About the restaurant

A neighborhood café and wine bar from the people behind Olive + Oak, bringing you food & wine that is fresh, casual, and simple. A place where the service is efficient and the hospitality is heartfelt. We open early offering fresh baked goods, breakfast sandwiches, and a seasonal breakfast menu. Our lunch menu features sandwiches, soups, and fresh salads. We open Thursday-Saturday evenings featuring an evolving menu of seasonal small plates from Executive Chef Mike Risk paired with wines that have been thoughtfully sourced to showcase the people that make them and the places they are from. A thoughtful list of local beer, cocktails and NA beverages are available to enjoy as well.

Authentic. Unpretentious. Delicious.

Walk in only for breakfast and lunch. Reservations recommended for dinner.

We went in a packed house on a Saturday night, yet our experience was still great. The every dish ordered I would order again - hummus, sticker pork shoulder, Brussels - and the cocktails were also great! All interactions with the staff was pleasant.

Three of us ordered different entrees. All were excellent especially the seafood and very unexpectedly large portions- so lots to take home. Our waiter was easy to work with as we were having fun and requesting information about many items. The owner stopped by as well. We hope to return soon.

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!
