RESTAURANT — LOUNGE — ALL WEATHER PATIO — LIVE MUSIC Preservation is a destination for creative dishes, eclectic cocktails and a first-class wine list — all enjoyed in a laid back scene featuring an intimate lounge up front and more indoor and outdoor all-weather dining amongst a hip mix of diners and sippers. Live music 7 days a week - never a cover.
“Great food, made in house. Don’t expect to find domestic beers here- everything is craft brewed and locally sourced. A delicious environment with live music everyday and a wonderful, chill environment with excellent service staff to enjoy them in.”
“Sat in the outdoor patio area, with another party that had a dog. It was a little cool, so the heater was on. The service was excellent, food was delicious.”
“One of the best go-to places for foodies in Geneva. They specialize in small dishes that you share and the flavors are usually over the top good. Summer time? You have to do the Quinoa Watermelon salad. Even if it doesn't sound like your jam, it is to die for. Long time favorites are always the Korean Pork Belly Tacos and the lettuce wraps. I have never had a bad dish here. The drinks are really good, although I wish they were a bit bigger. Probably the best part is the vibe. They built the outdoor seating a few years back and it is amazing to be there in the summer. It's covered too so rain or shine. Heater help with the cold. Don't try parking on the street, go behind the place or the parking garage next door, both free.”
“Food was absolutely delicious. There is a wide variety of options and is best shared with friends so that you can enjoy the diversity of flavors. The staff was very friendly and helpful in making our choices. The meal was long but by design. Perfect for a night out with friends to catch up. Live music on the outside patio for those who enjoy eating outside, which I do not but the inside was comfortable.”
“I'm a guy looking for a decent meal and a drink. I come in and the interior is empty of customers, I ask if the kitchen is still open and it is - Great! Ask for seating and I'm offered an external area (because its heated), in the middle of winter... no, I'd like internal seating please. They accommodate. Ask for a menu of the drinks... it's all barcoded, no physical copies of what drinks are available.... told the menu changes often and it's hard to keep up... I ask if there is anything on tap and was told it's all outdoors on the heated area. Okay, I'll go check it out. I was lead out doors by the greeter for the taps... absolutely nothing recognizable. Ask if they have ciders, told it's all in can. I was given a taste of one of my choices and picked randomly amongst the tap. Got a taste, and its IPA/Hop loaded beer. Great... no choices whatever since I can't name any of them. The unknown beer it is. Order a classic Ruben on rye - saurkraut and dressing listed and here I am thinking it's on the side. Nope. Just a Ruben and nothing else, sliced into 4 parts. I have to order a soup just to make it a decent meal. If you are looking to be posh with your date, go ahead and come here... if you want a decent restaurant/bar experience you'd be better off somewhere else. Not for families or first dates (imo).”
