    We had Fox tickets and were concerned with timing. Our waiter was extra attentive and made sure we were on time. The food was delicious and the restaurant beautiful!

    Where do I begin? The main purpose of coming to the Preston this late in the holiday season is because the Chase./Sonesta decorates for the holidays up there with the Drake Hotel in Chicago, hotels in New York. It’s just beautiful and creates an ambience. The other purpose was to bring three girlfriends to a breakfast before the holiday madness, because we have a rich history of grandparents/relatives who lived in the CWE, growing up, so we remember when….. Alice was our server, and was so beautifully attentive, kind to take multiple photographs of us, gave us the space and the time we needed to see and visit with each other, which is very important not to feel rushed. We really liked the selection and choices for breakfast. We had Eggs Benedict, Belgian waffles, and bacon, and ate every single bite. One friend noticed that the hollandaise on the eggs Benedict was far superior to any other breakfast place that she eats at. We normally have dinner at the Preston, which is always good, so this was truly a treat. Well done👏🏻

    French onion soup was good. Caesar salad good but heavy on the dressing. Prices were a little high. Service was outstanding, very personable staff members.
