   Drinks and service were great, but the food was so oily and there were ants and fruit flies on the bar where we sat.

   Loved it! There was live music playing on the square and it all felt quite festive and fun. The fresh oysters were particularly good!

   Menu was very limited. Cleanliness was not up to standard. Floor was sticky at the host stand. Doors on the coolers behind the bar was dirty. Staff was doing pre shift work that should have been completed prior to them opening for service. Do to that, service seemed a bit lacking.

   The music was at a good level when we got there. Then it got blasted and turned down a little. It was very noisy and it felt like I was screaming across the table to talk. Other than that it was alright. Not much variety of food.

   My girlfriend and I were celebrating our three-year anniversary in Santa Rosa, which I explicitly mentioned in the reservation but was not recognized in any way, and decided to try Perch and Plow. It was quite clear that everybody working on the floor that night was very new. I'm fine waiting when it's busy or when there has at least been acknowledgment from staff that they've seen us, but it felt like they were just ignoring us outright. It pains me to write this because the food was pretty decent and the art in the restaurant is nice, but the service really did not leave a positive impression. I'm sure the pandemic has been tough on them and know running a restaurant is tough. That said I'm not sure I would come back here.

    This place has apparently not done well post-pandemic and seems to likely be struggling with management issues. To start, there was broken glass on the stairs leading up the the restaurant (literally everywhere) and ants crawling on the bar. Our water glasses were also dirty. Not a great start to the evening. Maybe the food and drinks would make up for it? Sadly, nope. Everything was incredibly mediocre (3 different appetizers) and the drinks had WAY too much juice/sugar. My wife could only stomach about a quarter of her cocktail. There was also standing bleach water in the restrooms...It's really hard to describe just how poor everything was top to bottom. The only silver lining is that the staff were largely friendly and helpful, but that did little to save this place from being described a dive. We had intended to stay for dinner, but decided to pick up and leave after appetizers. Very disappointing experience...

    We really wanted to love this place the ambiance and service was awesome but the menu and prices felt like they were trying to be fine dining but the food itself didn’t match expectations. The tuna tartare was a little grey, the salmon was overcooked and the steak felt lonely and bland on the plate with just a tiny bit of wannabe chimichurri. Hope they can adjust the menu and the excitement of the dishes to get back on track.

    The food was sub-par. The duck fat potatoes were bland, Chicken wings were subpar, Brussel sprout were slight burnt, and steak was slightly over cooked. However, the fries that was recommended by the waitress was on the mark. Restaurant was seem clean but the floor were sticky like the floor of a neighborhood dive bar. Suggestion I have is to make sure the waitress and kitchen communicate a little better. We has ask for our main to come up with Brussel sprouts and fries they came out way before our main so it was cold by the time our mains came out.

    Cocktails were unreal, appetizer/small plates, lacking description when it comes to size. Seemed a bit expensive for what we got food wise but overall delicious. I recommend the red revenge cocktail, it was out of this world.

    On a whim, I booked us reservations at Perch and Plow. I had no problem changing the reservation time when my plans changed, either. The wait staff was attentive and the food--out of this world! My husband I and enjoyed our meal, the relaxing atmosphere, and the easy-to-get-to location! The menu is limited, but they offer awesome quality foods. Their FULL BAR is impressive!

    We’ve eaten here several times and we may again. We go for the Bud Snow murals, that’s probably our favorite part of the place. Most of the dishes we’ve had have been pretty good, but there’s always some major flaw, like rock hard root vegetables or overpowering seasoning. Quality control might be an issue. Last time we went there was an unhappy baby who cried until she puked down her mothers back, onto the floor and my shoes. That’s not the restaurant’s fault, but definitely colored my experience and keeps me from returning. This feels like an untrained home cook’s idea of a cool place. I have not yet had an enjoyable meal here.

    What a wonderful experience at Perch & Plow yesterday evening. We started with an excellent cocktail and then our entree I.e., New York steak for my wife and the Salmon for me. A very good wine list accompanied the meal. Our server, Kylie N was outstanding and our every need. We will certainly return again.

    I booked to sit outside because I have a toddler. I walked up the stairs and told them I was there. The Manager/owner (older guy with white hair) and 3 servers/women were standing by him. He said, yeah as you can see you can sit anywhere. It was super quiet and dead in there. I told him I wanted to sit outside and he said he guessed he could sent someone down, in a really reluctant way. I asked if he had a high chair and he said no. But when I said I had a booster seat I could bring, he made some Comment about he didn’t care, I could have a dog down there if I wanted. My husband walked back to get the booster seat from the car, which was parked a block or two away. The whole time he was gone, no one came down stairs to check on us. I also noticed the chairs and tables were covered in bird poo and old food and all the tables and chairs were disgusting. So we just left. And still no one ever came down to check on us at any point.

    Many empty tables on a Sunday night at 5:45 pm, but it slowly filled up as our dinner progressed. Gulf shrimp was delicious. Tempted to order another round, but wanted to save room for other items. Salmon crudo was a yummy small bite. Loved the strawberry cobbler cocktail. Not too sweet, but light and refreshing. Only let down was the beet salad. It was underwhelming. Ordered the pork slider dish as take out. It took over 15 mins when all our other food came out so fast. The pork sliders were surprisingly yummy too. Loved the waitress. Friendly and efficient. She apologized for the long wait on the take out item. Glad we gave this restaurant a revisit, because we enjoyed it more than first time.

    Wow - how can every dish not taste good? The $44 steak was lacking any taste, the chocolate mousse was literally just colored whipped sugar powder (no chocolate taste) and the tea wasn't even tap water hot, just room temperature. Such a pity...

    Very disappointing restaurant! We showed up prior to our dinner reservation to have a happy hour cocktail, only to find out happy hour was cancelled due to an "event". We left and returned for our dinner reservation. The menu was not even remotely close to the menu on their website. They had two main dinner entrees to choose from! This was extremely frustrating because it was Valentine's Day weekend and all the decent restaurants were now booked. We will never return to Perch and Plow.

    Menu is disappointingly small and uninspiring, with so many possibilities in the area I expected more. We stopped here 3 or 4 times and decided not to based on the menu, jumped in and took a chance Friday night, now I know why we didn't bother. If you are looking for a place to have cocktails and a snack, by all means this is fine, nothing more, and prices reflect the current inflation situation. Food quality was good, but not amazing or creative. If it's dinner, don't bother, 2 main entrees, beef and fish, standard preparation IMO, we're not foodies but we do appreciate and relish a well prepared and creative meal with good flavors.

    We're just about to move out of town and decided to try this new (to us) place with an out of town guest. Absolutely recommend Perch and Plow for anyone. It's not real fancy, but the food and service was top notch. Parking is easy in the 3rd street garage. Bring money, just like you would any decent place these days. Well worth it. Unlike a couple of Santa Rosa old reliables I could mention.
