    We eat at Kres during the broadway show season at Doctor Phillips and they never disappoint. We shared a bucatini pasta in white parmesan sauce with spinach, bay scallops, and filet mignon. It was amazing. We also had the spinach salad with warm bacon dressing, beautiful tomatoes with fried onion crisps and a mild cheese crumbled on top. Service is always top notch. Drinks were great.
