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.

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!
