I had the beef hash. There was an insufficient amount of beef and spinach in it. Mostly potatoes. The temperature of the mornay seemed that my dish had not been served when it ready was ready. We were a party of 7, which automatically made the gratuity 20%. I am a generous tipper and this time my choice would have been 15%. The best part is that the eggs were cooked as I requested. 3.5 stars. read more

This place is such a gem - amazing ambiance, great service, and even better food. Whenever my husband and I are in the area, we make sure to stop here. It morphs into the perfect spot, whether you're looking for a cozy date night, or in the mood for an absolutely perfect cocktail after work. There truly aren't many places that can pull off what this place does. Definitely do not miss this place when you are driving by this cute corner of town! read more

Preserve is great! The food was all delicious and it arrived pretty fast. Service was wonderful, the server was so patient with our large group of 12 ladies! Loved the atmosphere. It was a lovely place! Would recommend! They take reservations and are very accommodating and were also sweet enough to snap some group photos for us too. I will be back again! read more

Found this place on yelp and decided to try it for dinner. Parking was easy as there is plenty of street parking and a lot across the street. We didn't have any reservations but it was quiet inside. When we came up there was no hostess at the stand after waiting a while, we walked into the warm restaurant. She finally walked up and asked us to come outside so she could find us a table. Here's a thought: you should always have someone at your hostess stand especially if you're going to have it outside. It was freezing. After the slight hiccup with waiting in the cold, we were seated and greeted. We ordered Brussels spiritus which were likely the best I've tasted in a while. They weren't the crispiest but tasty. The pork chop and burger were also extremely flavorful. The negative, was the chicken. While it photographs great, it was dry and was not very well seasoned if seasoned at all. Which is highly disappointing. Overall, I love the ambiance, the service was a tad slow and the food was hit or miss.. for the price point it should be a lot better. read more

I have always visited for dinner and ordered the shrimp & grits from Preserve in Winters. However, I stopped by for lunch after attending their Fall Harvest Festival and unbeknownst to me, the lunch menu contained no shrimp and grits. It was such a blessing in disguise because I ended up ordering 4 different things off the menu and loved it all! What I got: - jalapeño jelly with frontage blanc: a little sweet and spicy, balancing the tart cheese very well Hummus and crudite: the smoked olive oil was a game changer! Butter lettuce salad: light and crisp Fish tacos: house made tortillas! Need I say more? I still have a special place in my heart for the shrimp and grits, but I can now attest that all their food is phenomenal. read more

I love this place, great food and drinks everything is fresh and delicious! This is also a great place if you want to get together with friends or if your looking to have date night. They have a good size bar, or tables throughout. We came here for a girls day, our server was super friendly! We had a hummus dip with veggies and then a cheese with jalapeño jam over it... all super delicious! In ordered the wild pear cocktail and the pretty in pink.. Both were delicious! They were a little sweet, but I would order them again. I ordered the corned beef sandwich.. oh my gosh it was delicious!!! The meat was tender, the bacon vinaigrette was so freaking good! The fries were very shareable and tasty! read more

Great ambiance, fine service, food was good. The French fries were so good. My friend and I split the house salad and the chicken. Salad and dressing was excellent. The chicken was good but not the best. I have had Angelina's chicken in Berkeley so I've been ruined. But all in all, great experience. Easy to have a conversation. Would recommend for an ideal date night environment. read more

The ambience is nice : dark & sultry ! I was met with a sultry seating & ordered the heirloom tomato salad & fried chicken The tomato salad was soooo disappointing- chunks of tomatoes- nothing special & the burrata was mediocre and a small amount. The fried chicken was pretty yummy - loved the fried thyme - chicken was brined well ' salty and delicious. ! I'll be back to try other dishes read more

Just was there yesterday for lunch. We ordered a wedge salad and a Ruben to share. The Ruben was the worst ever. The corned beef was very tough/chewy and very fatty. And very very little sauerkraut and the sandwich arrived cold. What was good about the lunch was the french fries and the barbecue sauce I was dipping them in. I did order Fauxito, a mock cocktail. That was good...and that why they earned two stars. read more

Great atmosphere and decor. Service was exceptional and the food was absolutely worth returning for.

