cocktails...each one was intriguing. The witch in me had to go with the "Summer Solstice," Ketel One Peach & Orange Blossom, Juliette Peach, Lemon, Syrup & Sparkling Wine. Very refreshing. Other's ordered the Writers Block, Sunset Spritz & Berry LA. For food we shared: The Circus Beet Salad, Yellowtail Carpaccio, Ahi Tuna, Skirt Steak, Skirt Steak & Perch Truffle Cheese Fries. For dessert: Almond Cake & White Chocolate Bread Pudding. Everything was delicious! *Our server Javier was great and made sure we all got our drinks quickly. Our food came out pretty quickly as well! It was definitely a wonderful experience. It is pricey but every now and then ya just gotta go for it! *Parking meters on the street are rarely free *Park in the garage right next door to The Perch for $10. read more
beautiful ambiance at the restaurant itself. but not for anyone who might have an elevator phobia or can't up a flight of stairs! we appreciated the overhead headers outside & the skyline views of the city lights. service was top notch. they were kind enough to let us switch seats to a warmer area. my honey absolutely loved his filet & asparagus. the whole asparagus was edible, thick, & flavorful according to him. i would love to know how to do that lol. my reason for the 4-stars? the gnocchi. i was talked into it, but i felt the dish to be bland & too pine nutty. it's probably just a preference, but i wish i ordered the vegan option. french onion soup was just ok; that soup is always comforting, but i feel like i've made more flavorful vegetarian french onion soups at home. nonetheless, i would recommend this place to anyone for the scenery alone! read more

I had a great night here . Started the evening with some good drinks , great atmosphere and conversations. Had some pretty tasty food - my medium well steak was perfect . Afterwards we went up to the roof where we enjoyed the beautiful views and good music by the DJ . Sat by the fire pit and had a few drinks and people watched . I love the vibe here ! There was a mix of all nationalities and ages here some dressed up for the evening while some were casual . There is no entrance fee for the rooftop . You do need a reservation for the restaurant if you want to eat but if not go to the bar or hope one of the couches is free . Parking lots are available on both sides of the block . This place does brunch as well . I will be back ! read more
I went here for my husband's birthday and it was really a fun and wonderful outing. The reason why I didn't give it 5 stars really has nothing to do with the restaurant. It was some of the patrons, they were loud and it took away from what really was an incredible ambience and some place that made downtown LA, just really as beautiful as it is. The food was better than good. It was way more than I thought it would be as far as quantity, large portions. The waitress and all the wait staff were superduper courteous helpful gave great suggestions on the food and great options. The rooftop was fantastic. Great views of downtown LA overall it really could have gotten a 5 star if it was just the restaurant alone especially because on a Sunday evening at seven there is live music and that was a real treat so I guess overall maybe 4 1/2 stars. read more
Floating above DTLA with French-inspired bites, dreamy skyline views & golden hour vibes. We had ordered : Truffle cheese fries it was too good and filling. Avocado croissant sandwich with a side of sweet potato fries was perfection My non-alcoholic drink was so refreshing & full of flavor. (Had pomegranate and mint flavor) Tips : Reserve ahead, especially for outdoor tables with the skyline view. Arrive before sunset, as the golden hour here is unreal. The rooftop can get chilly, so bring a light jacket during fall & winter season. Valet or rideshare is easiest; downtown parking can be tricky. read more
I had an absolutely wonderful attending a private event at Perch! The rooftop area was spacious with a wonderful view of DTLA. I loved the easy to access bar and photo ready vantage spots. The staff were very nice and obliging when we asked for their help with taking pictures. The servers were all professional and were everywhere at once, making sure everyone was where they wanted to be. The area was crowded, but I never felt claustrophobic. I like the lines dividing the various sections of the roof. The seating areas were comfy with cushioned couches and chairs. The food was also very very tasty with a nice selection of dishes that were easy to eat, ranging from savory to sweet. I had a blast with my friends and am so happy to have experienced the famous Perch! read more
Amazing views, solid (but pricey) drinks, and hardly any seating is the headline here. This is a must do in the area once in a blue moon, and you really can't get better views of the city than this unless you're on a mountain. The place itself is really impressive looking with a 360 view of downtown LA, but the issue is that everybody else knows about it too! The wait for a drink when we went last weekend was around 25 minutes, and the drinks are about 18-22 bucks without tip. Certainly not the priciest in the city, but it's not a deal either...I had a take on an old fashioned with Japanese whiskey, which was tasty. That said, this place might need to find a solution for the seating situation or limit entrants during peak times. When we went, it was basically shoulder to shoulder, and the lucky 50 people who got seating were holding onto it for their lives the entire night. It can get uncomfortable standing in the same place for two or three straight hours, and it was that night. Maybe more seating could be added, or a general time limit for seating? Just an idea. Anyway, worth the trip for the view, and I do love that they don't do a cover charge - it's why I buy drinks. I'll be back again someday but not for a while - just too cramped to do it too often. read more
It was a lovely sunny day in DTLA and a group of fabulous Elites gathered on a rooftop to enjoy some delicious eats and a beautiful view. Coming here makes you feel like you are attending an exclusive club. A very friendly security guard instructed me to take the elevator to the 13th floor. From there a kind gentleman told me to take another elevator to the restaurant. Once you arrive you will encounter a swanky lounge that will make you feel as if you stepped back in time. Our server Javier was delightful and didn't miss a beat. We ordered a variety of cocktails and yummy dishes, including dessert. I'm sure the other patrons thought we were weird because all six of us took turns taking photos - rearranging glasses and plates to get the perfect pic. Cocktails: Writers Block, Berry LA, Le Jardin, Sunset Spritz, & Chateau Melon (NA) Food: Ahi Tuna, Perch Truffle Cheese Fries with white cheddar pecorino fondue, Squash Blossoms, Yellowtail Carpaccio, Skirt Steak, Circus Beets Salad, Almond Cake, & White Chocolate Bread Pudding. The Writer's Block was tasty, but I would have preferred it served in a bigger glass like a spritz. The fries were delish, and the white cheddar pecorino fondue was a delightful surprise that took the fries to a whole other level of yumminess! Everyone enjoyed their selections and there wasn't a crumb or a drop left. Perch is a fantastic place to celebrate a special occasion. I was here years ago for a friend's birthday, and I can attest that the view is even more spectacular at night! read more

