    My husband and I celebrated our anniversary with an evening reservation. I made a reservation two nights before. We enjoyed the menu variety and selected the fondue and king crab as an appetizer. They were delicious and the service was great. As an entree we ordered the corvina fish, steak, and brussel sprouts. In all we had a tasty meal and the food was timed appropriately. We enjoyed a lovely anniversary dessert as well. The live entertainment was a plus! We would gladly return.

    We eat at Kres during the broadway show season at Doctor Phillips and they never disappoint. We shared a bucatini pasta in white parmesan sauce with spinach, bay scallops, and filet mignon. It was amazing. We also had the spinach salad with warm bacon dressing, beautiful tomatoes with fried onion crisps and a mild cheese crumbled on top. Service is always top notch. Drinks were great.

    This is one of the most dynamic places in Central Florida. I wish I could go more often. The staff is friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. The bartenders are entertaining. The owner(s) walk around and make everyone feel like the are part of the family. Definitely the "who's who" of Orlando. Our own "where everybody knows your name". Beautiful atmosphere and amazing food. Thank you for an enjoyable lunch for my team. We had a party of 7 today and it was perfect.
