Second time here. The first time was a bad experience. We were seated in the outer area right by a busy road. Our waiter was terrible. Food was garbage. This was about 2 months ago. Decided to give it another shot. Boy I glad we did! Tonight’s service was excellent! The waitress was on it, always checking on us (even being really busy). The food was outstanding and worth the money! Not sure what changed but it was night and day! I would recommend giving g this place a go!

This gem of a restaurant pleasantly surprised us! The wait staff was friendly and always ready to assist or answer questions. The menu was varied and just so happed to have things we were interested in trying. The sauces and spices were right on and we had to order two bread baskets to keep dunking! The servings were generous and we ordered too much and now have lunches for the next day. The mussels in garlic and butter were a meal onto themselves, plus the dipping bread! I definitely would recommend this restaurant!

This was our first fine dining experience as a couple and the Valentine’s day menu was perfect! We got to take anything we didn’t eat home, and their champagne was delicious! We had a perfect night, and all of the staff was amazing to us. We’ll definitely be back!

From the moment we walked in, Prelude Kitchen & Bar set the tone for an unforgettable dining experience. The service was impeccable—attentive, warm, and truly top-tier. Every dish was crafted to perfection, bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. The ambiance? Simply stunning. Elegant yet inviting, it creates the perfect backdrop for a special night out. Whether you’re here for a romantic dinner or a celebration, Prelude delivers excellence on every level. Highly recommend! ✨🍽️

Outstanding service. Had two additional guests and the hostess got us in and from there on, service was excellence. One guest was first time there, and he walked away raving about quality of food and he loved hearing the history of the restaurant as a state government institution.
