    This is a really nice location, inviting environment, food was very good,service was friendly and fast. Food price was about average for what we ordered seafood sliders, shrimp lettuce wraps, and calamari. Beer prices were reasonable and good selection. The only con I had was cocktail prices seemed high. But you if want to order a cocktail you’ll be fine

    We went here for restaurant week: the ambiance was great, service was a bit slow (but it was packed and they were nice), but the food was a bit of a let down. The burger was really plain and the dessert was one star. Maybe we’ll go back and try other things on the menu.

    The Presley was an absolute delight. The ambiance was great even with the airplane noise. Very friendly staff at the hostess stand. Our waitress was outstanding. She had great recommendations. I would highly recommend The Presley.

    The only issue I have with this restaurant is that it is in the flight path of jets and the noise can be over bearing. The jets are taking off every minute. It feels like, and so you have to stop your conversation when they're going by.

    The food was high quality and outdoor facilities were great. It was nice to be able to make a reservation for brunch, most places just line you up. Prices were a tad high and service a tad slow, but on balance we were pretty happy.

    Great food and service. Had the Shrimp and Bacon tacos before which were really awesome and tried the Lobster sliders this time which were amazing! My friends enjoyed the Fish and Chips as well as the Grilled Chicken Sandwich. Has a nice menu with something for everyone.

    Lovely patio seating. Our server was nice and friendly when she came around. I felt we were given too much space and not enough service. My drink was empty for a long time and I ordered a side of French fries (which were delicious, I tasted my friends dish) but they never came. Because the food was so good and the place so cute, I will give it one more try to see if it was just an off night. Overall, I still had a lovely girls night out.

    Server asked us to pick any table and pointed to the options. We picked a table, sat down, only for the server to ask us to move. We were then informed that no tables were available and had to sit at the bar.

    We sat outdoors with planes overhead every few minutes, which is part of the ambiance. We had fish & chips and a burger with calamari and cocktails before. All were tasty, but then our waiter was incognito even though he kept walking by our table after we were obviously done! We had to raise our arms to flag him down to get our check. I guess it’s a pet peeve having been in the restaurant biz for many years!

    the hostesses are quite rude and disinterested. the waiter was great and very friendly. food and drinks arrived promptly. all three meals came with undercooked potato. i probably wont go back because of the hostess station and initial sitting experience. not sure, if it is an industry trend to put rude employees at the front of the establishment.

    The Presley offers a really nice venue in the Liberty Station area. The outside seating is fantastic, the tables are at a nice distance from one another. Both the hostess and the server were super nice and accommodating, so service was great. The food was okay, not the best I have had at the Presley, so that was a bit disappointing. The flatbread was bland, same with the eggs benedict, the hollandaise really lacked personality. It was not bad, just very bland. Maybe they changed the chef or the recipes, because these items used to be very good, and in the past their eggs benedict used to be the best ones around. Will I return to the Presley, the answer is yes, but I will certainly hope for food with more flavors.

    Food has been quite good here all five times I've come. I am a bit lower on stars in areas because the sun was monstrous and there was no where else to sit. (We were near the bar, on a bench/chair combo table) A small curtain on the west walls would help. Three in our party were facing with sun directly in their eyes. Service was decent, although our waiter was too busy to check on us. Once we paid, no more water or checks to see if we wanted more drinks etc. Everyone pleasant enough though.
