Kres Chophouse

Cool enclave amidst a totally dead formerly vibrant church street with pretty good food. So Church street/downtown Orlando is continuing to die, and own this sketch unsafe vibe to it. We did valet parking, which made a small improvement since we didn’t need to walk much through the streets. We had a business dinner here, and I will say that upon entering two things struck us, first it was cooler looking than expected inside, and two the front desk staff basically ignored us for about a solid 5 minutes which was a huge turnoff for a “nicer steakhouse”. Once we were seated the wait staff were wonderful and attentive. The collard greens and Mac and cheese were awesome initial treats, and they did have great wine selection. We did love the black grouper as well. The ribeye was nice, and perfectly cooked. Presentation was fine. I would say in total, there are definitely much better steakhouses in the Orlando region if you are looking for a fine steakhouse dining option, but if you prefer something downtown and don’t want to travel far from downtown, then this place would likely satisfy you.

We really enjoyed our dinner here! We've lived in Orlando for years and have been meaning to try it out, and everything was really good and service was excellent. The decor is really simple, stylish, and dark in a way that feels elevated but not pretentious or gloomy; it's like a sleeker old Hollywood style. It's a steakhouse so it's not going to be inexpensive, but I thought everything was reasonably priced for the quality and service; we spent ~$250 and that included an appetizer, salad, a 16 oz ribeye and a 12 oz filet, two sides, dessert, drinks, and tip. We'll definitely be back!

We were in town for the Pro Bowl and wanted a nice dinner afterward . Kres did not disappoint. Highly recommend. Easily walkable from our downtown hotel. Service was top notch.

The steak was great. Chicken piccatta was excellent. The service was outstanding. If you're a local in Orlando or are in town visiting, this is a place. It's pricey, so keep in mind that. But the area around is nice and the atmosphere is excellent. Definitely recommend. Right in the heart of downtown.

We had a great experience at Kres during our brief trip to town. My filet was cooked to perfection, the apps were amazing as well as the sides. Yummy cocktails. Our server Michelle was super attentive, kind and gave us a great experience. I’d highly recommend.

Went to Kres for dinner on a Thursday night. I ordered the Porterhouse Lamb Loins, Truffel Fries, Four Cheese Au Gratin, and Key Lime Pie Cocktail. The food was delicious! The cost was worth the experience for me. Also, the cocktail was just enough alcohol and not too sweet. I would definitely order it again! Overall, it was a great experience. I saw after I ordered that they had an extensive vegan menu on the back. I will have to try it next time.

Great upscale steakhouse in downtown Orlando!! The restaurant is inside a historic building, which gives it a unique vibe you might expect in Philadelphia or NYC. Food was amazing!! Highly recommend the lobster bisque, NY strip, and the beef Wellington. A great spot for a romantic dinner or for dinner before a show -- even on a Friday or Saturday night, when downtown Orlando is a little rowdy. Definitely recommend!!

A Stellar Dining Experience at Kres Chophouse – Thanks to Nicole! Our recent visit to Kres Chophouse in Orlando was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we walked in, we were treated to an upscale, welcoming atmosphere, and the night only got better thanks to our incredible server, Nicole. She went above and beyond, elevating our experience and making it unforgettable. Nicole’s attention to detail, warmth, and professionalism truly set the tone for a fantastic evening. The drinks were excellent—I enjoyed a well-crafted Old Fashioned. The meal began with the Oysters Rockefeller, which were perfectly prepared and bursting with flavor. I also had the wedge salad, which was crisp, fresh, and absolutely delicious. For our entrées, we chose the Filet Wellington and the New York Strip, both cooked to perfection and melt-in-your-mouth delicious. The sides, Parmesan mashed potatoes and au gratin potatoes, were decadent and paired beautifully with our main dishes. This was our second visit to Kres, and while we loved our first experience, Nicole made this visit even better. Her exceptional service and genuine care for our enjoyment are the reasons we felt compelled to write this review. Nicole, you’re a star—thank you for making our evening truly special. We can’t wait to come back to Kres Chophouse again. Amazing food, incredible drinks, and stellar service—what more could you ask for? Keep up the phenomenal work, Nicole, and thank you for making this an evening to remember!
