Drinks and service were great, but the food was so oily and there were ants and fruit flies on the bar where we sat.

Did not live up to the reviews. The food was horrible & bland. The restaurant was dirty. Pretty disappointed

Loved it! There was live music playing on the square and it all felt quite festive and fun. The fresh oysters were particularly good!

Menu was very limited. Cleanliness was not up to standard. Floor was sticky at the host stand. Doors on the coolers behind the bar was dirty. Staff was doing pre shift work that should have been completed prior to them opening for service. Do to that, service seemed a bit lacking.

Sat at the window & it was perfect, pretty view. Strawberry cobbler cocktail was delicious!!

The music was at a good level when we got there. Then it got blasted and turned down a little. It was very noisy and it felt like I was screaming across the table to talk. Other than that it was alright. Not much variety of food.

Our waiter was awesome and very helpful

Just not what we thought would be on the menu, drinks were very sweet

This place has apparently not done well post-pandemic and seems to likely be struggling with management issues.To start, there was broken glass on the stairs leading up the the restaurant (literally everywhere) and ants crawling on the bar. Our water glasses were also dirty. Not a great start to the evening.Maybe the food and drinks would make up for it? Sadly, nope. Everything was incredibly mediocre (3 different appetizers) and the drinks had WAY too much juice/sugar. My wife could only stomach about a quarter of her cocktail.There was also standing bleach water in the restrooms...It's really hard to describe just how poor everything was top to bottom. The only silver lining is that the staff were largely friendly and helpful, but that did little to save this place from being described a dive.We had intended to stay for dinner, but decided to pick up and leave after appetizers. Very disappointing experience...

My girlfriend and I were celebrating our three-year anniversary in Santa Rosa, which I explicitly mentioned in the reservation but was not recognized in any way, and decided to try Perch and Plow. It was quite clear that everybody working on the floor that night was very new. I'm fine waiting when it's busy or when there has at least been acknowledgment from staff that they've seen us, but it felt like they were just ignoring us outright. It pains me to write this because the food was pretty decent and the art in the restaurant is nice, but the service really did not leave a positive impression. I'm sure the pandemic has been tough on them and know running a restaurant is tough. That said I'm not sure I would come back here.