First time at the Preserve and I loved it. The atmosphere was trendy and with a lovely energetic vibe while serene. The employees added to the serene atmosphere, managing the complex work of a well run restaurant while making it seem easy. Other venues could learn from this. Our food was very good. Aaron let us know about a delay due to the way an order was prepared and fixed it right away. I was already impressed with the quality of the service and now I was practically melting with relaxation, knowing I was in good hands in this absolutely lovely place. Our lunch was perfect, very flavorful and well seasoned. Aaron also helped us with our wine selection and I had an excellent Sauvignon Blanc. The restaurant itself is lovely. Elegant, clean and cozy. My friend took a look around and couldn't stop talking about the decor from the bathroom to the patio. This place is a gem. read more

Visited last night with some friends. I ordered a "la tienda" cocktail to start which I really enjoyed. They had a rustic sourdough served with homemade butter that was really delicious. Our friends got a charcuterie board that was quite skimpy on the meats and cheese so I'm glad we didn't order that for ourselves. The carbonara was unexpectedly light and the noodles were excellent in texture. My boyfriend got the burger and fries which were both delicious and a generous portion. I'm an octopus lover so I ordered the Spanish Octopus and regretted it. The chorizo in there was the highlight of the dish. We finished with the semi freddo which was the star of the show. It was creamy, tangy, sweet, and frozen goodness in every bite. I will probably me dreaming of if for weeks to come. Service was good, our waters stayed full the whole night and Hilda was knowledgeable about every dish. read more

Was in downtown Winters for a wine tasting event and the group was needing real food in our bellies, more than just fruit/nuts/cheese. Between Putah Creek Cafe, Buckhorn, and Preserve, we decided on Preserve for this visit. Indoor main dining wasn't open but they seated us in the backbar & patio area (Wednesday through Saturday, 4PM-8PM, walk-ins welcome on a first come, first serve basis), where you scan a QR code on the table to place your order vis toasttab. They also had a paper menu for looking at but you still had to go through toasttab for all food/drink menu items and payment at/from your table. Seems like the actual restaurant is only open on Fridays and Saturdays for lunch 12PM-2:30PM and dinner 5:30PM-8:30PM (limited reservations), and Sunday brunch from 10:30AM-2:30PM. The food selections are very limited, "casual bites": jalapeno jelly ($13), wedge salad ($16), mixed green salad ($14), mac & cheese ($15), cheeseburger & fries ($17), or Mary's organic [free range] fried chicken ($25). The rest of the menu was cocktails. Preserve(d): Lavender Fields, Death's Flower, Putah Creek Sour, La Tienda, Chapter 6, Preserve Punch, Stowaway, Schrute Farms. Vintage: Old Fashioned, Moscow Mule, Gin & Tonic, Bijou. Wine: sparkling brut rose, sauvignon blanc, dry riesling, chardonnay, red blend, pinot noir, merlot, zinfandel. Lastly, barrel-aged Vieux Cerre, Desert Negroni, or Longfellow drinks. Of course some of the wines were the local ones we had just tasted (Turkovich and Berryessa Gap). Personally I got 1 order of the mac & cheese, and 1 order of the fried chicken. The others each got the cheeseburger & fries (2 orders), 1 mac & cheese and non-alcoholic beverages. The mac & cheese was good, but was more like a starter portion. The cheeseburgers were 1/3 pound patties and good. My order of fried chicken came with 5 pieces, with bread-and-butter pickle slices. Although the mac & cheese wasn't filling enough on its own, adding the 5 pieces of chicken was too much and I ended up taking 1-2 chicken pieces home. Overall a nice atmosphere for the outdoor patio, green/flowering foliage all around, not busy for a weekday afternoon, the hostess was pleasant, easy bathroom access and open tables. Although this was a tiny sampling of their menu offerings and what their kitchen/chefs can do, I may return for a proper lunch or dinner at the Restaurant next time I'm in Winters. read more

We had a reservation for 12:30pm for 4 on Sunday. The two of us arrived on time, but our table wasn't ready. We waited for about 15 minutes to get seated. The restaurant is spacious with a big bar and patio seating as well. We opted for indoor seating due to the hot weather, however it wasn't particularly cool and didn't feel like there was air conditioning actively running. It was quite dark inside so that likely helped with the heat. Other than that the ambiance wasn't bad and people were friendly. We ordered the butter lettuce salad to share, which was ok, nothing too special. My partner ordered the Finnish pancake with confit potatoes on the side. The pancake was presented drenched and soggy. Other than the odd texture, the taste was ok. The potatoes were also pretty ordinary. I got the fish and chips per the waitress's recommendation over the French omelette, which I was glad about because my friend who got the omelette wasn't impressed. All of the ingredients were presented separately around a thin layer of rolled up egg. Back to the fish and chips: the sturgeon was fried well with plenty of meat. Firm but tender. I could tell the fish was fatty, but it wasn't overwhelming. Fries were average. The waitress was nice aside from snatching our plates away too soon without giving us a chance to say we weren't done. read more

