I ordered a margarita, which was the worst I have ever had. It was served in a mason jar and I could not taste any alcohol in it. The rim was not salted and there was no lime slice. I then attempted to order a taco salad, but was surprised to receive nachos instead. I prefer a taco bowl and was not pleased with the dish served over taco chips. As a result, I did not order it. The Asian bowl with chicken that I did order had an excessive amount of sauce, which I did not enjoy. I hope that the food improves once things return to normal, but for now, I will be exploring other restaurants with better food. The service was good, and our waitress was very pleasant and friendly. Some members of our group said their meals were acceptable but not worth ordering again, including the fish and chips and the chicken sandwich. My husband had dined here last year and enjoyed it, which is why we chose this restaurant for dinner. Unfortunately, we were all very disappointed.

The perch itself was also bland. The service was very slow and the temperature in the restaurant was uncomfortably cold. I had visited this restaurant before for lunch and enjoyed it, but this experience was disappointing.
