   Came with my family for the Easter brunch and was impressed by the various selections. Everyone I was with thought it was great!

   Our waiter was totally great and intuitive to the needs of our 2 little granddaughters. Food was very tasty!

   Made bruch reservation after taking a look at their menu. Had a limited menu that was much smaller than what was listed online. Not a lot of options. Food was ok, our waitress was ok, over all it was just kind of meh.

   Ginna, I want to apologize for the limited menu we were offering when you dined with us. We had a power outage the day before and were struggling to re-prep all of the food we had lost. I do hope you give us another chance to wow you in the future when we are operating at 100%. Kindly, The Preston Team

   Knowing that there were appetizer specials would have been nice. It was very average at best; there are better restaurants around the area with as good if not better prices.

   The management of this restaurant seems to rest on the built in business of a hotel restaurant model. When we arrived, the hostess was dressed in plain clothes, sitting over to the side reading a book. We thought she was a hotel guest, but she was friendly when she realized we were waiting for her. The restaurant was maybe at 1/3 capacity. We asked about one of the appetizers (a french onion meatball starter), and the waitress said it was out because it was really popular. Given how empty the restaurant was on Valentine’s weekend, it seemed like poor planning to be out of a premade item on a very narrow and select menu. Ordered the hamburger med rare and it was cooked well done. It could be that it was sitting and resting way too long - either way, not a good sign. The burger was under-seasoned and the truffle fries were way over-seasoned. A very forgettable meal at a poorly managed restaurant. At one point there were 6 employees prepping then standing in front of one 6 person table. It was a bizarre use of payroll given how poorly run the environment was throughout the meal; it felt comical. Hopefully, the next iteration of that space is run by better management. Definitely won’t return to this place as it currently stands.

   Beautiful restaurant, plenty of room, very chill. Service was excellent, the Valentines menu was delicious (and generous).

   I’m never disappointed in anything made by their chefs, from brunch to dinner. Had the oatmeal and my goodness, the blueberries and blackberries were huge! Husband had the eggs meurrete. Delicious. Well done servers, food runners and Managers.
