My family and I chose to stay in the cabins at the location The Perch near Denali Park. We arrived late at night and were excited about seeing the park the next morning. For breakfast, we headed up the hill to eat at the restaurant. Breakfast was amazing! Hot, fresh, and served by friendly and attentive waiter, we were well... More

We stayed at the Perch for the night but were planning to have dinner somewhere else. Thank goodness we were too tired to go anywhere. Keven, the chef, made us an amazing dinner. First came the fresh baked bread with honeybutter. Then I had a pasta dish with halibut & steak and my fiance had halibut with risotto. Both were... More

we spent two nights at The Perch and it was the perfect place if visiting Denali. Our breakfast started each day being greeted by Eric, who is a breath of Happy. It is the best way to start a day. The food was excellent. The chicken and waffles were the best I've had and the chicken fried steak breakfast hit... More

I cannot say enough good things about The Perch Restaurant. First of all, the atmosphere is wonderful. The view of the mountains is beautiful but there is an even better view to entertain yourself with and that is of the chef. The open kitchen provides a great way to watch the chef work his magic. Cooking is an art and... More

We ate at the Perch Restaurant on Aug 25, 2011 and had an outstanding dinner. They have a solo chef from Mississippi who could easily be cooking for a 5 star restaurant in any city. Our group had the Grilled Halibut, Seafood Creole, Ribs, and Ribeye steak and every dish was outstanding with excellent presentation. For the food quality/presentation, prices... More

After a day in Denali Park my husband and I headed south and stopped into "The Perch" restaurant. What a pleasant surprise! Paul, the owner, told us that they weren't open until 5 but we were welcome to have a drink at the bar. While sitting there Kevin, the chef, let us sample the gumbo he was making for the... More

This was my second stay at The Perch, and it was even better than the first! The cabins are affordable, while well-maintained and cozy, and the property surrounding is beautiful (including a quaint little creek, mountain views, and an array of wildflowers). The staff is very friendly and helpful. The most impressive aspect has to be the food! We ate... More

Had the dry rub 28 day aged porterhouse steak the first night, and seafood pasta the second. Service was not fast, but the atmosphere, $4 pints of alaska draft beer and complimentary fresh baked bread and butter made up for it. Relaxing. Our waiter was very professional and was able to recommend some good wines to accompany the food tastes... More

They've got a great brunch on the weekends with big mimosas and a huge bloody mary bar. It's the best hangover stop.

I don't know about the cabins, but this restaurant was fantastic. When you turn in the gravel/dirt driveway it seems a little daunting. It is a little curvy and at the end a little steep but well worth it. We were greeted by the owner and chose a table with a view of the mountains all around us. The chef... More