PANDEMIC EDITION: Everyone get your phones out and learn to scan QR codes. Not too many folks out for a Friday date night, so we got seated right away. I believe we were offered the options of going indoors to order or to whip out smartphones and scan the QR code on the table. Doing so brings up a URL like usual and also allows them to deliver whatever you order to the table. https://www.toasttab.com/preservewinters/v3/ If you just want to browse the menu, select pickup for some time later. Pretty sure the menu was a bit more extensive before this pandemic dealio. Anyways, we ordered a few things and some drinks. All of which were paid for and delivered to the table after having entered my credit card info. Tip and everything. Didn't order anything from a waiter/waitress. The waitstaff did bring out food and beverage to the table, however. Had the shrimp and grits: Traditional Shrimp & Grits Hook's 5 year cheddar, house andouille sausage, maitake mushrooms, scallion. Small plate, not so small price. Was good enough to not cry about it though. Clean plate club here. A little bummer, but not of huge consequence: being the thirsty ones, we'd ordered another round of drinks. Had to enter in my credit card info again because I hadn't made an account as we do not frequent this place often enough. So if this is how it is going to be during the "your breath is a weapon" part of my life, so be it. I think there were options to have them, but no paper menus, no cash exchange and minimal interactions with waitstaff which may have already become the new norms. read more

I came here with my parents and we had a wonderful dinner! Our server was a very attentive, funny and energetic man. All of the dishes we ordered were great except my mom thought the fried chicken was a little dry. We especially loved the risotto, mac & cheese, and the sundae with pine nut brittle. The front of the restaurant is lovely with the greenery growing all around it, and the place felt very chill and relaxing. If I lived in this area, I'd definitely come back for date nights! read more

Located in historic downtown Winters, The Preserve is right on the corner of main drag near parks and other shopping. The service was good. Our server was friendly and accommodating. The decor is nice, with a hint of farm combined with elegance and natural plant life. We sat in the terrace in the back which is covered with beautiful vines, making it a great covering. There were outdoor heaters as well which added to the aura. The food was decent but for the price you pay, I expected more; at least cook the scallops on both sides. The burgers were extra delicious, juicy and cooked to perfection. For close to $30.00 a burger, they better taste delish right? The fries were disappointing. I'm not sure if they are made fresh daily but when going to a place like The Preserve, one would expect fries to taste better than a fast food place. To their credit, they weren't bad but I've had my fair share of fries at some of the best restaurants and the fresher, the better. The deviled eggs w/ caviar were ok. My wife actually makes better ones so I wouldn't get them again. The risotto can be a bit soupy, so keep that in mind if you're a risotto fan. I thought the pomegranate was an excellent addition combined with the mushrooms... it paired very well. For desert, we had the beignets with strawberry sauce on the side. They were cooked perfectly and had the typical powdered sugar atop. At over $300.00 with tip for a lunch that fed myself and four children, you're better off hitting up a mom and pop joint. This may be best for a date night with your spouse. I'd go back to try a few other dishes and update then. read more

We love Preserve, for the past 3 years we have dined here with the same server who lives in Vacaville (sorry I forget her name but she's amazing and we get her every time). We come for our anniversary and she just makes the night special by her warm style of service and great recommendations. Thank you for making delicious food and cocktails. We go out of our way to visit Winters just for this restaurant as both my husband and I work in the industry and can tell everyone here takes pride in their work. Bravo ;) read more

Delicious! Living in davis my fiancé and I were looking for new slightly fancier food places than what there and this place was a smash hit for us! Every cocktail we got there was also AMAZING and superrr well balanced (can't Remember their names unfortunately).

We were thoroughly unimpressed. I was shocked to see the good reviews on Yelp, maybe it was an off day?? Service was very slow and incomplete. Server did not bring plates to share a salad. We found ourselves always waiting on the waiter. Food was not even mediocre. Wings were tiny, dried out. Salad was terribly overdressed. Ruben sandwich meat was thrown together with chunks, like ends and pieces, not evenly sliced. The fries were cardboard, not edible. Based on my experience I would never return. Interestingly, I visited putah creek cafe the week before and it was absolutely fantastic! I was surprised to see the reviews not as good as this place??? Completely backwards of my experience. I will say the place is spacious, well decorated, and clean. read more

We love Preserve! I had been wanting to try this spot for years, and we went on a whim. We started with a Moscow Mule and Amaretto Sour. We got the Mac & Cheese appetizer, and the Reuben Sandwich & Steak Frites entrees. EVERYTHING was fabulous. So tasty, we'll balanced, and we'll seasoned. The atmosphere is hip and very comfortable. The staff is very welcoming, thorough and know exactly what they're doing. We will 1000% be coming back!! read more

