Came for drinks on a blustery Saturday night. We sat at the bar. I ordered a Blackberry Mojito and it did not disappoint. The vibe was super chill and the bartender and bar staff were awesome. I hadn't been here in a while. Next time I'll come for dinner! read more

TLDR: Rustic and romantic spot with easy parking and accommodating reservation changes. Flavors were solid overall, though some dishes could have used better crisp texture. -------- I decided to come here after spending time at Park Winters Flower Farm, which is about a 15 minute drive away. I originally had a 12:30 PM reservation but was running a little late. I called ahead, and they were very accommodating in pushing our reservation back to 12:45, which I appreciated. Parking was not an issue, as there was ample space available nearby and around the restaurant. Once inside, the interior had a rustic and romantic atmosphere that made it a pleasant place for a relaxed meal. I ended up ordering the following: 1. Steak Frites: The steak was cooked nicely and had a pleasant flavor, though it was not overly bold. I did wish the fries were crispier to provide more textural contrast against the chewier steak. 2. Crispy Brussels Sprouts: The flavor here was great, with a well balanced sweet and salty combination. I expected them to be slightly crispier, but they still had a decent texture and were enjoyable overall. 3. Fried Chicken: This was the dish I enjoyed the least. It did not come with any sides, which made it feel a bit incomplete for a protein heavy plate. The coating could have been crispier, as it leaned more on the softer side. The staff was kind and accommodating throughout our visit, which added positively to the experience. Overall, this is a solid restaurant with a nice atmosphere and generally good flavors. While some of the textural elements did not fully land for me, I did think the meal was okay to warrant trying more things. read more

I came here for lunch on Valentine's day and really enjoyed my meal. I ordered the fried chicken which came with 5 pieces -- mix of bone in and boneless which was a surprise. Personally, I enjoy the bone in chicken a lot more so I was glad that there were only two boneless pieces. The meal does not come with any sides, so it's a good thing that we had also ordered the brussel sprouts on the side for an appetizer which had a pretty tasty flavor profile. The chicken does come with some pickles and two sauces (buffalo and some garlic oil). I'm a huge garlic fan so I was thrilled when I saw all these whole garlic pieces in the sauce! Surprisingly, parking was easy to find given the holiday. When we arrived into the restaurant, we were immediately greeted by staff who showed us to our table. Servers were quick and attentive. Constantly checking in on us. Clean, spacious area with tables both in and outside. My only complaint is that there are only two single restrooms, so there can be a line that forms to use them. read more

Preserve - Brussel Sprouts (small bowl) and Fried Chicken - Lounges Near Me - Winters, California

We had a reservation set for 7:45pm on Valentines Day but arrived about 45 minutes early. The nice lady that greeted us outside said they would work on getting us a seat and invited us in to sit at the comfortable couch while we waited. She also got us some drinks while we waited which wasn't too long. We started off with some smoked wings which were really nice. Nice smokey flavor with a touch of sweet chili sauce. The green sauce was alright but I thought the wings stood on their own. We each got the ribeye which was very tender and seasoning seared well on the outside. It was kind of a fatty ribeye, but still delicious. The horseradish was a nice pairing for it. The fries were crispy and came with a nice homemade ranch dip and ketchup. The broccolini was good as well. Preserve is yet another culinary gem located in Winters that's worth going back to. Madeline, our waitress, was very friendly and attentive. Kudos to the whole Preserve staff! read more

I'm so guilty of passing this place up for Buckhorn next door. And don't even ask me why because I don't even know!! Hubby and I enjoy monthly date day/nights. We came to Preserve for our first one for 2026 and I am so glad we did! Reservations on Resy was easy. There is also a free parking lot available across the street. When we arrived, we were greeted and sat at this semi secluded table. The view was lovely of the bar and it was nice to have a bit of privacy. We tried the brussel sprouts appetizer; which was good and the jalapeno jelly; which was soooo good! I absolutely enjoyed it with the warm toasted bread. We had extra left over and they offered us more bread- YES PLEASE! The steak frittes (i got medium well) was delicious! That chimichurri sauce stays constant on my mind. SHEESH! Fries are the perfect accompaniment- thin and crispy! For drinks, I am a big gin fan and I was pleasantly surprised to see gin cocktail options! I cannot remember which I had, but it was perfect- honey, lemon and crema de violette! To end the night, the beignets on the dessert menu was calling my name. Those pillowy golden bites paired well with the berry sauce. Service was excellent!! They are attentive and allow you dining time. I would absolutely come back again- for dinner next time. So grateful to have found this gem. read more

