    Eggs Benedict
    Kimberly W.

    If you're staying at the Chase, live nearby, or are going to a matinee at the movie theatre, this is a decent option for brunch. The prices are reasonable considering the area. Service was attentive while also letting us sit and visit. I had the Eggs Benedict, which I thought was tasty. Their hours are limited, so make sure you check the time before you try to stop by.

    Breakfast July 2023

    Service was prompt at 8am. Service was good. Plenty of seating on a Wednesday. Went with the basic options. Eggs/sausage/potatoes/toast. All were solid but nothing that really stands out. Sausage was flavorful. Average meal. It was fine but won't necessary return for breakfast.

    Peanut butter accompaniment

    Perfect for a fancy date night. You will spend over $100 for 2 people, but it's all worth it. The service is exceptional. The plating is exquisite. The food is divine! Located inside the Chase Park Plaza in the Central West End. Valet parking is free for guests of the restaurant. The hostess will validate your parking. Here's everything we ordered: Pretzel Croissants with peach bourbon jam & house made chive cream cheese Deconstructed Lobster Salad with greens grown on site, huge portions of lobster meat + claw, St. Andre cheese, dried apricots, topped with a curry vinaigrette. Jumbo Scallops (4 to an order) with Peruvian potatoes, Jerusalem artichokes, topped with salmon roe House Dry Aged Strip au Poivre with peekytoe crab (the CRAB!) Dessert: Crème Brülée with a passion fruit gel, Madeline cookies, Grand Marnier soaked strawberries, and freeze-dried strawberry crumbles Peanut Butter Accompaniment with layers of chocolate and peanut butter mousse, topped with chocolate pieces and peanut brittle The Bixby (Limoncello + Hendrix) named after the owner of a mansion on the land that is now the Chase. The Steeple Chase (Vodka+ Crème de Cassis) named after the area in the Chase where you'd park your horse while you checked into the hotel.

    Came for Easter brunch with the family and loved it! We normally are at a different hotel for our annual Easter brunch but this year I booked too late and found space at The Preston and was absolutely blown away! They have amazing appetizers including tuna tartare, they had an oyster bar, everyone gets an a la carte main, the dessert tables are to die for and the mimosas are bottomless! Would definitely come back next year- price for the Easter Brunch was more than reasonable!

    We were trying to find a new brunch spot and remembered this restaurant inside the Chase Park Plaza. We got here around 10:30am and the hotel was busy. We waited at the host stand for quite sometime before we were greeted, and then waited for an additional 25 minutes to be seated. They had a small, but great menu to ensure there's something for everyone. We ordered right away and the food came out piping hot! We ordered the Classic, Good morning Preston and the blueberry pancakes. The Good Morning Preston dish was a take on a Croque Monsieur and it was Devine! But I will say the blueberry pancakes is what I remember. They were perfectly fluffy and flavorful. This is a must see place especially if you've never been to the Chase Park Plaza. The inside transports you back to the 40's.

    Avocado toast
    Cassie K.

    We had brunch at The Preston the other day inside of the Chase Park Plaza. From the time you walk in everything is super charming and tasteful. You can tell it is an old building but it still sparkles and is endearing. We had a group of 10 of us and a reservation at 11:30 but did not get sat until 11:45am, which is not atypical for large parties it seems. Our table shared a couple bottles of champagne and my mother in law shared the avocado toast and the eggs meurette. The avocado toast lacked some 'umps' but it was good. The eggs meurette was definitely my favorite. I would have liked a little more of the pork belly but overall the dish was very good. One other perk was that the restaurant was able to validate our valet parking so that was complimentary which was nice.

    Spinach and mushroom omelette with cheddar cheese. Mimosa highlights the background!!
    Terrilyn L.

    The Preston is inside The Chase Hotel. They have a full bar and a welcoming staff. The food does not disappoint!! The secret star of my cheddar, spinach and mushroom omelette were the potatoes!! The flavor of these potatoes was a meal maker!!

    Impeccable service, food was SO delicious please try the crab cakes, pretzel croissants, and the lamb chops. Ambiance is so aesthetic, perfect for a date night or special celebrations. Thank you!

    Talked my friend into walking over to the Chase Park Plaza for breakfast after the 8am mass at the Cathedral Basilica. The selections on the menu were perfect. I chose the Eggs Benedict and added fruit and potatoes, which surprisingly were not included with my entree (and the reason I deducted one star.) Calm quiet atmosphere, as there were only a couple other diners eating when we arrived. Attentive service and they take Apple pay, thank God, because I left my wallet 0.6 miles away in my car. I will return, but I think for a $17 breakfast entree there should be at least one side included.

    The Easter Brunch exceeded all expectations. Greg, our server, was more perfectly attentive. The food was delicious and plentiful.

Watching his masterful skills as he prepared our cocktails was pure entertainment. We were both impressed with the presentation of our martinis. They are served in vintage styled glasses. It was the best Espresso Martini I have had since, Harvey's in midtown closed. The martinis were so good, we thought we'd have a light nosh. We both like pistachios so we ordered a, Pistachio Brown Butter Tea Cake and shared it. The bartender also recommended it. His description was spot on. With an excellent martini and a pistachio tea cake, I may have told the bartender that I loved him. We finished our drinks and I settled up our tab in celebration of my BFF's B-Day. Walking out, both of us said, we're definitely coming back.

Ps does seem there is an allergy option so if you do have an allergy I suppose you can check that but I'm not sure how to note what you need a change; didn't see it in the QR-only ordering.
