    The food was very good. We were a party of four and we all enjoyed our meals. The bread they serve is so good, it is more of a sweet dinner roll that is served warm. We started with the firecracker shrimp and the calamari for appetizers which were very good. Then I had the grilled Mahi Mahi sandwich which was very tasty, 2 others in my party had the steak and fries which they both said it was one of the best steaks they’ve had. The last entree was the grilled salmon which was also very good. The service was excellent, the place is extremely busy but that definitely doesn’t affect the quality of service and food. Our reservation was for 8:15 pm but didn’t get seated until 30 plus minutes after our reservation time. This was a minor thing and it was well worth the wait!

    This was our first time dining at Kres Chophouse. While costly it was well worth the price. The food was delicious and the service was impeccable. Environment was sleek and cozy. It’s a great option for a mid size group or an intimate night for two. Would definitely come back.

    Dinner and wine last night at CH Waterford Lakes and I don’t ever have an experience that I don’t enjoy because they treat me like family. I am a wine club member and the staff there definitely take the time to know you. Last night, Manager Trisha took time out of a very busy night to go above and beyond to visit our table, have conversation and to make sure we were taken care of. Sophia, who is the server I always request was also managing the restaurant last night. This young lady made a point to consistently check on our table to ensure we were taken care of. She is one of the BEST servers/ manager in training I’ve ever had at CH. She is very personable, accommodating and quick! It is apparent that these ladies know how to provide excellent customer service and hospitality. I am nobody important in the grand scheme of things but these ladies and other staff sure make me feel like I’m a VIP!! Thank you Trisha and Sophia, you take customer service to a different level!!

    The service was perfect. We were greeted and seated right away our server was friendly and knowledgeable, offered wonderful guidance on menu options. Our cocktails were done just right and for hotel prices, pretty reasonable. I can definitely understand the Michelin recommendation for PRIMO. The quality was excellent. There are a lot of kids in the restaurant and it is bright and louder than I was hoping for, so keep that in mind. If you are looking for an intimate dinner, this probably isn’t the spot. We absolutely loved everything else about this place and we will return!

    Very popular and busy restaurant, we made reservations ahead of the time, but the check in was still a bit messy. Service was great, she was very helpful and on task. There were 3 of us and we ordered a sushi platter, Pekin Duck for 2, and appetizers including ribs and shishito peppers. The sushi was OK, but the duck and ribs were amazing. The duck was perfectly toasted with crispy skin and very tender meat. The menu and taste is more tailored to American taste. Definitely highly recommend and make sure make reservations ahead of the time. They also have a casual Street Food stall outside, very interesting concept for quick bites.