Delicious food overall, we did order takeout for four adults, it was prepared quickly. We took it home and jazzed up the fries with jalapeños and cheese. The risotto and scallops were underwhelming. A veggie to the dish would have been ideal. For the price you get very little. The flavor was amazing though! The bolognese spaghetti was flavorful and the portion good. Great burger, fresh ingredients. We've ordered the half chicken before, portion was on the smaller side. More quarter chicken before? read more

Amazing food and drinks! I came in for lunch on a Friday. The place is beautiful with indoor and outdoor seatings. I got the steak frites with steak cooked a perfect medium rare. It's tender and flavorful with chimichurri sauce. For sips I tried the death's flower which is refreshing and sweet but not too sweet. Mt server also recommended the Oaxacan on sunrise and it's got a beautiful color and tastes complex. I was full but then I see beignet on the menu so I'm hungry again haha. I also was curious about the PB&J cocktail so I got that as well. It is surprisingly got PB&J notes so cool! The beignet is hot and fresh, pairs so well with the berry sauce! Service is wonderful. Friendly and attentive. The staff is also very knowledgeable of the menu items and gave spot on recommendations. I definitely want to come back to try more! read more

It was a last minute decision to stop by Preserves on Father's day. We were surprised that the restaurant wasn't busy and that there were plenty of seats available. Of course we opted for the bar since we with without the kids and it was worth it. The moment we walked up to the doors we were seated, the bartender was within ear shot so he was very accessible. He provided us with the Father's day menu and offered some opinions on drinks that were all delicious. We ordered the charcuterie board, fried chicken, and the bravas. The food was overall good. The chicken was juicy and the charcuterie board was filling however we were not much of a fan for the bravas. With it being father's day, they had a limited menu and had sold out of the mac and cheese - which we originally wanted as a side. The atmosphere is pretty swanky with plenty of seating and a very chic bar. We've been here before years ago and knew what we were walking into but overall it was a great experience. read more

Went for a date night. Started with cocktails - one seasonal special and one standard whiskey sour. I had the pork chop - the piece of meat was huge - had to take half home. Meat was too salty but very tender. Probably brined. Came with yam puree and greens with chipotle. The chipotle paired great with all the flavors with the smokiness of the pepper. The yam puree was giving baby food - had to shake off that connotation. I would have preferred it sliced/roasted and to go with the smokiness of the chipotle. Or maybe a more rustic puree. The smoothness of it is what reminded me of jarred baby food. Husband had bolognese and friend had risotto and both enjoyed their dishes. Fun menu, high quality, attentive staff, and great ambience. A go-to restaurant for date night, especially with other foodies. read more

