Went brunch there with the gangs and we had a great time! The food are amazing, and we love the drinks! Def a good place to go to!

Although it was cold out because outdoor seating is the only option, they had heaters to help keep us warm so the experience was great! Onto the food, the Buffalo cauliflower was delicious! We enjoyed it as an appetizer! We ordered the Mac and cheese and the burger which were both very appetizing and we really enjoyed it! Overall it was a great experience!

A draft beer and a space heater. Name a more iconic duo... I'll wait. The Preservery does a great job making sure that they can keep their patio open during this pandemic. My girlfriend and I wanted to get out of the house and drink beers over some apps, and The Preservery was the perfect spot. All patio seating was more than 6 feet apart and each had multiple space heaters. The wait staff thoroughly cleans each table after customers leave. And with a common sense mask rule, I felt very safe enjoying this outing. My girlfriend and I opted to orders beers from their large draft menu as well as appetizers from their happy hour menu. I highly recommend their Fried Brussels sprouts, Greek Frites, and Fried Chicken Sandwich. All the food came out fast and delicious! Come support this business when you're in the Rino area!

The food was delicious, with very large portions especially the pancakes. Different flavors of pancakes offered and good looking. Many people carry take-out boxes. Very crowded and narrow-wide space, very loud with noise/music. You can barely speak and hear the other person next to you. I highly recommend it as the food was one of a kind and delicious but beware of waiting, searching for parking and loud noise and minimal space. But then, we will be back soon!"

I am so glad I took myself out to Happy Hour at The Preservery. I'd passed this spot multiple times en route to coffee or doughnuts at BYOB, but finally came for a late lunch. I ordered the karaage chicken bites- sooooo tasty! Crispy outside and great savory seasoning. The sauces were yummy. I loved the aioli and the agrodolce- a vinaigrette. Service was impeccable- friendly staff, thoughtful, and helpful with my questions. Clearly mindful of social distancing and cleanliness, but still so warm and welcoming. Thanks so much!

The coffee was great and water was super cold and no ice was needed. We started with the Greek Frites - they were flavored nicely with salt and pepper and the toppings were flavorful. We split the fried chicken sandwich and the lamb burger both were juicy and indulgent. We would definitely return!

I have been trying to support local restaurants during these restrictions, but service and food has been terrible! We were able to book reservations to pop in here on a Sunday and the service was flawless! We had to wait a short bit for a table and the hostess set us up with a space to sit, take our masks off, and order drinks while we waited. The servers were professional, yet friendly and helpful! They took time to explain menu items and even ask the chef is they didn't know! The vibe was awesome with good tunes and funky decor. We went with the cabbage salad and a burger. The food was fresh, flavorful, and delicious. The brunch menu was a mix of breakfast and lunch foods. We drank champagne which was super reasonably priced! With COVID, the space felt very safe and clean. But most memorable of all was the exceptional service. That alone would bring me back but as the added bonus, the food was yummy too!

Exceptional service and fresh food. Great HH drinks and such a friendly, accommodating staff! Cleanly and relaxing atmosphere. One of Rhino's beautiful gems!

Stopped by here for brunch. The wait was really long but they had a to go option and you could eat in the courtyard right next to them. I was really hungry and took this option. After we ordered our breakfast they asked where in the courtyard we would be sitting so they could deliver the food to us. There was also a rooftop option with a lot of seating. Breakfast was really good (had the preservery special) and the staff are super friendly!

We were excited to discover The Preservery yesterday after we visited some of the neighboring shops at Backyard on Blake. We were greeted immediately when we arrived at the door, and the hostess was very kind and showed us to an indoor table right away. I would have preferred to be seated outside, but the patio appeared to be at capacity, which is being limited for safety at this time. As we were being seated the hostess requested that we leave our masks on while she took our drink order. We happily complied. Unfortunately, the hostess did not explain that the restaurant requests that diners wear their masks any time the server approaches the table. Perhaps this should have been inferred by her request for us to order drinks with masks on, but this was not explained clearly to us, which resulted in a rather awkward initial exchange with our waitress.Our waitress began by standing very far away from us, raising her voice, and then finally asked us to please wear our masks. We quickly complied once we knew the policy, but the waitress seemed annoyed and snatched the paper menu from in front of me after I ordered and crumpled it up immediately and threw it away.We ordered the burger and the buffalo cauliflower appetizer. The burger was cooked properly, but didn't have a lot of flavor. The cauliflower bites were served with a garlic aioli type sauce and a buffalo sauce and were tasty but not special. We didn't try any drinks. The space and decor are beautiful. After the mask misunderstanding we wanted to leave sooner than later.It's wonderful that the restaurant is being so safe during these times. However, please clearly explain your safety guidelines to patrons, especially since your guidelines are different from most other establishments, and please be patient so everyone can have a relaxing experience.
Breakfast Burrito. The pork in it was very good. The burrito is huge. Enough to feed two. It is nice open establishment. Good vibe with a lot of natural light. Also had the buffalo cauliflower which was just okay. Not enough buffalo kick

Very limited menu due to COVID. Expect a wait as they are adhering strictly to minimal dining. Water pouring pitcher was cute. Very slow service. Very cool decor but a bit of a weird vibe and it doesn't help that there are only like 3 people serving all the tables inside the restaurant. The bacon was deep fried which was interesting as well as most of the other items on the menu including the eggs on the main sandwich they offer. The potato croquettes were like a ball of mashed potatoes fried. They are big so be sure to share as they are filling. Service and food were not anything great or worth going back unless they expand their menu after COVID and get more staff.

Full disclosure: I am remotely related to the owners. However, because I had a very good experience dining at The Preservery, I thought it appropriate to share it with others. Because my wife has an auto-immune condition, we are very cautious and have not eaten at a restaurant since early February. The restaurant has strict rules - you must wear a mask except when seated at a table, and even then the waitpersons will not approach your table unless everyone is wearing one. While I imagined that this would be awkward, the waitress was wonderful and made it all feel perfectly natural. Tables inside the restaurant and on the outdoor patio were safe distances apart and comfortable and the entire place had an open, airy feeling. I had the breakfast burrito, which was delicious and quite filling. My wife had a tasty gluten-free frittata that came with fabulous gluten-free potato croquettes. Service was excellent - friendly, thoughtful and professional. In these difficult times, it was nice to have good food, served in a nice open environment that felt safe.

Really enjoyed the atmosphere and ambience, but the service was garbage. Fries were undercooked, found a hair in my wrap, and the food was just bland. Servers were non existent. Oh and they automatically charge a 4% fee to pay their cooks? How about you price your food accordingly so you can pay a living wage? Would not go back

I came in today hoping to sit inside and Natalia invited me in very welcomingly and let me choose where I wanted to sit! She gave great suggestions on the happy hour menu and was so attentive! I had the Karaage Chicken bites made gf with buffalo and BBQ sauce and the BBQ was my fav! Also had the Pollinator drink which was DUOER TASTY!! This restaurant seems to be very friendly with its service and I felt very safe with their attention to health regulations due to COVID-19! Come enjoy the open atmosphere and treat yourself with a cocktail, the staff will take good care of you! Thanks Natalia!
