This was the first time for my husband and I to try. Wasn’t sure after mixed reviews. We were pleasantly surprised. My hubby had the fried chicken plate w/mashed potatoes, biscuit and coleslaw. The biscuit was cool so they brought us another one, no big deal. I had the spaghetti pecorino. It was delicious! Overall we really enjoyed the food and ambiance.

Prelude is the perfect destination for any occasion—whether you're celebrating something special, catching up with friends, or simply looking to enjoy a delicious drink in a vibrant, welcoming atmosphere. We sampled the tartare and the ponzu, and both dishes were great, full of fresh flavours, Prelude is a must-visit. Highly recommend!
