Mike Ledesma and Blue Bee Cider hosting Perch menu preview dinner next week
The dinner, to be held June 27th, will showcase the forthcoming restaurant’s Pacific-inspired menu and will feature a special collaboration cider.

Construction continues on Chef Mike Ledesma’s new Scott’s Addition restaurant, Perch’s, to be housed in the former Joy Garden space at 2918 W. Broad Street. With some delays, the 148-seat restaurant is now on track for an opening later this summer.
