    Southwest Chicken & Avocado Salad
    Lucy F.

    Overall place was not crowded and plenty of seats to dine in. I placed my order and was given a number to put on my table for order to be brought out. I tried the southwest chicken & avocado salad and a cup of country potato soup. They were a bit stingy on the avocado that came with the salad. The country potato soup was nice and hit, and it came with some side of crackers. The salad was just ok, the chicken was on the dry side. The strawberry lemonade was a bit to sugary for my taste, maybe asking for more ice make it better. Glad I carry purell hand wipes! ***This location had no working restrooms at the time of my visit, and some customers were upset. They had the area block with a hand made sign and some chairs. ***

    My daughter's impression: the annoyance is great, they keep it spotless. She also likes the music and the excellent service. Food is tasty and not too pricey for what you get. They accommodate gluten sensitivity. Selections for those with dairy allergies are limited, though.

    Both times I've been here the service has been fantastic! The food is pretty good and a little cheaper than Panera. Main options are soup, sandwich, or potato. I'd recommend getting a choose 2.

    I went there for lunch with a friend wanting to try McAlister's out and was pleasantly surprised. Staff was extremely helpful and friendly. Although they split the original Panera site in half, they kept much of the same layout. Much more spacious than the new Panera Bread location. The fruit and wrap were very good. I would try it again.

Ordered ahead and the food was ready in the time it took for me to make the 10 minute drive over. The restaurant was clean and had a nice sized dining room with a good amount of tables. Ordered a gyro sandwich and large Mediterranean salad with gyro meat added for us to split like we usually do and see how it stacks up to our regular spot. I liked the variety of toppings the gyro sandwich had and the chunky tzatziki but was surprised to find the sandwich came with no onions. My mom mentioned that she thought the gyro strips weren't as well seasoned as at other places and I initially disagreed but by the end of the meal I did notice the inconsistency and had more than a couple of bland tasting pieces. This was more notable in the Mediterranean salad which had a generous portion of the meat but was not very Mediterranean/Greek. It didn't have any olives, minimal onions and little to no dressing. Seemed more like just the fattoush salad with a couple of pieces of feta. So unfortunately it looks like we'll just have to make more of an effort to get into our tried and true gyro provider before closing time. I have to say that there was a couple of stray pieces of chicken shawarma in our gyros that actually tasted really good which leads me to believe that maybe Pita Zone's forte is their shawarma. I will probably put that theory to the test at some point in the future but not necessarily right away.

    A nice spot to grab a drink on a nice weather day - the outdoor patio is fantastic!…read more The fellas and I grabbed a round of brews here while roaming around downtown Geneva and we had zero complaints. It was really nice out so, naturally, we were at the outdoor bar/patio. What a delightful space: open, airy, ample seating, great staff. The biggest bummer is navigating inside for the bathroom but everything else is top notch. We're fans and will return again!

    I'd love to share my full experience at Preservation but alas, there isn't much in the way of food…read moreor drink I can report on. The service however, is a different story. My friend and I arrived around 7:15pm this evening, Tuesday night, a weekday. We were greeted by a hostess in a full winter jacket and completely empty front room. She gave us the option to sit in said empty room or to follow her back to a "cozy heated area." We couldn't decide so we asked her to choose, and she led us down a long, narrow hallway to the back. There were three parties total in the indoor patio--us, another table of 2 and a large party of 8. Their outdoor patio was open, and with a view of it from the cozy room. The outdoor patio was festive with holiday lights, heaters and perhaps 3 people sitting at the bar. Many employees bustled back and forth through the door linking our two spaces. Our waitress brought us two glasses of water and food menus, pointed out the QR code menu on our table and walked away. That was our ONLY interaction with her. We proceeded to then sit for 15 minutes, watching our waitress, along with 3 other employees walk back and forth, attentively serving the large party, cleaning up a recently vacated back booth, chatting with one another and even saw another employee take a moment to vape inside near the POS system. We were ignored. No eye contact, no smile, no acknowledgment. It's as if we were not even there. For a slow Tuesday night, with ample staff, this was unacceptable. It grew so uncomfortable that we gathered our jackets and began to walk out. As we made our way back down the long hallway, the hostess, carrying a tray of waters, thanked us for coming in. Clearly there is a lack of awareness--or attention to detail. In what world would we have been able to order drinks, eat and pay our bill in less than 30 minutes since you seated us? But Finally! Someone noticed us. Too bad it was too little too late. We walked a block down to a different restaurant, and had an amazing time, spending more time & money than originally anticipated at that establishment, as a direct result of the poor hospitality and lack of service received at Preservation. Their loss was the Alchemist's gain.
