Perch + Plow

Delicious food, a warm and welcoming atmosphere, and a super friendly team. Perfect for a casual meal, whether you’re grabbing lunch with friends or enjoying a relaxed dinner with family!

I’ve been coming here for good drinks, good views, and an amazing club scene for years. Nightclubs are always popping, and attracting nice crowds. They have free karaoke nights and other cool activities.

Great vibe, amazing cocktails, and delicious farm-to-table dishes. Perfect place to hang out downtown with friends or enjoy a date night!

Had dinner here on Thursday (12/1); it was a cold and rainy day so we had the bar to ourselves. We arrived with a few minutes left of happy hour so we got some wine and an order of the wings+fries. They were both delicious! The wings were big and meaty with a great dry rub. The calamari was good and the dipping sauce was super spicy, exactly how I like it. I tried the tres chile mezcal cocktail and that was really nice, a good amount of spice to it. We ended with the burger and it was definitely the highlight of the food; it was cooked perfectly. They even split it for us which we didn't ask but did appreciate. They went above and beyond. They have a great wines by the glass list. The highlight of the meal was getting to chat with the bartender Coco. We had a great conversation and she made our experience really enjoyable; we stayed longer than we planned because we were enjoying the conversation. I highly recommend this place and if you see Coco working, grab a spot at the bar and you'll have a wonderful time.

Perch + Plow has always had delicious food, but the COCKTAILS are incredible. The wall art is mesmerizing and a complete conversation starter. Regardless of what you order, you will fully enjoy every bite. This particular time, I ordered the salmon which had a beautiful crust on it. Our table ordered the calamari and garlic fries to start. Sometimes, when you get garlic fries, the only garlic is on top. That's not the case here! The garlic IS piled on top, but the fries are garlic flavored throughout: an absolute delight. The new COVID cocktails are great, so I recommend you go there even just to try those out! Once you go for that, you might as well just try their delicious food too!

My New Favorite Spot in Santa Rosa! Perch + Plow has been around for a year or two but I've never had the time to go discover it until recently and I don't know why I waited so long! This place is great! The food selection is amazing and well executed with high end offerings to suit a wide range of flavors. When I went I ordered a few of the smaller plates and 1 entree and shared with my lovely date. We were both enjoying all the different flavors and textures. Their Bar is No joke either, I really enjoyed the range of selections they had and picked a nice local beer and a Irish Whiskey to sip on. The ambiance is really nice too. Their dining/bar area is CLEAN (I love that) and they feature some cool wall art and fixtures. If you can, try to get the window seats. They are great for when there are events on the square to sit and enjoy the view/breeze.

Solid American fare! Incredible light and airy feel with the high ceilings in this place, and fun abstract-lite art on the walls. Beautiful looking bar (sorry forgot to take a pic) too. Waitstaff very thoughtful and attentive. Great for a family gathering, brought my aunt and cousin and her bf here. We had an awesome time. Food is excellent, better than expected for what we had planned as a casual lunch. Appetizers about $8 or $9 and sandwich entrees about $15. We had a solid lunch with apps and big entrees for 5 people at about $35 a head with tax and tip included. Make sure to get the kale caesar salad, the local salmon, or the turkey club. All fantastic. Might be a bit tough to find parking, but lots of on-street parking nearby. Also can be fun to stroll 4th street after the meal. Would definitely recommend again for next time we are in Santa Rosa.

Always a great vibe. The djs play a mix of electronic, pop and hip hop musical. Personally. Its more popular when they play hip hop and bay area rap more. This place gets really crowded but it's to be expected since it's a club. Bartenders are awesome and make great drinks

We had our first experience here the other night, and I’m really unsure about how to rate this restaurant … everything about our meal ran either really well, or really poorly. There was no in-between. I wasn’t sure whether to give two stars or five. So I went with four for now, because overall, it was more great than poor. But that’s how the visit went - everything we had (both food and drink) was either five-star awesome, or two-star unpleasant. The decor and design is fantastic. The service we got - sitting at the bar since we didn’t have a reservation - was also fantastic: fast, friendly, and very attentive and helpful. The negative situations we did have were dealt with promptly and professionally. The stuff that went poorly: • we ordered fish tacos to share, and when they arrived, they smelled so awful that we sent them back so quickly I didn’t even get a picture of them. I’ve been eating seafood for my entire life, and this was definitely the bad fishy aroma you definitely want to avoid. • the cal fire relief drink was too spicy for either of us to consume. In addition to the spicy ingredients and spicy salt rim, the garnish was half of a raw jalapeño, sliced in half long ways, plus a raw jalapeño ring. The acidity and dry spicy bite the garnish added put the drink over the top. We couldn’t finish it. • similar problem with the Irish mule. Even after adding a second shot of Jameson and more ice to try to mellow out the severe tartness of the drink - the bartender added WAY too much lime juice - even with the extra whisky and ice, it was still too tart and bitter to finish. All of that being said, everything else was absolutely fantastic. • The other three drinks on the sampler flight were freaking delicious, and my wife and I fought a little over who got to drink them! • They carry Flor de Caña 12 year rum from Costa Rica - among many other specialty liquors I noticed - which is awesome. • My wife also got a vodka lemonade drink after our meal that was excellent. • The roasted Brussels sprouts and cheeseburger (get it with garlic fries instead of regular!) were both absolutely delicious. We’ll definitely be coming back again to see which evaluation is the more accurate one; I personally have a feeling it’s gonna bump up to the five stars, but I’m not completely sure yet!

