Roof-top restaurant open

I’m sure by now you have driven past the Okanagan Centre for Innovation attached to the downtown library.  What most people haven’t seen is the new Perch Cafe on the roof top. 

Perch Operator Luigi Coccaro has set up 30 seats inside, 60 alfresco seats at a table with a view; the 6,000 square foot of special event space can accommodate 150 people. 

They are serving lunch, dinner and cocktails. I don’t know if you're allowed, but since SYNLawn Okanagan put their artificial grass pretty much every where up top, I took my shoes off and really kicked back.

Reservations are recommended but walk ins as also welcome.
