The walk-up, outdoor seating bar caught our eye on a beautiful Saturday afternoon so we stopped in for an impromptu drink. Beautifully made and delicious craft cocktails and the decor inside makes you want to go home and renovate your own kitchen and dining space to match.

Food was okay nothing was outstanding, drinks was water down and blend. Service was poor, our server doesn’t know much about menu and unfriendly. When we asked questions, he answered with sarcastic attitude. And they charged us labor of love?? When we asked what it was about, the server said it was helping restaurant paying for their health insurances!! It was ridiculous!! I am in restaurant business and always tip 20-30% and spend money when I go out. That was our 3rd stop but we still spent $200 to support them. That was unacceptable.

Great branding & great service. If you’re looking for something a step above the Iron Rooster, you’re at the right place. My salmon Benedict was made well but I would’ve needed two servings to fill me up, which is not the case for other places. So be careful, because even if you spend $90 you might still leave this place hungry. My friend liked her vodka cocktail and they definitely put some thought into the prep

After some shopping on Main Street, my family, and I decided to pop into Preserve to get dessert and drinks. It was really neat to see that Preserve had Woman’s Month Cocktail Specials. After getting to know the beautiful staff, we learned that the drinks were actually named after each woman that works there, which was really fun to learn! It was also exciting to see that they had a vegan dessert, which was OUT OF THIS WORLD! The vegan Pot De Creme was absolutely phenomenal!

I am always pleasantly surprised by the way these dishes are prepared and presented. Even their cheeseburger tastes unique but familiar.

Wow this is my new favorite spot in downtown Annapolis! We split the pirogies, mushroom cheesesteak, and the fig tart and I was so pleased! Mikala was our server and she really helped us with recommendations. Will definitely return! Make reservations in advance to this hot spot!!

Food and atmosphere were great. So good I only got pictures of our starter and first round of cocktails. I’ll be sure to be back and give an update. We had the delicious duck, perogis, and burger.
