The Presley

Salmon Benedict was good, but steak Benedict didn’t taste good. Service was really good. Server followed up with us if we need anything and got our order correctly. He even replaced one drink we didn’t like to another free of charge.

Ordered Basic Breakfast, Breakfast Sando, and Schnitzel & Eggs. Roasted breakfast potatoes were very nicely cooked and good bite sized pieces. This was on all 3 of the plates ordered. The Schnitzel & Eggs is a great option if you're feeling up for a filling meal, good enough to cover breakfast, lunch, and an afternoon bite. I requested eggs over easy and these were very good, enough liquid yolk afterward to mix with the pork loin. The pork loin was a very nice piece, not over-crisped; the gravy helps and so does a bit of the yolk too if it feels dry. The atmosphere here is great, staff are very patient and kind, and the location has mostly an outdoor setup. It's airy, spacious, you don't feel claustrophobic but there is spacious indoor seating as well. Rare for rain to impact the seating area but we were fortunate for the rain to stop shortly before we arrived. Thankfully wait times are short for brunch as well (5 minutes for us because they wanted to clean an outdoor table for us) and my group was very glad to make it over here. If you're considering Breakfast Republic one block over, reconsider and come here instead. The long waits and high paced feel of Breakfast Republic feel opposite to what The Presley offers. So come here!

I chose to dine here for their variety of egg benedict options & left disappointed in our experience overall. We were greeted by a host who seemed overwhelmed (granted the restaurant was packed). She didn’t leave the best first impression but we moved forward and wanted to give this place a fair chance.

I was excited for the bloody mary after looking at other reviews. It was tasty but missing the bacon (something their menu specifically states is included). We asked our server if she could bring it out & she kindly did which I appreciated!

All 3 of us ordered the steak & eggs benedict. After waiting 45 mins for our food, I slice into my first egg to discover it wasn’t over-easy or even over-medium, but over-hard. I was shocked. Five of six eggs served to us were cooked over-hard, something that is unacceptable when paying $22+ per plate. The steak was tender & flavorful, but honestly, with no runny egg yolk, the benedict was a flop. Our server admitted that it was unacceptable & brought another egg out (in replacement for my hard boiled egg), which was cooked correctly. On the other hand, the potatoes were crispy & very tasty.

I understand that when a restaurant is busy & the kitchen is behind, that meals can be delayed and service may be slow. I don’t find it acceptable to serve over cooked food. Additionally, the place seemed to be run by all young adults, who, quite frankly, could have better attitudes. We went from being excited to try this place, to laughing at how ridiculous our experience was by the end of our meal.

The food at Presley is just as classy as the atmosphere! The place is very tastefully decorated in a very relaxed and comfortable way, making for a very chill and easy experience.

The hostess was super friendly and welcoming offering us several different seating options. We opted for a high top tucked back a bit in the shade. Our server was just as friendly and inviting, making us feel even more welcome.

The food was amazing, absolutely amazing! We started with the lobster sliders which were delightful! Seriously, almost anything on Hawaiian rolls is delightful, they were no exception! I got the grilled turkey wrap and hubby got the seared ahi. Both meals were cooked perfect and presented very beautifully. The wrap of the sandwich was still warm from being grilled! The honey mustard sauce was perfectly subtle and the steak fries were hot and fresh. Hubby's tuna was seared to perfection and the tuna was melt in your mouth delicious!

I know I used the word perfect a bit too much but when everything lines up between atmosphere, service, food and drinks there's no other word to use!! I highly recommend The Presley and will definitely be back!
