My wife and I along with Our good friend had an amazing dinner last night at Kres. We all had different meals that included Elk, Pork Chop and a Porterhouse along with side, which were all excellent. Our server Brandon was spot on and we exchanged a few good stories, which added to our great dinner experience. He even told us about Happy Hour, so we’ll definitely try it out too. Kres has always been our go to place for a great meal and experience.

Good food, close to the KIA center. I would have preferred a real plate instead of a piece of slate for a plate. Pimento burger was good but way messy.
