Nice patio but so overpriced and limited menu. 2 glasses of wine one steak skewer and one mushroom tart ... all average... $67 We left hungry but nothing else on menu sounded good so we cut our losses. won’t be back.

My nephew and I went to have lunch. i ordered a margarita. I told the waitress that it was too sour and that it needed triple sec or Grand Marnier. She said that that would be 6 dollars. What? Thats part of the margarita. She...said to add some sugar syrup. I beg your pardon. i didnt even taste the tequila. I think they need to learn to make margaritas. I did not drink the margarita. I ordered the shrimp and grits. it was more like soup and the shrimp were not completely cooked. Flavorless dish. my nephew had the pork tacos. Nothing but fat. the waitress never picked up empty glasses including the margarita that I was not drinking. To me this place is overrated, nice ambience outside but prices, mixed drinks and food needs to change. You can always go to the Burger Local in the corner. Awesome food and awesome margaritas. Will I be back, I don't think so.More

It was a Friday night, perfect weather for sitting outside. I made a reservation for 2 for outside. We were marched to a table INSIDE right next to the front door. No thanks. I had to chase the hostess back to the alley and say,..."I don't want to sit inside, I made the reservation for outside." Green tank top with a brunette ponytail snapped at me saying, "We don't have tables outside!!" Well, then I'm not staying here. The nice girl standing next to her said, "Oh yes, we do have a table". Great! We were seated at a table for 6 which was weird since it was so busy. Green tank top stormed over right after the came, then chastised us because it was only 2 of us and the reservation was for 4. NO, again, I made a reservation for TWO OUTSIDE. So she made us move then said she was going to comp my friend's asparagus, which she didn't. Our server was also rude! Didn't refill water and was slow to get a second drink. It was like we were bothering her. They were also quick to try and clear our plates even though we were still eating. I work hard for my money. When I go out I want to relax and have a nice time, no be annoyed or angered. The food tasted good, but was not freshly prepared. The sauce on the plate had that sitting out film over the top. I've been here before COVID, but don't remember the service being this terrible. I was sorry I didn't tip lower.More

Preservation became a go-to place during Covid. Even during the winter you can eat outside. Food is delicious, beer list is pretty good and the live entertainment is varied and good. A lot of times we end up eating at the bar because the wait...for a table is typically long.More

This spot has both an indoor and outdoor seating area. Outside is a great casual atmosphere with live music almost every night. Good food and the drinks are top notch. Get the Local Fashioned. Great local version of an old fashioned.

Smallish cute tapas-style restaurant with outside seating. Food was really good & flavorful. We chose to order several items and shared them with our party of 9. The servers were nice and efficient.

Awesome heated outdoor space in a covered open patio. Heaters are very warm, even in 30 degree weather. Great place to grab a drink & a bite to eat. The turkey sourdough grilled sandwich is fabulous. Been here 4 times now bc of the guaranteed...warmth & good food.More

We always get a Cheese Platter and the Duck Salad. Both are so fresh and delicious. The service is welcoming and professional. We like many other items as well and have tried most. You cannot go wrong with any choice. The heated bar and outdoor...patio are a huge plus...even when it's really cold out.More

We've been going to Preservation since the first week of opening. There are some real values on this menu! We love coming to Pres...Feels like a trip to Europe. Lawrence is just great and all the veteran servers there are spectacular. This is our favorite...neighborhood haunt.More

After reading the reviews, I decided to try this place. We arrived at around 4pm and when we walked in, there were only two tables being occupied. The man at the door with a chef shirt on, said, "do you have reservations?" "No" I replied...and he then walked to a table put the menus on it, and walked away. When we were seated, we looked over the menu for at least 20 minutes before the waitress approached us-meanwhile the guy at the door kept pacing back and forth past our table and slightly rearranging chairs, the tables, and peeking out the window. I was so annoyed that he wouldn't take our order or even the waitress! There were only TWO other tables occupied with a total of 6 people. In any case, we were ready to walk out and a server appeared. We ordered a chicken pot pie and a BBQ pork sandwich. Strangely, after about 5 mins, the chicken pot pie arrived and it had been clearly microwaved. It was mediocre at best. The pork sandwich was swimming in sauce so we left most of it on the plate. We then sat uncomfortably waiting for the bill (the guy was STILL pacing next to our table, and kept peeking out the window blinds. Our server did not check on us, the whole time, so we anxiously waited for our bill for at least 15-20 mins...we just wanted to get the heck out of there!!!! When we left, the nervous, rude guy at the door never said "thank you for coming", "how was the meal", etc. He just seemed annoyed that we were alive. Honestly I will never go back...easily one of the worst experiences I have ever had.More

Those bi-monthly wine dinners that the restaurant has used to be my favorite meal of the month. Lately they have been uninspired and unimaginative. They must have lost their chef because I haven't seen him in awhile. The brunch had a piece of french toast?...This is supposed to be cutting edge? I hope they work on improving these because like I said, I used to look forward to these meals.More

We would go to this place often. With so many new places to eat we have not been back for several months. They have taken so many great dishes off their menu. The food was not that good. The bread was so hard and the...shrimp was limp. Their back room were we seated was cold, dark and dirty. Will not be back.More
