    NY strip (Pittsburgh style - recommended)
    Karin S.

    The ambience at this restaurant is date night, certified and special occasions, like birthdays and anniversary. My boyfriend took me here for my birthday and all the recommendations by the server were top-notch. We started off with the carpaccio (not pictured) which lead to our delicious main course, which was the New York strip steak perfectly done Pittsburgh style, and the shrimp and bacon mac & cheese. I highly recommend this restaurant for a special occasion or even a quick drink at the bar with some appetizers. You can't go wrong.

    Celebrating a milestone anniversary here with my Mr. made quite the impression. It was his pick. Clearly he has good taste. Further evidence, his choice of spouse. Anyhoo.... stepping into the place sets the mood for romance. It has a sexiness to it, with red tones, retro vibes, and ambiance lighting. Lately I'm really appreciating the historical value of venues, and this building definitely has it. Originally constructed in the 30s as a five-and-dime retailer, the current upscale dining is a departure from those earlier days, yet respectful of the nostalgic aura. Honestly I wasn't wowed by the service. Not lacking in meeting needs, yet also not a standout in the experience for me. The food, however, was stellar. My Filet Wellington was indulgently tender and all our sides were delicious. Even as leftovers, it still hit almost the same. No stringent dress code here. People in t-shirts, maybe just from the theme parks. Not so upscale in that regard.

    I would give Kres Chophouse more than five stars if I could. We chose this spot for a last-minute dinner, and it ended up being one of the best meals I've had in Orlando. We sat at the bar and were taken care of by Heidi, who was incredibly sweet and gave great recommendations. We ordered a variety of dishes and drinks to try, and everything exceeded our expectations. The dim lighting creates such an intimate setting, which made the whole experience feel even more special. I've already recommended this place to my girlfriends, and I'm already looking forward to my next visit!

    Beautiful setup!

    Kres did not disappoint! Believe the hype. Beautiful bar, great drinks, red velvet booths! Bob was on point and his service was top tier! Food was amazing and love the changing menu! We will def be back

    Filet shrimp carbonara

    My husband planned a date night and set up a reservation for Kres Chophouse. When you walk in it's dark and romantic with a single light and fresh flower on each table. Our server was very polite and attentive. He also was very helpful when looking at the menu, since it was our first time dining. We ordered the Calamari for an appetizer, my husband ordered the 16oz Ribeye, and I ordered the Filets with Shrimp and Carbonara, and a Bread a Pudding for dessert. The calamari was so tender, fresh, and seasoned really well. My husband's ribeye was cooked to perfection and was so soft a butter knife could cut through it. My filet and shrimp tasted amazing. The carbonara had fresh veggies and the egg yolk mixed into the pasta make it into a silky sauce. The steak was the best steak I've had in Orlando in a very long time. We also ordered a side of Mac and Cheese with Shrimp. This Mac and cheese was so good I could've just ate a bowl of that for dinner and been happy. To finish our meal we had bread pudding and it was the perfect ending to the meal. The hospitality and quality of food was next level and I'm shocked more people aren't talking about Kres. I will definitely be back in the near future.

    Amazing anniversary dinner! The service is fantastic, and we loved our food. The interior is dark and has classic steakhouse vibes. You wouldn't expect to find vegan dishes at a steakhouse, but Kres has a whole vegan menu with tons of options. I started off with the Pear Martini, which was very refreshing and not too sweet. I ordered off the Kres Vegan prix fixe menu, which gives you an appetizer, entree, and dessert for $49. I thought it was well worth the money! The Chickpea & Artichoke "Crab" Cake was very good and crispy. It was served with some pickled vegetables that paired very nicely. The Vegan "Beef" Wellington was a stunning dish, unlike anything I have tried before. The flavor was amazing, and the vegan beef had a spot-on meat texture. I also loved the sweet potato mash. The churro waffle was crispy and covered with cinnamon sugar. The vegan ice cream was amazing and went perfectly with the warm waffle. My husband ordered the Filet with a side of Parmesan Mashed Potatoes. He loved his steak, and we both thought the potatoes were delicious and smooth. We also shared the creme brulee, which had a great crust on top. This dinner was pricey but very worth it. The service was amazing from start to finish, and we both left so full.

    Omg. This place knows how to make Vegan food. Let me start by saying, I'm not vegan. My son is vegan and he invited me to this amazing steakhouse for mother's day. He heard from coworkers that they had a full vegan menu. Guys, everything was so good! I got the pork chop and pork belly but everything else, the appetizer and dessert was vegan. The sourdough bread was so good and the vegan butter was amazing. We started with "oysters" Rockefeller (oyster mushrooms, vegan parm and some other yummy stuff on an artichoke "shell") as our appetizer. My son got the vegan "beef" wellington and he said it was really really good. The dessert was a churro waffle with vegan housemade ice cream that was to die for. Unfotunately i forgot to take a pic of it. Definitely need to come back. Our server Robert was amazing and kind!

