Kres Chophouse

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!

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.

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.
