PRESS Restaurant

"Just finished an amazing anniversary dinner at Press. Jon and Roberto were our main servers and were both amazing and attentive. The staff running food from the kitchen were also a joy to learn from about each course. The food was as much a feast for the eyes as it was to taste. Our server Jon made the perfect wine pairing for us. It was an amazing meal to celebrate our love of food and each other. Thank you, Press!!"

"Beautiful establishment with impeccable service and good drinks. My husband and I had the 4 course meal. We don’t eat beef or pork, maybe this was the issue but we left hungry and not satisfied. No carbs, the flavors weren’t really layered and it almost seemed like the chef had a perception of “California” food being light and airy and therefore skipped on the heartiness of the flavors and satisfaction of dinner."

"This place was a complete surprise and even though they are only one Michelin Star, they manage to beat French Laundry and at half the price! Got the tasting menu. Skipped the wine pairing. The free dish they gave us in the beginning was so good. Geoduck on some frozen salty cucumber. Was blown away with the creativity. Their first dish is actually three separate things. Trout tartar perfectly salted, the crispy salmon skin with caviar is mind blowing good. The poached lobster was also great! The next dish showed how they are able to balance fatty rich flavors by providing some acidic flavors. The pork jowl is amazing. But so rich with the coconut sauce. But underneath is some acidic vegetables to the rescue. I’m not a cheese guy so didn’t care for the ricotta. But the mushroom and broth was intense. We also had the pasta with black truffles and corn. It is sweet and the pasta was al dente. Very rich. The halibut dish was ingenious with explosions of flavors. So good. Probably my favorite next to the salmon chip. The steak is good too with the smoky mushroom sauce. Next cheese dish I ate everything except the cheese. The last dish was the chocolate dessert with the olive oil sorbet. Very good. I highly recommend everyone give this place a try. Their creativity with their dishes were outstanding. The wait staff were all very good."

"We recently came here to celebrate our 9-year wedding anniversary and had such a nice time! The service was exceptional. I can’t even count how many people came out to serve us. Everyone was very nice and attentive to our needs. The presentation of the food was impeccable and it was all delicious! We did the four-course meal and ordered: green tomato, grilled lobster, braised Romano beans, ricotta gnudi, 45-day tomahawk, black cod, cafe au lait and brown butter maple cremeux. The vintage wine recommended by their master sommelier went perfectly with it all! The main dining area inside is bustling and loud. We were seated outside where the music was a lot quieter. At times it was a little too quiet and had to ask for the music to be a little louder but overall I think I’m glad we were in a more intimate setting for our occasion. The party was definitely inside lol. If I had to be super picky, it was a little disappointing to see people there with jeans and kicks. Hopefully they can be a little more strict with dress code to uphold the restaurant status and reputation. The restaurant has a Michelin star and they have a master sommelier on staff. There aren’t many master sommeliers in the world at all. It was nice he came by our table as well. So overall, world class wine paired perfectly with fine food. Can you beat that?"

"Food, service, drinks and atmosphere were impeccable. It’s truly a high end experience. I love how much they experiment with food here. The flavors, freshness and presentation of the food was so impressive. The wait staff and sommeliers on staff were so friendly and knowledgeable. While the price is high, it’s definitely worth the visit and you get what you pay for. Would love to go again. Will be thinking about this meal for a while."
