About This Place

Located in the heart of downtown Orlando, Kres Chophouse offers an exceptional fine dining steakhouse experience that masterfully blends classic elegance with a modern twist. This upscale restaurant boasts a menu that is as diverse as it is exquisite, designed to satisfy both devoted carnivores and discerning plant-based diners alike.

The centerpiece of the menu is undoubtedly the steak selection — from the perfectly seared NY Strip Au Poivre & Shrimp to the sumptuous Filet Wellington, each dish is crafted with meticulous attention to detail. Steak aficionados rave about the Snake River Wagyu Carpaccio, a tender and luxurious introduction that melts effortlessly on the palate. Not to be overshadowed, the succulent Escargot De Bourgogne and Flash Fried Calamari Vesuvio set the stage with bold, vibrant flavors that awaken the senses.

Complementing the entrees are standout sides such as the addictive Truffle Fries, imbued with fragrant parmesan and earthy truffle oil, and the decadent Three Cheese Au Gratin. Seafood lovers can delight in the rich Lobster Bisque or the artfully prepared Seafood Misto. To finish, indulge in divine desserts like the Dark Chocolate Molten Turtle or the White Chocolate Bread Pudding — a beloved item highlighted by regular patrons for its creamy, luscious texture and perfectly balanced sweetness.

Kres Chophouse also shines in its commitment to inclusivity with a thoughtfully curated vegan menu that elevates plant-based dining to a gourmet level. Starters like the Oyster “Rockefeller” featuring sautéed oyster mushrooms and vegan parmesan, or the Chickpea & Artichoke “Crab Cake” showcase inventive flavors and textures. For entrees, the Vegan “Beef” Wellington and Tofu “Salmon” Filet deliver complex, savory profiles that rival their meat counterparts, while desserts like the Brookie Chocolate Chip Cookie Sundae provide a comforting, indulgent finale.

The dining atmosphere is richly inviting, described by visitors as a sophisticated sanctuary where contemporary, edgy design meets a warm, almost nostalgic ambiance.

    For impeccable service, food cooked to perfection and cocktails crafted just right you'll want to visit Kres Chophouse. The atmosphere is dark and edgy, almost a step back in time but yet modern, the staff is friendly and knowledgeable about their products, exactly the service you want from a fine establishment. The steaks are superb and you will not find better truffle parmesan fries anywhere. For appetizers you cannot go wrong with the shrimp cocktail because it is a classic but if you are a more adventurous person then try the oysters Rockefeller or the filet mignon tartare, you will not be disappointed. Hands down Kres Chophouse is my favorite restaurant in Orlando and I always look forward to my next visit.

It was not only amazing but the service was top-tier the environment was absolutely stunning and the GM Heidi was so generous and kind and very charismatic you have to try the bread pudding it was amazing the lobster.. no words could describe how amazing it was! We will be back!

    I recently experienced the three-course vegan menu at Kres Chophouse, and it truly exceeded all expectations. This is easily one of the best high-end vegan experiences available in Central Florida, whether you're plant-based or not. From the moment we arrived, the wonderful service and cozy atmosphere made the dining experience welcoming and memorable. We started with the Tofu Chimichurri Skewers, which were incredibly flavorful and a vibrant way to begin the meal. Every dish was beautifully plated, showing the care and artistry of the kitchen staff. The small touches made a huge difference: the vegan butter served with the bread was out of this world, rich and perfectly seasoned, and the side of sweet potato mash was phenomenal—easily some of the best I've ever had. The main course, the Vegan Wellington, was a true triumph. I was blown away by how much it tasted like meat; the flavor profile was incredibly rich and savory. While my puff pastry was slightly burned on the bottom, the incredible flavor of the filling and the execution of the dish still made it taste great. I was also impressed by the large portions, leading me to take half of the entree home—great value for the quality. The meal concluded perfectly with the brownie and accompanying salted caramel ice cream and sauce. The house-made ice cream was phenomenal, and the sauce paired with the brownie was equally delicious. This was a five-star finish to a remarkable meal.

    As always, the experience was nothing short of amazing. DC, Kristy, and Mike truly made our night—DC went out of his way to ensure we had a seat, and Kristy was incredibly attentive and genuinely cared about making sure we were well taken care of. We enjoyed the wedge salad, beef Wellington, and lobster bisque, but the real standout of the night was the underrated pork chop—hands down the best dish. From the drinks to the food and everything in between, it was an exceptional evening, and we can’t wait to return.

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Kres Chophouse – Orlando, FL Kres Chophouse is devourable indulgence at its finest. Every dish is crafted with a level of precision and creativity you simply won’t find anywhere else in the city. The Spanish octopus here is a revelation—tender, flavorful, and cooked like nowhere else in Orlando. Their vegan menu? Pure heaven on earth. The hibiscus taco alone is a culinary masterpiece—unlike anything I’ve encountered in any kitchen. And the escargot… hands down the best on earth, rich and buttery with flavors that will linger in your memory long after the last bite. Chef Jen is nothing short of a mad scientist in the best way possible, creating plates that surprise, delight, and satisfy on every level. And Heidi, the front-of-house manager, ensures every guest feels like royalty—her warmth and professionalism set the tone for a truly special evening. Every special occasion is worth spending here, and if you go, I insist you save room for the bread pudding. It’s the perfect finale to an unforgettable dining experience.

    This was an absolutely incredible experience. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with smiles, authenticity, and acknowledgement for our first year anniversary. We got a great table and an even better waiter. Sterling was knowledgeable, kind, and very good at his job. Our drinks were never empty, he didn’t leave us too long but didn’t come back too often either. His recommendations were incredible and we were extremely happy with the service. The food was even more incredible. From the starters to the dessert, each dish was the perfect temperature, seasoned well, and delivered promptly. My wife and I had a great time and this just might be our special occasion spot from here on out. The prices weren’t even too bad either for such high quality food and service. Highly recommend and very glad to have experienced this. Thanks so much!

    A fantastic night (birthdays for my twins who just turned 21 and were having their first legal dinner libation at Kres). What a great vibe inside the restaurant - high end city but extremely cozy. It was really a special night - service from front door to server was great, food was on point - with most of my fam getting the Wellington, while I got the 8oz Filet with wild mushrooms. An excellent calamari starter and a couple of their excellent specialty drinks.. By the way.. the IntoTheWoods old fashion was superb. Neighboring tables even commented how nice it smelled (arrived with a bit of trapped smoke) and along with the bourbon and cinnamon, was one of the best I've had. The icing on the cake was the birthday deserts for my birthday girls - each superb. I've been looking for a great central florida chophouse - and we all agreed, it was better than any we've been to yet. Return visits are a definite.
