I've been to The Presley a few times. On the most recent visit, both the food and service were lacking. I ordered the burger with a gluten free bun. With my previous visit having been a couple of years ago, I did not recall that their fries themselves have a breaded texture that is not gluten free. As soon as the food came, I could tell they were not gluten free. Unfortunately, the waitress failed to mention this, but clearly knew it was the case, yet played dumb. The burger itself was cooked well, but lacked seasoning. Just disappointed
Wonderful place for a group of 30. Food and drinks were great, service was excellent.

The Presley is located in Liberty Station which offers cozy outdoor ambiance. We have been coming here to have brunch after our annual pumpkin patch visit across the street. We never needed to have advanced reservations to eat here (other restaurants nearby require an hour or so of wait time) as this place is large and can sit a big group with minimal wait time. Restaurant has a limited menu and slightly on the pricey side.
The Presley has a great outdoor patio/seating overlooking other shops and terraces in Liberty Station to have a small meal to chit chat with family/friends on a nice sunny day. They are also dog friendly and even brought out a bowl of water for our puppy. However, food at best is average and nothing stands out or above average. We were disappointed with the food quality and lack of skills to execute even a simple egg Benedict dish due to the butter heavy handed Hollandaise sauce and the egg whites were underdone and runny. Not sure how the kitchen staff could messed up a simple classic dish. The clam chowder soup came out lukewarm but did have a fair amount of clams. Coffee was lukewarm again and not hot. Our main entrees came out almost 30 minutes after the appetizers were served without any explanation or communication from the waitstaff. The seared Ahi tuna was not seared well and possibly not fresh as the person who ate the ahi tuna salad got stomachache in the evening. Overall, the location is convenient but the food is mediocre.

Sis and I had a nice, lazy Sunday brunch here the other week and it was really enjoyable.
First off, decor is great with mostly outdoor seating. Very So Cal/San Diego vibes but if you're not used to the loud planes overhead, maybe sit inside.
It was a bit off putting at first when the hostess saw us waiting at the check in podium for several minutes and didn't come greet us or check us in. A few other staff also walked by and saw us (and another group), just standing there and didn't do anything either. We were about to leave when, it looked like a manager saw us, and we were finally seated. First impression was very off but then our server, Bryce, greeted us and completely won us over. He was super friendly, offered suggestions, and was super attentive.
As for food, we split the calamari & shishitos for an appetizer -- tasty, but nothing super unique. We were debating between the Steak & Eggs Benedict or the Cilantro Lime Grilled Shrimp Wraps for our mains when Bryce suggested we get the Benedict and add a side of their Shrimp to the top. He said it was their house specialty marinade that made them awesome so we took him up on it. AND HE DID NOT STEER US WRONG! The shrimp were perfectly seasoned and had a wonderful bite to it and made the perfect surf/turf breakfast. Also, I recommend asking for the potatoes to be extra crispy - game changer!
Thanks Bryce for the great customer service, recommendations, and overall giving us a 180 experience from when we arrived!

We had a fantastic dining experience tonight, thanks to Bryce, our server. He was incredibly kind and knowledgeable, offering great advice on his favorite menu items. When he noticed we weren’t entirely comfortable with our original seating, he promptly moved us to a better spot without us even asking. Bryce also made sure to address a food allergy one of us had, ensuring everything was handled with care. His attention to detail and genuine hospitality made the evening memorable. Highly recommend both Bryce and the Presley!

I wonder if the manager knows they refuse customers before 10? Wouldn't even make a soup to go at 9:15 while there were plenty of tables seated.

Food was mediocre. My salad "Liberty greens" was uninspiring to say the least and not very fresh. Clam chowder was ok. The cocktail was horribly weak, don't order a cocktail here it's a waste of money. Overall I would say this place is way overpriced for the quality of food and drink we received. I will not be returning. I can pay that much money many other places and get a better quality dinner (or pay less as well).

Third time eating here, I live out of town and look forward to coming here to eat. Great experience. Yesterday the planes were taking off right over us but we didn't mind cause we are retired airline people. ?.
Our group of seven was thoughtfully seated in an upstairs separate room that was quiet and allowed us to enjoy conversation without loud noise nearby. The food excellent as was the service.

One disaster after another. No coffee service other than regular coffee. No sugar free suryp. There are so many diabetics out there. This was hard to believe. Ordered breakfast and while I was talking to my wife I looked down and our table was full of ants. We couldn’t wait to get out of there. Canceled out order and left.

We loved being able to so nicely eat outside. Several different seating choices on a beautiful evening. Our server (Brice, I believe) was very nice and helpful. We almost went back the next night but will definitely go again!
Melissa
The server was great. Super personality and helpful with menu suggestions. The food was tasty and used fresh ingredients. The outdoor dining was great. The whole area was under the flight path so would get loud from plans taking off, but nothing the restaurant could to change that. Also didn't detract from a great meal, wonderful service and fun ambience.
It was a bit of a hot day for our reservation for outside but, Thank goodness it was windy ! We were able to choose a bit of where we want to sit was a huge plus and my party guest were estatic since this was their first time here! Food and ambience was awesomeness they love it and had said they will be bring their guests here next weekend.....
