Food was good although not a very extensive menu but there was enough variety to pick from. Service was excellent and the bartender went out of her way to prepare drinks for us.

10:30 brunch and was already out of smoked salmon. Had Eggs Muerette and the pork belly was tough like beef jerky which is strange for such a fatty cut of meat, otherwise meal had a good taste. Also, ordered Eggs Benedict which was cooked perfectly. Very pleasant waitress. Restaurant validates valet parking. Good dining experience overall.

We dined here because a tornado & very high winds made it dangerous to go out. The food (appetizers) were good. Our waitress needed to fix the check as it did not include the resident discount.

We absolutely love coming here for Easter and Mother’s Day! Sonny, our server, was fantastic! I wanted to hug her when we left! The buffet was elegant. I love that they don’t put a huge amount of food out but are constantly refilling it. The food is beautiful and is elevated by its presentation. Love the Preston!
The PrestonResponded on May 15, 2025
Debbie, Wow! Thank you for such a fantastic review of our Mother's Day brunch! We put a lot of love and effort into making the day special, and it's so rewarding to know you had a great time. We hope to you again soon!
