About this restaurant

Romantic
Good for special occasions
Innovative

Transforming fresh, local ingredients into refined, accessible interpretations of regional American cuisine.

Welcome to The Perch at the Peacock Inn, where each meal is a celebration of community-driven produce and thoughtfully-sourced ingredients. We are continually inspired by our area’s hardworking farmers and by the myriad possibilities of seasonality. It is a privilege to share this moment of comfort and attentiveness with you.

At Perch, our food pays homage to the idea of terroir—that each product grown and raised in our particular corner of New Jersey carries its own individual taste. Our rotating dishes adapt with the changing seasons of the local microclimate, and we work closely with our friends and purveyors to bring you the best in peak season.

Lovely place for a more formal dinner/special occasion. We especially appreciated low noise level, space between tables, impecable service, and delicious food.

Just did not love it. The fennel salad was so darn spicy I couldn't eat it, it tasted like it had a ton of wasabi in it, horrible! The chicken was good, the plate was bit contrived, like the chef it trying too hard, the veggies were all lined up, like they were going to march off the plate, lol. But the people were very nice there. I don't think I will go back, just not my cup of tea.

The Perch was excellent. Fine dining at its best. My wife has celiac and they were very very attentive. The only problem was using our OPEN table rewards. Our rewards were good for one year till 2023 but it did not process. Only downer of the evening as we spent $200 but could not use our 25 dollar Open table reward.

This is a very nice place if you like a sedate meal with very good food and excellent service. It has an air of calm without being at all unfriendly. If you prefer the joint to be jumping this is probably not for you but for an intimate dinner with a partner or friend, it's ideal.

Loved going to The Perch for the first time. We didn't know what to expect, but everything was wonderful. We will definitely go back and try some of their other delicious dishes.

Have been here many times - a great special occasion restaurant with highly professional service, flawless food and presentation and very cozy seating. A bit pricey, but worth it.
