by Jenn C. on IT's just too bad the staff does not understand good service; I mean good, not great and not extraordinary. Been there 3 times; the first was when it first opened, at least we were served. The 2nd time, we waited so long for our drink order, we left, telling the owner, 'we can see you're very busy, we're just going to leave'. Came back a 3rd time, and we got to seat ourselves and then find our own menus. If you like to sit and drink for hours, this is your place. If you like great food with service that feels like they CARE, don't do it. It's artsy, but not worth the trouble.
by Dirk Yorker on I had never been to Kress and I was invited to go for a friend's birthday party. We get there pretty early to look for street parking but find none. So, we park in one of the lots. I mistakenly pull into the valet lot which is right behind Kress and come to find out it's $20. No big deal since my friend and I split the cost and it was nice to know my car was right outside. First of all, there are like 4 different entrances/lines located at the back of the building. I asked one of the bouncers which is the guest list line and he in turn asks which guest list was I on. So, I text my friend and find out which list and the bouncer asks, well, which floor is that for? Who knew it was so complicated to get into a club? I finally find out that we're on the rooftop and he tells me to go talk to the guy in the hat. "The guy in the grey hat or the white hat?" I ask. He says "Yeah." Lol, never mind, so I go to talk to the guy in the grey hat and ask where the entrance is. Instead of letting me know directly, he announces it out to the crowd, "4th floor, rooftop entrance is at the front of the building!" Wtf? Really? So there I go in my 4 inch stilettos, pissed at the Kress' poor event coordination. We walked around the block and come to find out there are two lines out in front. I ask another bouncer, which is the correct line for the guest list, 4th floor rooftop and he says he doesn't know and that I need to go talk to one of the promoters in front. Fine, so I go and ask the half drunk promoters and no one knows. Finally the birthday girl comes along and I'm finally able to find my way inside. It turns out her promoter was late. A shout out to Kress for making us high-heeled girls walk up four flights of stairs in short skirts! I don't even think those stairs are slip resistant so on my trek up I'm praying I that don't slip, trip and fall flat on my face. Once inside, the drinks are overpriced (like at most clubs). They don't carry Ketel One Vodka (lame), the bartenders serve the same priced drinks in different sized glasses (double lame) and of course, the drinks are weak. Music was ok. The Emcee was sorta annoying. He looked like a little cricket jumping around all over the place with a poor attempt at a blowout on top of his head. At the end of the nite, thankfully, I didn't slip walking down the stairs even though I had to dodge tons of drunks walking up the stairs. Keep to one side! The best part was that we exited right into the back parking lot where we had been in the first place. Why couldn't I enter through there again? Would I go again? No Do I recommend this place? No Am I over the club scene? Meh, just a little.
