Jess

Absolutely loved our pre-show dinner! The service and food was fantastic, and the decor is beautiful. Our waitress Madison (with the strawberry tattoo) was literally perfect. Everyone was so nice, and the atmosphere felt chic and classy while also being vibrant and fresh. The grilled cheeses with tomato soup were our favorite! We’d been hoping have the bacon wrapped "cheap dates" but they had sold out before we arrived, but the brussels were a worthy replacement. When we asked for coffee, the brought us a French press which was such a fun way to end the meal!

Love the building itself - had driven by multiple times thinking it was someone’s cute house. Glad there was a parking lot and we didn’t have to fight for street parking. Went for the $10 Wine Wednesday flight. Enjoyed the sweet selection! The drinking glasses were so cool. I enjoyed the salmon and the noodles were a yummy touch.

I made reservations for my husband’s birthday here because it’s a cozy, intimate spot! Originally we were seated by the window, but we like sitting next to each other so we moved to the bar. The bar has a cozy feel, and the bartender was great! She knew her stuff and made excellent drinks. Espresso martini, Dirty Martini, Manhattan, and Sazerac. The food is great - I had the steak frites and my husband had the duck confit grilled cheese and tomato soup (yes, on his birthday - it’s his fav!) and everything was cooked perfectly! This is a great spot for an intimate date night. We’ll definitely be back!

One of my favorites places ever. Service was amazing and food was absolutely delicious. Their miso honey salmon was the best one I've had this year. It was good on flavor and I love how the bottom was crispy but the rest of it was light and fluffy it was like a surprise and the noodles that went with it were AMAZING. For the drinks I ended up getting a wine flight, I wish they had some sweet reds but some of them were semi-dry which was really good and then I also LOVE the Thistle and Honey I am a sucker for old fashions so that drink was amazing. Their bread pudding was out of this world and I loved how they had a dessert wine which went PERFECT with the bread pudding💗

We had a great New Year’s Eve dinner here with friends. The atmosphere is fantastic, the service was excellent, and the food was delicious. John Mark even helped me when the bottom of my heel decided to have a malfunction. Our server Rachel was polite and bubbly. We will certainly come back.

My wife had wanted to try Press for a long while, so we made reservations for our anniversary dinner on a Saturday. We had such high hopes, and when we got there we thought it was a nice quaint place. We were Immediately sat at a small table near the entrance, and our server showed up rather quickly. She asked us if we were celebrating anything special and we informed her of our anniversary, but I am not sure she really registered it as she just smiled and asked us for our drink order. My wife asked for a lemon drop martini with a request to add chambord to it for a raspberry lemon drop. Our server said she wasnt sure they could do that, but did come back with it after what seemed like 10 minutes or so. We ordered a cheese plate to start, my wife ordered steak frites and I had the salmon. I asked for a medium cook temp for the salmon and my wife also asked for a medium on her steak. Cheese plate was fine, but after we had finished, it sat on the table for a while before clearing it, and our dinners took another 20 minutes after that to get to the table. My salmon was cooked more well done than medium and the steak was a perfect medium rare. Overall the food was fine, maybe the service is what made it seem not as good? We were disappointed for sure at the whole experience.