Went Friday at about 6:45pm, were seated right away at the patio. It took a bit of time for a waitress to take our order, which were a bit wrong (2 beers instead of 1, and no grilles onions on burger as requested). Food came kind of quickly, and it was tasty. Place was pack before 8:00 p.m. Environment and Staff was nice.

Great spot to catch the evening hustle bustle of the park from above the second floor restaurant. Good cocktails, oysters were yummy and so was the poke starter. Veg options were just Brussels sprouts and fries though

I ordered the Fish & Chips and was quite happy with both the quality of the cod and portion size. The service was good and the food came out quickly. The cocktail flights were unique and tasty as well as visually appetizing.

Didn't eat anything. Just stopped by for a quick drink prior to going elsewhere for dinner. The restaurant and bar had just opened, so a bit dead. Live music (DJ?) starts at 10 pm. Bartender made great drinks and was very personable.

Giving this a 3 star due to them being out of so much. They were out of 4 different tap beer's ended up drinink wine. Ordered the clam chowder and guess what they were out. Although, did have a good time arrived @ 8:30 on a Saturday night they stop serving food @ 9pm @ 10pm the restaurant turns into a club. DJ was playing good music! Food was decent from the looks of the cocktails they looked delicious. Bartender was awesome. Will go back.

While Perch and Plow is an all New American restaurant it is also a late night club. Wednesday and Thursday’s are only dinner from 5pm-9pm and Friday and Saturday it’s open from 5pm-2am for the late night dancing. There is a large window overlooking the Courthouse square. There is plenty of parking right in front of this restaurant as it is in the heart of Downtown Santa Rosa. The atmosphere inside the place had a very classy look to it. There’s tables, couches, and even vip seating you can pay for. The security guards for this place are very friendly and well mannered. The employee taking the entrance fee was very nice. On Fridays it is $10 per person and Saturdays it is $20 per person. There is no wheel chair accessibility for the night club, but there is an elevator during the restaurant hours. The bartenders are pretty good about getting everyone’s drinks even when it’s busy. The DJs are not very good. They mostly play rap and R&B and although it is not bad music a DJ should have a variety of songs for all types of people. Plus they change the song every 5 seconds. Let the people enjoy at least half of a good song. I was not flowing with it. There are also a couple of tvs by the bar for those just wanting to watch the game and relax. This place can get tight at times because of how busy it is and it’s not a huge place, but I also think it’s the charm. People are able to dance with strangers and connect.

Service… they are trying to do best Atmosphere… good if you sit near the window Food… just okay. The back ribs and French fries were good. No comment for their Octopus Drink… just okay. The cocktails were Not like water down but not strong and felt like too sweet.

I want to give this place more stars because our server was amazing and attentive but the quality of the food wasn’t what I expected. Ordered the ceviche and was not impressed, it needed more flavoring and I’m not sure sweet potato chips were the best choice with this one. Also ordered the cheese plate, it was okay, I would have liked to know what kind of cheeses I was eating since they are not listed on the menu. Also ordered the Kale Caesar salad and it was nothing special, I expected more for the price. My bf also ordered the Octopus and it was way too charred to the point where you couldn’t even taste the octopus, the orange sauce that came with it did not complement it very well. Another thing that was a turn off were the many flies that kept landing on us and our food (pictured). On the other hand, it was a nice looking place, it has a modern but rustic feel to it, the food just needs to be improved.

At the time that Sonoma county has a few spots for dancing perch plow stands on the top of other clubs. Prefect location,plenty of parking lots and great security team. Unfortunately management has forgotten to update location with better light effects and modernization also DJ is absolutely out of touch with the music that cheer you up. It is mostly R&B and rap. Admission on Fridays is $10 and Saturday $20 make sure you secure your ride in advance to avoid DUI citations that cost you dearly.

Absolutely unacceptable. We had already paid the cover and were about to leave at 1:20 (the place closes at 1:30). A clearly intoxicated woman refused to let us use the restroom unless we paid her an additional $20. This is abusive, unprofessional, and disgusting behavior. Denying restroom access after charging admission is outrageous. We will never return and do not recommend this place to anyone.
