"I ordered the steak sandwich - medium rare - it came medium well to well. It was tasty enough that I didn't send it back as I was someones guest and it is their favorite restaurant. My host had the grilled calamari and they brought him some extra due to a kitchen incident. He shared it with the rest of us at the table and it was excellent!"

"Preston's is a wannabe Joey's/Cactus Club but isn't. The menu offers something for everyone and the Cobb salad I enjoyed with chicken was excellent. Perfectly acceptable for a business lunch or a catch up with your favourite friend, Preston's will not disappoint."

"My lunch had a very unpleasant taste to the point that I could not eat it and hand to spit the chicken into my napkin. I was with a client and did not want to complain in front of them. Was the worst lunch I have had out in a long time."

"I went there on a Sunday evening that was not very busy, so cannot judge the noise level when full. Very sleek, attractive, modern room, a bit sterile, but not cold. Nice, varied menu, very delicious, beautifully presented food and also reasonably priced. The Wine list is small, but has good selections and not terribly overpriced. Our waiter very pleasant and attentive, although of course he was not exactly "overworked" that evening. Whether it becomes a hot spot or vibrant bar scene remains to be seen. It's a hotel bar/restaurant and those rarely become that here in Vancouver, but the room has all the makings to become that, if the public would be so inclined."

"The food at Preston's is always good - the grilled squid is absolutely fabulous. We made the mistake of sitting at a table in the bar which marred the experience because the service wasn't very good. The bartender is responsible for the tables in the bar but it is very inconvenient for him/her to access the area from behind the bar. We would go again but would either sit in the diningroom or at the bar itself. Definately one of the better restaurants in the 3 surrounding blocks."