We had dinner here which my brother & sister-in-law graciously treated us. The server was friendly, attentive, and provided great service. I forgot to get here name. :( We went family style and shared all our entrees. *Vande Rose Heritage Pork Chop: mashed yam, braised collard greens, chipotle jus (4/5). The pork chop is so good. It's tender, juicy as expected as this was the 2nd time getting this. The chipotle jus is spicy. awe *Potato Gnocchi: wild foraged mushrooms, barley whey, Bayleaf oil (4.5/5). The gnocchi was pan seared which i loved yet it was still soft and had a good chew to it. The dish was rich, flavorful, and decadent. *Roasted Broccolini: pine nuts, garlic, chili flakes (4/5). Cooked perfectly the way I like. *French Fries: secret ranch dressing (3.5/5). Thin cut fries. The dressing reminded me of a cross between ranch/tarter sauce. *Rocky's Organic Fried Chicken: 5 pieces free range chicken, lemon, garlic confit, maldon salt, hot sauce, fried herbs (4/5). The chicken was a good mix of white and dark meat. They were perfectly fried to a golden brown and had a nice light crunchy batter. The dark meat was obviously juicer than the white meat. But, it was still good. Don't skip the garlic confit! *(Parker) Rolls - buttery, soft rolls. *Mocktail Mojito - nice and refreshing. *Old Fashion - good, I liked the branded preserve on the orange peel. *Wild Pear: Buddha's hand vodka, disarrona spiced pear, lemon, star anise (5/5). Oh, this was so good! I am so glad I got this! Sweet, but you could taste the pear flavor and the subtlety of the vodka. *Ice Cream Sundae: sweet cream and Vietnamese coffee, tcho hot fudge, chocolate soil, salted almonds, pine nut brittle (4/5). This had a lot of good textures and flavors. The pine nut brittle was divine. This was their first time here and we all enjoyed the dinner. Thanks bro and sis! read more

I would give them 4.5 stars if it were possible. I came with a friend I was visiting in Winters who is a regular here. The menu is small at lunch but well executed. The location itself is located in the charming downtown and is so aesthetically pleasing inside and out. Someone took great care in decorating and the floor plan. I loved their stacked rock wall outside. The inside was cozy and inviting given its large size. We started with drinks. I ordered a rotating cider which was from local purveyor Nitty's. It was a Cherry Pomegranate and hit the spot, very bright and refreshing. My friend had 2 craft cocktails, a voodoo something, with hisbiscus which was tasty and something with a grapefruit base, which was our favorite, very well balanced. We started with the Pepper Jelly Appetizer on my friends suggestion. This is not something I would normally order given I make my own pepper jelly but I'm glad I did! The frommage blanc it was served over was a generous portion and had a lovely texture. The pepper jelly was perfectly sweet with just a tiny kick. We did have to ask for more crostini as there were not enough to finish the dip but the server was happy to bring out more for us no problem. For entrees we decided to split the fish & chips and the fried chicken. This is the best fried fish I've had in a long time. It was light and airy and perfectly seasoned. It's a miracle when I don't have to add salt and pepper to something. The fries were nice and cooked perfectly though I would suggest steak fries, but that's just my personal preference when it comes to Fish & Chips. The fried chicken was organic from Mary's so the pieces were small but they gave you 5 pieces. It was seasoned perfectly, juicy and tender. My only qualm was it did not come with a side, just. Garnish of house made pickes. For that price point they should absolutely include some mashed potatoes, a small side salad, fries, or even better some of their Mac n' cheese. We did not have room for dessert. Over all a great meal in a cute spot. I'll definitely be back again to try some more selections, and their dinner menu. read more

This is a great casual restaurant! I got the pulled pork sandwich which was a very generous portion and they gave me so many fries! My dad ordered the chicken sandwich and he said it was really great, also with a big order of fries! The only thing, their ranch dressing has too much dill in it. I've never had ranch dressing like that before. But our other guest ordered the Cesar Salad and she really liked it as well! Our waitress was patient with our orders and friendly every time she came around. The restaurant itself is really well decorated. I love the rustic feeling inside with a beautiful patio out back. read more

This was my second time in a week visiting this great restaurant! The first visit was with a group of about 8 to 10 of us. The second visit was two of us at the bar, for dinner. I'll start with service for each visit then go to food. Service for our large group on the patio was awkward. After we received our drink orders, our executive was giving a toast, with all eyes on them. At the moment we were all toasting, our server decided that was the moment to fill our water glasses. While we were all leaning in to toast each other, she was pushing between us to fill water glasses. Sigh. Then when we were done with dinner, our other executive was the only person talking, with all eyes on them. That's when our server decided to interject herself to ask us if we needed boxes or anything. He must have started and stopped talking a half dozen times until our server was done interrupting. On my second visit I sat at the bar with my dining companion. Service was excellent. Our experienced server was perfect about when to dip in and out of our little conversation circle. His food recommendations were on point and he directed us to some delicious NA beverages. Food both nights was wonderful. On the first night with the group, we shared lots of small plates. There was risotto, papas bravas, smoked chicken wings, wedge salad and crispy brussel sprouts. When I ate dinner on Saturday, we split the steak tartare and the had the Niman Ranch Bavette. We ordered it cooked to the temp our server recommended and it was perfection! The steak tartare was wonderfully prepared too. The consistency was perfect and it was quite flavorful. I'll be back, and you should come back too! read more

