    Sirloin sliders are always perfect. My wife had the crab cake Benedict which wax delicious- the egg could not have been better and the crab cake is one of the best she has ever tasted. The girls had scrambled eggs with a hearty portion of bacon and homefries. I had the chorizo egg tacos- chorizo was delicious and the avocado was fresh. The egg had to be deconstructed a bit since it was 2 big clumps per taco. Breakfast comes with rolls with cinnamon glaze... eat them quickly since they do not taste as amazing if you save them for dessert.

    Haven’t been to Bacan in a number of months…still great! Energetic but our evening was nicely paced. Courtney has taken care of us every time we have dined at Bacan and she is awesome. Jay is usually with her and is just as great. They make recommendations and are always spot on! A new member of the team is Landon, part of the leadership team. We know him from his former restaurant in Winter Park and it was good to reconnect with someone who has good customer experience as rule one. The food is so good! A new item is the Serrano ham and cheese croquettes. Wow!! Our second course was the delicious lobster tostada, a favorite. We shared the reimagined pork belly which was very good. The banana flambé finished our evening. Was good to be back. Had a great experience and look forward to our next dining visit.

    It was a great restaurant experience the red snapper I had was very very, very fresh sides were perfect the green beans with almonds were fantastic. The double cup espresso was great but they should get raw sugar instead of the processed sugars for artificial sweeteners. The first time I had dessert. The black forest cheesecake was to die for couldn't even finish it. It was so good can't wait till next year when I come back.

    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.