    Listen... when your husband picks the spot for your 21st wedding anniversary and actually gets it RIGHT... yeah, I had to give him his props From the moment we walked into Kres Chophouse, the tone was set. The hostesses were polite, welcoming, and attentive... one even gave us a heads up to watch our step on the way to the table. Small detail, big impression. Now let's talk about Justin, our waiter... baby, when I say top-tier service, I mean that. He had that effortless vibe like "I'd grab drinks with him" energy, but still kept it professional. He wasn't hovering, wasn't missing... just right there when needed. You could tell he treats every table with care because other guests were low-key watching how he handled us... and we all had that silent "yeah, he's good" moment. IYKYK. What really stood out though... the teamwork. We watched the staff reset and prepare for another party, and it was like a well-oiled machine. No chaos, no confusion... just smooth coordination. Even the manager made rounds, spoke to guests, and personally brought out our calamari appetizer. That kind of presence matters. Now the food... whew. The calamari? Seasoned ALL the way through... not just a little sprinkle on the outside. You could taste it in the meat... and that's how it's supposed to be done. My husband ordered the pork chop... which threw me off because we don't even eat pork like that. But listen... he trusted the reviews and took a chance... and it paid off. Tender, juicy, seasoned right... every bite. And then... we did what we always do... turned a table for two into a whole situation Ribeye... shrimp & bacon mac... au gratin potatoes... Brussels sprouts (because yes, we always getting Brussels )... We are real deal food people... not just eating, but tasting. Flavor profiles, seasoning, texture... all of it. I grew up in the kitchen with my grandmother, so trust... I know what I'm talking about. And Kres? They delivered. Bottom line... the service was impeccable, the food matched the energy, and the overall experience felt intentional... not rushed, not forced... just right. We came to celebrate love... and left full, and impressed.

    Excellent service !!!!

    What a delightful place to visit! I wanted to show my cousin the upmost appreciation and asked her where she'd like to have dinner. She's vegan and had been here before. The atmosphere is amazing! Not too loud to have great conversations and enjoy each other's company. As for the food... I wanted to try the vegan menu and it did not disappoint! I had the pear toast - oh my! So light and delicious! Went with the ricotta & spinach stuffed shells - yummy! And the "brookie" for dessert. My cousin had her "usual": Portobello vegan escargot, vegan beef Wellington, and churro waffle. The service was outstanding! A+ I most definitely want to come back with my husband!

    Once again, Kres did not disappoint. I know I don't need to make reviews each time I go, but I just had to make this one. I went, for my birthday, on 03/22 and my family members got stuck behind an accident, on the way to dinner. Instead of making us wait, we were seated and the great time began. We couldn't sit together, but we were near each other. I ordered the krab cake, chik'n, and the waffle cone from the vegan menu, it was so good (I appreciate their vegan menu). My non-vegan family members enjoyed their meals as well. The team was amazing and accommodating, as we had a little too much fun. I appreciate them being flexible. Friendly folks greet you when you walk in. Valet is across the street. The cost is reasonable for the quality of the food. The atmosphere was great, cozy. The bathroom was clean, as usual. Overall, Kres is a great place to dine for any occasion. Even if you're just hungry and want to vibe while you dine, Kres could be your place. The drinks are, typically, very delicious and you can taste what needs to be tasted (wink). Unfortunately, my Flower drink wasn't as tasty as it usually is. I didn't send it back because I drank it anyway . I figured they were in a rush or something, it's a one-off. Ultimately, I know my drink will be right the next time I go back.

    We celebrated my birthday at Kres and had a truly phenomenal experience. The service was ON POINT and the food was so dang good. It's a big space but make sure you have a reservation. We were seated about 10 minutes after our reservation - but to be fair, my birthday is the day before Valentine's Day. Make sure you give yourself time to park, street parking is limited. Service was an A+. We had plenty of table touches, great cocktails, appropriately hot/cold food, you can name it. They gave us a fun birthday dessert that was INSANELY GOOD. Everything was fresh and delicious and I'm honestly ready to come back again.

    Wow Best seat in the house next to the window. The food was cooked to PERFECTION. I had the best oysters of my life and the peach martini had a STRONG taste but the peach was just enough. Our server was fantastic and each item we ate is making us want to come back right away. I ordered the NY Strip with Shrimp and my husband had the Wagyu. The steak was absolutely delicious and cooked so well. We will be adding this into our rotation.

