Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in Avalon Park

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.

Everyone at the restaurant was absolutely kind, and very helpful. We celebrated my finance birthday and our experience was great. My fiance wanted shrimp scampi to go with his steak, we spoke Lena and she was able to ask the chef to make it and he did. The waitress was great, her customer service was amazing!!!! We will definitely be back there! Thank you Lena and everyone for making our dinner a great experience!

Last night my wife and I went here for dinner. Our server was Tyana and she was absolutely amazing. The food here is also incredible. If you’re looking for a slightly more expensive date night I couldn’t recommend a better place! Definitely coming back next time we are down here.

Our starter of Harvest corn soup was delicious; the creamed soup was topped with corn relish and a few kernels of popcorn, which added a very different twist to the overall taste. We had scallops with pork belly and zaatar coated cobia, both of which were cooked to perfection. Dessert consisted of chocolate mousse, which was a “dry” version of mousse and a glass of house made limoncello, which unfortunately tasted more like lemon flavored water. We could have done without the mousse or the limoncello. The noise level was high in large part due to a family with children having dinner. The service was excellent! We would definitely return.

A scratch kitchen, but more hit-or-miss than scratch-bliss. Some plates were very good--apps, especially--but other plates were overcooked and uninspired. Nevertheless, CH can claim a very well-priced wine list with decent and mostly mono-varietal house-brand bottles, ranging from predictable and crowd-pleasing to almost ethereal. I enjoyed the service here the most. Our waitress wasn't the most attentive to the table's needs; however, she was kind, extremely well-mannered, and understanding of our whims. And she was young. She was clearly raised with high-caliber, high-character values, and I applaud that. Overall, a lovely atmosphere for a mid-week date night, especially if you're budget-minded but want to test those boundaries just a smidge. But if you're offended by yet another generic "high-end Americana" menu, don't come. Or, alternatively, come for the very appealing front-end "cellar door" experience, taste a host of good wines, enjoy them for what they are, and tempt yourself toward a less insulated sense of culinary arrogance. If you can do that, you'll have yourself a damn fine Wednesday night.