Not a one star, but definitely not a five star. I happen to be visiting this area and I went on a date to this location. She suggested it prior to, however we opted to go to Sacramento due to variety chance to be able to get to a nice place. Saying that she suggested it again and due to the proximity and location of house and winters instead of going to Sacramento or San Francisco and or even Napa we chose this place for her recommendation. We came in with a reservation. We are seated promptly. I didn't mind where we were sat next to him, even though it was close to the door. The ambience of the restaurant made the location of where we sat feel unique to say the least.. We ordered four cocktails total the old-fashioned were OK and probably save this from getting a one star. The waitress was fairly nice. The only caveat came towards the end when I asked if they accepted contactless payment, which she replied I don't think we do that. I can't do that from here. I thought that was pretty weird considering it is 2025 but hold onto that thought. I wasn't impressed with the food at all my day order the most expensive thing on the menu which was a ribeye. It came out very interesting. Looking to say the least. I was disappointed for her seeing as I can go on any direction via Sacramento, Napa, and or San Francisco and at that price point have an amazing ribeye. Their ribeye look like a skirt steak It was thin to say the least. I didn't wanna try it based upon appearance and I don't know if my day understood what a decent ribeye looks like. I probably wouldn't go back here but the ambience like I said was amazing. I just definitely think that there's levels to everything and this probably isn't one of the best in my opinion . read more

Unfortunately only okay. For this price point, it should be good or maybe even great...but alas. Ambiance: really nice place inside and out. Beautiful, modern interior with little hints of rustic. Great looking bar that you can also dine at. Good: service was really good. We were well attended to by the staff. The drinks were very good as well. I had something called Sweater Weather, which I highly recommend, especially if you like bourbon. I tried a bite of the burger and it was really good. Well cooked, great flavor...would go back just for this if I find myself in Winters again. But this was the only food that I tried that I really enjoyed, besides the desserts (pumpkin cheesecake, beignets w/jam, ice cream sundae) which were all quite good. Bad: most other food dishes unfortunately, as I took small tastes of several of the other people's dishes at my table. I had the pork chop and found it to have almost no flavor. It wasn't seasoned in any meaningful way and pork NEEDS seasoning! The only part that had flavor was the small bit that had some char on it, otherwise almost tasteless. Mac 'n cheese was good, but nothing special. Luckily my daughter does not yet have a discerning palate. The risotto flavor profile was strange and was very salty. On top of that, an upcharge of $17 for 3 scallops7!?!?! I also had a taste of the steak and found it to be very underwhelming. If I'm paying $65 for a NY Strip, it should "pop off" my taste buds, but again lacking seasoning and didn't taste like anything special. Thankfully the place offered a wonderful setting for our family to celebrate my father-in-laws 80th year of life...so I'm grateful for that. The ambiance and service were great. The only thing, and this is IMPORTANT, I would highly recommend a new head chef. I apologize if this offends the current head chef, but honestly this is a gem of a restaurant if they can get their food dialed in and whoever worked the kitchen last night is failing the potential of this place. Management - TAKE NOTICE of the paragraph above. You're so close to a HIT, but the food taste/flavor/seasoning is holding you back. Either get the current chef to taste what they are putting out and kick up the flavor profile, or get another head chef/menu creator. read more

"Have a good one!" And we did after we went next-door to eat at Chuy's because the customer service at The Preserve left us completely wanting. It was a beautiful restaurant, except for the fact that she decided she wanted to take us for the walk down the long Green, mile to put us in the back away from all the other patrons. Passed up every beautifully, well lit and decorated booth to set us in a corner next to the kitchen like we were the help. don't worry about the food, not if it comes with a side of mismanagement and a huge helping of discriminatory behavior. Won't be returning after this experience read more

Food and service were amazing. Totally recommend this place for sure! Great atmosphere and friendly staff too

First time here and randomly stumbled upon this place, had drinks at the bar. I first noticed the chic and classy vibe as soon as I walked in. The ambiance was very chill. The bar had plenty of open seating. The tables in the restaurant seemed to be spaced out nicely and very lounge like which was nice. The bartenders were VERY good and super attentive. We didn't get food because we had already eaten but if the drinks are this good I definately want to come back to try the food. read more

Fine dining in an unexpected place. I've been visiting Winters for many years. Always a much different experience than the multi-cultural city I'm accustomed to. Much to my surprise and pleasure I recently had dinner at Preserve. Craft cocktails, yum. Fresh baked sourdough and homemade butter, delish. Grilled artichoke, don't mind if I do! Our server was knowledgeable about the menu and recommended the Petrale Sole, so good. We shared the beignets for dessert and they were the perfect finish!! If you've never been to Winters, give it a try. If you haven't been in a while, go again. read more