    Kres Chophouse delivered one of the best dining experiences we've had in downtown Orlando. The location itself is beautiful, and from the moment we walked in, the service was impeccable. Our server, Eric, was outstanding--attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful in guiding us toward great choices on the menu. We started with the lobster bisque, which was absolutely amazing, rich, flavorful, and the perfect way to begin the meal. I ordered the ribeye with the shrimp oscar, and it was hands down the best steak I've had in years. Perfectly cooked and incredibly satisfying. My wife chose the spinalis steak, and it was nothing short of perfection. Every bite exceeded expectations. We'll definitely be back.

    How loud is the dining room? For a fine dining experience, while I don't expect library quiet, I don't want my family and I to have to raise our voices to each other to be heard, due to music playing that is too loud.

    There isn't loud music playing here. On busy nights in can get a little noisy, but I've never had difficulty talking at normal conversations level.

    Do they have a seafood tower? Price?

    Yes they do have a seafood tower

    Is Reservation required?

    No. But recommended for Friday Saturday. Bar seating available if restaurant is full.

    Is there a happy hour?

    Yes !! They have a great bar area Always call the Restaurant

    Is the vegan menu only offered Saturdays? Or can I get vegan options throughout the week?

    You can get the vegan menu any day of the week, however Saturday's have extra items to choose from, chef specials.

    Is the Vegan menu only available on Saturday? Is it available weekdays during lunch?

    I'm sure you can. However I've only been during work hours and haven't seen any kids

    Are you currently able to accommodate a party of 12-15?

    Did you ever find out?

    The dress code online says "no tank tops" would a dress with tank top like sleeves be alright?

    Yes. I wore a dress with spaghetti straps and flip flops. As long as you're in good taste, you'll be fine

    Is the Vegan Menu available all the time?

    Yes. We have the vegan menu every day. Let the Hostess know and we will seat you with the appropriate menu!

    Has any one tried the beef Wellington?

    I would get it every time! It was amazing. It was quite a while ago and I wouldn't get it past medium.

    Noir Bar is definitely one of my top BARS to visit on my short list of bars I enjoy immensely. I've…read morebeen coming since it opened, and I really cannot say I've been disappointed. The ambiance and feel of the bar is very "sultry" and "intimate." The mood lighting, dark paneling/interiors paired with the bar itself being lit to be the center of attention, lends itself to the secretiveness and LURE that a modernized speakeasy would provide. I truly enjoy stepping foot into this little hidden, but NOT so hidden, gem (which can be accessed from the interior to Talay). Service can be slow at times - especially when they are busy. However, the staff is usually always gracious, helpful, and willing to serve. The few great mixologists I've met there have also been very willing to break down how they make their drinks and really give us a glimpse into their world. So, I'm appreciative of that. That is not something that you can always expect at bars. As for the drinks (and food I'll glaze over), I am usually not left disappointed. I appreciate that seasonally they play with their drink menu and introduce new cocktails. I also love a handful of their signature drinks on the menu. This may be the only bar I've had a drink with Aperol in it that I actually ENJOYED (and not tolerated). The pricing can get high depending on what you order, but for the area and the going rate of a night out, they hold their own. Definitely don't pop into Noir if you are looking for an AFFORDABLE cocktail experience because the tab will creep up on you. The food is OKAY. They share a kitchen with Talay and offer some items not on the Talay menu - which is nice. However, I rarely eat when I visit, so the few times I have, it's been okay. Nothing to truly brag home about. I am happy, though, that they did start offering food because in the very beginning (when they first opened), that was not an option. Anyways, Noir Bar is GREAT (to me)! I will keep coming here and recommending it to others. It's also great for a date night or night out with your friends. It's in a decent location - but please take heed of parking in this area, as it can be challenging to find FREE street parking. However, there is parking available all around and in various garages nearby.

Real good vibes. Orlando obviously has no shortage of places to eat, drink, and gather, but Alfie's belongs to that rare category of venues that feel equally at home in a major metropolis. It's the kind of spot that would fit seamlessly into Los Angeles's best neighborhoods: think Gold Line in Highland Park or the Vinyl Room at the Hollywood Palladium. Not because they're carbon copies, but because they share that intangible quality of genuine discovery and cultural curiosity. The crowd ( age range 25 - 35 mostly ) was genuinely engaged with one another. People were actually talking, actually present, not hunched over their phones. That alone felt invigorating. There was an undeniable spark in the room. Alfie's wasn't chasing trends; it was simply allowing them to emerge naturally. What impressed me most was how they brought it all together .. Retro stereo equipment and vinyl players from the 50s mixed with a bar area that's super sleek and modern. Conversations, music, the lounge itself .... all came together in a way that felt alive and IN THE MOMENT. When my LA friends visit, Alfie's is on the list.

