Stopped by here for NYE with friends to grab a few drinks and the bartender and the ambience was nice. However, i came back a month later to eat and wasn’t too pleased. Our server was nice but she screwed up our checks. We asked for it to be split and she gave us only one check which wasn’t mine but my friends which led to confusion… in the end she charged my card more and my friends less even though it was suppose to be 50/50. I almost disputed the charge with my bank however, i figured it was an error on the restaurants end therefore, i resolved it with my friend. The food was okay but there were some cons… The pizza magherita was very good however, me and my wife both ordered the braised short ribs as a main course and literally there was two spoonfuls of short rib and the rest of the dish around 80% was mac and cheese. That is unacceptable as i’m paying close to $35 a playe to eat a warm up mac and cheese dish. Better off calling it mac and cheese mixed with a topping of braised short ribs! Overall, if you want to grab a drink or come for happy hour this place is good but for dinner i would pass!

Since moving to Fort Lee, City Perch has been one of our go-to restaurants. However, over the last few months, the quality in food and service has consistently gone downhill. The service is nonexistent despite the fact that it is not usually very busy when we dine. When our food finally arrives, it arrives all at once despite ordering as a coursed meal. Additionally, the food is becoming unbearably inedible, overcooked, soggy and just so bad. I want to love this place again, and it has so much potential, but management really needs to put some effort into reviving the quality of food and service.

The bartenders are GREAT, the food GREAT, the chef Tim GREAT. Hubby and I love this place, No chicken sandwich on menu, however Tim made it happen deliciously, not sure about the one start but I'm here to say go to this place and the music is not to loud. It's GREAT. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $100+ Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes City Perch

Me and about six other of my coworkers came here to eat after a presentation. We were hungry, and just picked the spot based off of the reviews. I am pretty sure we had reservations, though. It was absolutely delicious. Some people ordered mac & cheese, I had the steak, others had pizza, and someone else had salmon. There were zero complaints. It did take, just a little bit to get our food but that probably comes with a larger table. The drinks were also spot on! Our waitress Jailene gave us some great suggestions. I would definitely come back! Note: There is a parking garage that is around the corner.When you come out, you are literally facing the restaurant. They will validate your ticket.

My date chose City Perch for date night! As a pretty astute foodie I truly thought I was at Chucky Cheese. I do understand brand, concept and style of how a menu should complement the stylish decor. Please take note of not only the selections that were trendy 6 years ago but look how this place has the nerve to charge $17 For Buffalo Wings WITH BLUE cheese not to mention the preparation wording was hilarious. The chefs lack of attention to detail is displayed with over 200 English 101 blatant errors. I ended up ordering for the both of us. Calamari was the first appetizer, and the only reason why I ordered it was because in my entire life I truly couldn’t Believe what I was reading. CALAMARI | 20 calamari, artichoke, meyer lemon, sage, fresno pepper, roasted garlic salmoriglio . This is a monstrosity of an insult to simplicity and any chef responsible for this concoction should be ashamed of himself. Please keep in mind this date actually turned out to be fun. The second appetizer my date ordered The Braised Duck. Her reasoning was because she had never heard of such a thing. BRAISED DUCK POUTINE | 18 braised duck leg, house fries, duck jus, sharp white cheddar, parsley. What is this? Cat food? We laughed. I forgot to mention about our Waiter and the cocktails we had ordered 20 minutes prior, that is why I forgot. I think you get the point. Let’s review the appetizers: The Calamari was as rubbery as taking a bite out of a Good Year Tire. Canned Wet Artichokes! Must I continue? 1 Ring each and that was plenty. It was the worst dish in which we both agreed ever. So we thought. Where was the Cat Food? Waiter please? Hello? In all of my years I have never gotten up from a table to get my own drinks. I told the Bartender that I have been waiting for my drinks for over 30 minutes. Ok so what are you having? 2 JW Black Neat Please in a snifter. Wrong move! Her response was to go sit down and she would bring them over. I said no I will take them here. She said ok. What do you think happened? Correct. The BRAISED duck finally arrived as the waiter said that the chef made this dish to order. What came out was a quartered CHICKEN LEG GRILLED. Not 1 bite was taken. It was not funny anymore. Entrees: FIG AND PROSCIUTTO | 22 béchamel. fig, crispy prosciutto, herbed goat cheese. mozzarella, arugula, balsamic glaze. The Sirloin steak Sandwich. The server looked at me like I had 10 Heads and told me "That's the wrong menu that you received and handed me another." The lunch and dinner menus are very similar minus the steak sandwich which is the only thing I really didn’t want but we were having so much fun wanted. The young hostess who was extremely nice came over and told us that the Chef had made a mistake and took the duck/chicken away and brought us Bread. The bread was still frozen inside. The Entrees came as fast as could be. The Pizza was Identical to the one that Chucky Cheese uses. The steak Sandwich tasted like it came from a box and was reheated. We asked the nice hostess to ask the chef for the recipe for this incredible. She came back and said to us that the pizza GUY told her that it was from Rich’s the same place where the bread comes from. I asked her what is Rich’s. She came back saying that was the brand name on the box. I asked her for the Check immediately. It took 15 minutes for someone to arrive with the charges of the Chicken and the NEAT cocktails that were smothered with ice cubes included. The waiter was no where to be found. The bill was 190.00. The waiter finally came over and I had $19.00 in cash for the tip and I was paying the rest on my credit card. As I was getting ready to give him my credit card he left with the bill. We got up and wanted to explain to the hostess what happened. The waiter then came over to us and actually said that I left him less than 10% . I apologized and handed him a dollar bill Service Dine in Meal type Other Price per person $50–100 Food: 1 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 3

On Nov. 15, 2023, Wednesday night I was coming home from work and was told to pick up burgers for dinner from city perch. I called their number on the bus at 7:32 repeatedly to order take out. Nobody picked up. So I got off the bus walked into the restaurant was told by waitress that I must order take out with the bartender. Did so and proceeded to wait 30 minutes for two burgers and 1 Cesar salad. The waitresses and bartender were staring at me stare at them as I waited for the food and decided to see how long I could wait and possibly to teach this Asian female a lesson in patience. By 8:30 I got the food walked it home in about 7 minutes. French fries were cold burgers were very very rare. I didn’t eat the burger and threw it out. My mom did and next day she had a very bad stomach ache. Now first of all, on Sept. 5, I was in the bar with fellow gym person who had two cocktails before our combat gym class while I had lemonade. That night I was injured during class from that same two cocktails drink person. I dislocated my hip, tore my knee and am still recovering in November with pt, recovery shoes and kinesiology tapes. Point is I’m physically not in a good shape. Waiting 30 minutes after work was excoriating painful to my leg even when I sat down. I also needed to stuff my face and work again from home. Regardless my suffering isn’t city pertch’s problem. What they could should do is be a professional restaurant that serves people. It’s not professional to have a phone that is never answered or waitress staff that teaches Asian females concept of patience. Pretty bad practice all around. Asians regardless of COVID deserve and should be treated with professionalism since I pay for my goods is same currency as white, black and brown folks. Novel concept I’m sure.
