    We were celebrating a birthday and the staff made sure to make it feel extra special. We sat at the bar but it still felt intimate and we’re able to still talk to each other. Every dish we ordered was excellent. The octopus dish was the most memorable. Do not skip dessert. The olive cake is a top dessert in ATX for me. Great service and honestly well worth the price.

    Everything was perfect. The ambience, the food and the service. I’m picky about cocktails. The Duchess might be the best one I’ve ever had. Brioche bread was a die for, I ate the entire loaf alone. 100 layer cake was stunning and also delicious. This just beat out my number one favorite, Jeffery’s in town.

    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!