However, we initially entered to get a picture in the photobooth for our friends birthday. There was no one at the door checking IDs. After we all piled into the photobooth, someone walked up and asked for our IDs. He wanted us to exit the booth to get them. Eventually said ok because we had already paid and on a timer. But he was very impatient. Let me add that there was not a single person in the entire place. NO ONE. Let me also add that almost our entire group is almost 40. So we're obv not underage. With the way he approached us and was completely impatient, we were a little turned off and left. Which lost them money on our entire group. He followed us out the door as we left. It was a weird experience especially when there was literally no one else in there. The music was good but I doubt and of us will to back based on that experience alone.

I was starving but thankfully the waiter was knowledgeable and told me that ordering the Vaca Frita as an appetizer is more than enough. (I'd say for 1 person but that's just me being big back. Also my friend was there just for the drinks and plantain chips). It's hard to not compare it to the authentic dish I had back in Miami. But I did enjoy their take on it. Wish the meat had more flavor, and was crispier and the whole chunks of garlic.. should have just been diced. We each got one more drink, and not going to lie the drink menu is unique. So shoutout to our waiter again. He asked what liquors/drinks I usually lean towards and suggested Leaf at Dawn. I have no photo but omg it was delightful

We ordered several dishes to share, including the vodka pasta, creamy mushroom pasta, ribs, duck, broccolini, and fried rice. Everything was well prepared, and the pastas were definitely standouts. The duck was a little salty for my taste, but overall the meal was excellent. The cocktails were just as impressive, and the bartender did a great job making recommendations and keeping everyone taken care of throughout the night. I also like that it becomes 21+ after 9 p.m. It gives the restaurant a different energy later in the evening without losing the upscale feel. If you're looking for a place for date night, dinner with friends, or drinks after work, The Moderne is definitely worth checking out.

The food was excellent across the board. We ordered the vodka pasta, creamy mushroom pasta, ribs, duck, broccolini, fried rice, and a variety of other dishes, and everything was flavorful and beautifully prepared. The only item that missed the mark slightly for me was the duck, which was a little on the salty side, but everything else was outstanding. The cocktails were perfectly crafted, and the bartender was attentive, friendly, and made the experience even more enjoyable. Between the ambiance, great food, and exceptional drinks, The Moderne is definitely a spot I'll be returning to.

    So glad I finally got around to coming here. The downside is that it is north past downtown…read moreOrlando. I had to drive through Chinatown to get here. I'm glad I did though. When I first arrived right at 4pm, I thought maybe it was closed as only my car was in the parking lot. I went in the side door which apparently is not the main entrance, but there were a few people inside. My bartender Emily was awesome and super friendly. There are TV's on both sides of the bar and at the entrance of the restaurant. I was able to indulge in World Cup soccer. Happy Hour is from 4pm-6pm Monday - Friday. Quite a few items are marked down to $10 as are some of the cocktails. I started with a $10 Lamp Martini (Dirty Gin Martini). I liked it although, it was super mini. I can see why it was "only" $10. I'd prefer a regular sized glass. I can't believe they charge $1 for blue cheese olives. The bartender recommended the Caesar Salad and told me it was one of the best items on the menu. Super duper different. I've never had a Caesar salad like this one. It's like little sandwich bites of salad. I really liked it. These things lived up to the bartender hype. Then, I tried the $10 Deviled Eggs. They were pretty standard. Then, I had the $10 Chili Bomb Hummus. I love a really good hummus and this one was that. Up next, "The Best Espresso Martini in Orlando," Whoops, actually it wasn't this time the bartender lied to me. Wine Bar George still holds that title. I wish the espresso was brewed at the bar, but she told me it was from some place down the street. Lastly, I had the $14 Charred Cauliflower. I liked this thing too. I wish they made a spicy version. A huge space inside. A cool entrance to the bathrooms. Quite a few TV's to watch sports. A bit off the beaten path. A solid bar to have some drinks, watch sports, and get some bites.

    We arrived while they were broadcasting the World Cup match, and it was honestly a terrible…read moreexperience. This is not a sports bar, and I specifically chose it for a date because I expected a more relaxed atmosphere. Once the match ended, things improved and we could finally talk, but the place is still very loud overall. The cocktails were pretty basic, especially for $16 each. They weren't bad, but they lacked any creativity or presentation to justify the price. We sat at the bar, and I have to say the service was good. One more downside: there's no self-parking, only valet. It's $5, which isn't terrible, but it's still an inconvenience. Overall, the atmosphere felt too chaotic for what I was expecting, and I wouldn't come back.