I stopped by here on a whim for lunch while driving back from Shasta County. It's a really cute restaurant right off of Main Street in Winters. I walked in and thought I was in San Francisco with how pretty the inside was. Unfortunately, I was very underwhelmed with the food portion of this place. The waitress rattled off maybe four to five dishes that were not available that day. It's a small-ish menu already, so that was a bit of a bummer. My mom and I decided to share the house salad, a side of fries and the mac n cheese. The vinaigrette was very acidic in the salad, so I was not able to eat this. The mac and cheese had no flavor at all. The fries were seasoned well and the side of ranch was tasty. Maybe I came here during an off time/ day but it's a bit of a disappointing experience. read more

We haven't been to Winters in a bit, so we decided to stop by the Preserve for an early dinner on a Saturday afternoon. We didn't make a reservation but we were seated immediately at the bar, which we prefer from time-to-time for the added social aspect. The bar and restaurant are equally beautiful. Our bartender was Fabian and he was an absolute joy. During our dinner and drinks we learned that he was a recent college graduate and has been working at Preserve for about 3 months. I would have never guessed. He handled not only us but a busy bar extraordinarily well, all while tending to our food requests with ease. We enjoyed his company and look forward to seeing him again. I started with a local beer and my wife had the Sangria. We enjoyed both, and then shared a bottle of wine with dinner. We shared some oysters as an appetizer. They were very good. For dinner, my Wife ordered the Scallop Risotto and I had the Fried Chicken with a side order of Brussel Sprouts. Once again, we enjoyed everything. The fried chicken was cooked perfectly with just the right amount of breading. I would definitely order it again. All in all are very pleasant experience and we both left very happy and satisfied. Thanks again! read more

The gnocchi was really good and the fried chicken and risotto were good as well. The other dishes were pretty average including the wedge which I used to love and the rolls which I've heard good things about. Service was fine but less attentive than I would've preferred in the beginning. Portions are also quite small for the price tbh given few items were amazing. I loved this place in the past so maybe it was an off day hence the 4 stars but I'm hoping this isn't the new standard. read more

My sister & I decided to treat ourselves for Xmas on 12/26 around 4pm. We chose to sit at the bar, & Aaron took our drink & food order. We both got their delicious Sangria $13 which has a hint of Cinnamon. We decided to share an order of skinny fries $6, with a side of Ranch. They were cooked perfect & crispy but a bit peppery. We shared an order of their Organic Rocky's Fried Chicken $25, as well as a Grain Bowl $16, which were both oh so wonderful. We finished off the celebration with one of the best Long Island Iced Teas I ever had $15ea., which was lemony and delicious. We decided to get a yummy slice of their Pumpkin Cheesecake $12. Aaron did a great job checking on us from time to time. read more

Food was delicious and plated beautifully. We went there for lunch after a hike. We ordered the fried chicken, reuben sandwich and a salad.

My friends and I stopped by on Sunday 4/6 after a full day of hiking, hoping to recharge with a solid meal before the drive home. We arrived around 1:30 PM and were seated right away since it wasn't very busy inside. Unfortunately, the good news stopped there. Service was noticeably slow and inattentive. Our server barely checked in with us, and it felt like we had to flag someone down anytime we needed something. After a long, active day outdoors, we were definitely hoping for a more welcoming and attentive experience. The food itself was... fine. Not bad, but not memorable either--especially for the prices they charge. For a place that presents itself as a higher-end local spot, the quality didn't match the cost. This was our second time dining here, and sadly, it's confirmed that this won't be a go-to spot for our post-hike meals. It has potential, but the service and food just don't deliver consistently. read more
