Wednesday nights are Fried Chicken nights at the Preserve in SaddleBrooke. My husband and I treated my sister and her husband to the meal. Three out of the four found the meal lacking. We all liked that the chicken pieces were small in size instead of jumbo sized like from the grocery store. The meat was moist and the skin very crispy. Where the chef went wrong was adding so much sugar to the batter that that was all we could taste. It was very disappointing. The mashed potatoes had a good consistency but the gravy was barely warm and somewhat congealed and had little flavor. Green beans are one of my favorite vegetables and I was delighted that they were the vegetable that night.

I think this restaurant is doing a disservice to its guests just because most of its guests are residents of...
Read moreWhat a great find for lunch for my wife's birthday. Outstanding decor inside with wonderful views. Kayla, our waitress, was terrific. She recommended the special which was a flatbread barbecue chicken pizza with tomatoes, corn onion and cheese which we combined with a large Cobb salad and split both. They were delicious. My iced tea and water were constantly filled and my wife enjoyed a glass of wine.
The price for lunch was incredibly reasonable too; just a bit over $40 including wine. Kayla warranted a great tip too; super genuine, attentive and helpful - she enhanced an already wonderful place.
