The 3 course menu changes monthly and may slightly evolve over the course of the month. Our bar menu changes whenever Chef feels like it and we also often offer entree specials so check out our Instagram for the most up-to date bar info.

While making your reservation, you will be asked to put a card on file incase of cancellation. If you are forced to cancel your reservation within the 24 hour window - then and only then- will your card will be charged. Reservations are transferable in order to avoid this fee. This is not a pre-payment.

This rule was created out of necessity. As a ten table restaurant in a small town, each guest is very impactful to the income of the restaurant. If we have guests cancel without proper notice, we are often unable to fill those seats and that leads to wasted food and decreased revenue. Thank you for your understanding. 

We do our best to be able to serve every guest that would like to dine with us however, we are unable to guarantee accommodation so please look over the menu and let us know about your concerns as soon as possible. We’ll work with you.

We are often unable to accommodate for people who are both dairy and gluten free, vegan, onion or allium free, and are on specialty diets (keto, etc.) However - our menu changes frequently and we may have different availabilities month to month. 

We are unable to charge different cards by item however we are able to separate checks evenly between a maximum of 4 cards. 

We are occasionally able to host large parties. To book a party of 7 or more guests please email us at hello@presdespres.com or call (540)717-3355. We have a $1,000 deposit requirement for use of the lounge area as a private party - regardless of your party's size. 

We are also available close the restaurant for special events for a minimum fee of $3,000 (with additional tax and gratuity) contact us at least 2 month in advance to book and/or develop a catered menu. 

You will not be able to change tables upon arrival as the dining room layout is engineered each night to provide for a smooth service. You are welcome to request a certain table or area of the restaurant ahead of time by calling us or asking in your reservation.

We love hosting young, adventurous eaters in the dining room! However, we do not recommend our 3 course menu for any picky eaters. The bar has some more 'kid friendly' options and the chef may also be able to prepare different, off-menu bar items when given prior notice and given that the restaurant is not too busy. 

Guests usually stick to an business casual attire

Yes. Our 3 course menu experience is reservation only.

Walk in’s are welcome at the bar where we serve a casual French bar food menu.