Such a beautiful, classy rooftop bar located in DTLA! Locating this place was a little confusing but definitely worth the views once you arrive. There's plenty of seating to accommodate your party with heaters that'll keep you warm throughout the night. Security guards were very kind and helpful when escorting you to the elevators. Bartender was sweet as well and had a lovely chat with him! This is my new go-to DTLA bar. There's also a restaurant one level below the bar. They had a live band playing and the overall vibes seemed very lively and welcoming. I'll definitely need to try the restaurant next time I visit. read more

Best part of Perch is the rooftop view and food & cocktails. Everything we ate was delicious! Would recommend the Sea Bass the most. The pesto gnocchi was also really good flavor and cooked perfectly. Went on a Friday night so sadly didn't get to enjoy the live music. The rest of the experience was sub par. We first arrive, we are over charged for valet. It's advertised as $15 but charged $17. We check in for our reservation and while we wait went to try and enjoy the rooftop. The elevator would not go up, so then had to find stairs. Once on the rooftop, we were overwhelmed with the amount of people smoking pot (while in front of security). There were three make shift bars set up. Seating is first come first serve but we found a spot in a corner near a little fireplace which was nice. The seats though were outdated and could use a good cleaning. Once we sat down at our dinner table, our waitress brings us waters and menus and walks away. No introduction, no conversation, nothing. She walked by oir table several times without acknowledging us so we had to stop her even to order a drink. The staff seemed more trained to just turn around tables than to actually provide a good service. I honestly don't plan to come back. read more
Gorgeous views, great service, fine food. Came here for brunch and had a nice time! Downtown LA is kinda hit or miss and we were pleasantly surprised with our time at Perch. The location is great. I loved sitting on the rooftop and enjoyed the views of the downtown LA skyline. Our server was also super attentive and friendly. The food was fine. For the price and reputation, I think I was expecting a little more. The baked goods were well done, but nothing stood out as amazing and I felt these items could've been found at a hotel breakfast buffet. The tartare and steak were both well prepared and tasted good. I thought the cheese-covered fries with the steak felt a little heavy, but they tasted great overall. Would recommend if looking for a cute spot with great views for brunch. read more

I've been to Perch a few times in the past for brunch, but this was my first visit going to the lounge upstairs. This is such a cool spot that I would 100% recommend. First off, the views on the rooftop are absolutely amazing which really set the ambiance. There was also a live band performing which was a cool touch. Only con is that it was a bit crowded and hard to find a spot to sit at. The upstairs lounge does not offer food and is drinks only. They offer a variety of alcoholic and non alcoholic options, which were a bit pricey, but there was no cover charge to get in so it offsets that a bit. I personally didn't drink anything here, but I heard from others that the drinks were good and that the bartenders did not skimp on the alcohol. read more

Perch is worth visiting for the views alone -- the rooftop setting is absolutely stunning, especially at sunset. It's one of the best vantage points in downtown LA, and the ambiance up top is undeniably charming. Unfortunately, the food didn't live up to the scenery. For the prices, I was expecting much better. The charcuterie board was mediocre, with meats that didn't feel particularly high quality, and the risotto was just okay -- nothing memorable. Beautiful atmosphere, but the food simply doesn't justify the cost. I'd come back for drinks and the view, but not for dinner. read more

Seeing the views that Perch had to offer made me definitely want to try it out and knew it would be a nice place for a special occasion. The 1st time we went, I was able to get a burger which was fantastic but I guess that was supposedly only for the lunch menu so when I went there again specifically for that I was a bit hurt that I wouldn't be able to have it during that time. I had to settle for the steak frites and it was alright but the dinner menu seemed a bit limited. Outside of the burger, the shirley temple, bread bowl, and live music was definitely the highlight of the meal. read more
Came on a Friday night. Great view of the city. The elevator attendants were always really nice and friendly. The restaurant and lounge got really packed really quickly. You can smell the gas from the fire pits. Did not like that a lot of people were smoking. Got the Otto for $17. The drink was descent tonight. Drink qualities are a hit or miss here. read more

Beautiful views and decent food. Getting to this place was quite the adventure. It is located right in the middle of DTLA where all the skyscrapers are located. There isn't any obvious parking garage so I believe most people will just pull up in front of the building and valet their cars. It's easy to find given there is only one stand with a gigantic umbrella in front of the building. Once you enter the building, you will find yourselves in the elevator lobby. You'll be instructed to take the elevator to the 13th floor, and then someone will walk you across the hallway to take another elevator to the 15th floor where the restaurant is located. The views are really beautiful. I think it is the main reason why this place is so popular. We ordered their prefixed menu which starts with a tasty charcuterie board. My wife got the pork belly and I got the baked brie for our second course. The third/main course was a Chilean sea bass which was tender and really good! It sits on top of a bed of risotto. My wife got the steak frites which tasted good but the fries took over half the plate and the truffle/cheese they put on top was overpowering according to her. Our desserts included chocolate and bread pudding. Overall the food was good, but not memorable. The view of the skyscrapers and sunset is what made this restaurant worth while. We'd come back again in the future for another celebration read more
