Business Information:

Short description of your business:

Preservation Kitchen features seasonal Northwest cuisine with a menu that changes based on what our Chef Michael Lopata can get locally and fresh from our Washington growers.  We serve dinner Tuesday through Sunday from 4:30 pm to 10:00 pm and our Happy Hour is from 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm daily.  We also have a late Happy Hour Tuesday through Thursday after 8:00 pm.  We serve breakfast and lunch Saturday and Sunday from 9:00 am until 2:00 pm.  Our restaurant has a charm and elegance that makes us perfect for your special occasions, as well as a comfortable, cozy feel that makes us ideal for a casual dinner with friends or family.  Preservation Kitchen is truly special enough for any occasion but priced for everyday.
