Fun concept. South End test kitchen from two chefs coming out of the Nantucket private-chef world. Their five-course menu resets every month, and I caught the first seating of the new month's, so it still felt like it was hunting for its thesis. With no formal culinary or fine-dining background behind them, the chefs seemed to be narrating their personal story more than resolving a coherent menu. Charming in the room, a little less convincing on the plate. The dishes that worked, worked. The spring pea chawanmushi and the duck were both great. Not especially creative, but as good as anything you'd expect from an entry level fine dining spot. The tuna crudo was the biggest disappointment. Experimental and basic at the same time. Plain akami, oddly sliced, propped on a puff and a custard. The tuna itself was low quality, and since it was cut thin and never marinated the way it would be in akami zuke, there wasn't much flavor to pull from. Overall, a concept I want to root for, run by chefs still figuring out what they're aiming at. For now the idea's ahead of the cooking, but I'd come back once the execution catches up.

I mean I can not write a more glowing review if I tried. My night spent at Perch is one that I will hold dear for a long time. It felt intimate, educational, fun and most importantly it was delicious. Sam, Meegan and Renee curated a wonderful menu and experience for all with each dish explained in detail and all questions answered. The attention to both the craft and the guest experience was so impressive. Similarly, the wine that was chosen paired perfectly with each dish. The seating is around the stove to get a personal in depth experience of the process. It also gives you a chance to interact with other restaurant goers and maybe even make a new friend! That being said, my boyfriend and I sat in the window seats and could not have loved it more. We felt like we had our own private dinner, while also feeling completely in the mix. In such an intimate setting, there is not one bad seat in the place. I can not recommend Perch enough. If you are looking for a wonderful night that makes you feel like you have been transported into small town in Europe, hosted by experts in both culinary and hospitality, Perch is your place. Renee, Meegan and Sam - Bravo, you have created a GEM in Boston and I wish nothing but the continued success for Perch! Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
