Kreso's Restaurant — Restaurant in Bardstown

My boyfriend and I ate there early this evening & loved the place! The atmosphere was elegant, yet, inviting and not snobbish at all. The service was great, as was the food- which speaks a lot to them as they were preparing for a large (closed restaurant) party. Our server ( I have forgotten her name- but she had a very friendly smile & pretty eyes) was both professional & personable. The crab cakes as the appetizer were cooked to perfection & seasoned so well! He had the Kreso's Chicken, which had layers of flavor to it- highly recommend! I had the Goulash, which every Western European family has their own take on (imagine all the types of chili you can have in the US) this dish with little difference here and there. It was a simple- no vegitables, and delicious dish. The cuts of meat nearly melted in your mouth; and the egg noodles played well with the simplicity of the dish. Their selection of bourbons were on spot! They had everything from high end (a selection of Pappy) to highly commercial brands and many micro-distilled! Exactly as you would want and expect for being in the heart of Bourbon Country!

We wish that we could have saved room for desserts- which they utilize local bakers for- but we...

We used to eat here a lot when we first moved to KY and absolutely love the food. The restaurants family owned and the staff was amaizing.

However, when we moved to Etown we didn't get to Bardstown often to eat there any more. We decided to stop by and grab some food. I am not sure if the management has changed or the kitchen staff but the food was not good at all. The prices also seemed to have skyrocketed.

We ordered 2x schnitzel and 1 stroganoff for $70.00. The stroganoff was chicken in a brown orange sauce on rice. I have never seen stroganoff with rice but tried it anyway. The food was refrigerator cold and it did not have much flavor. The schnitzel was ok but it tasted like it was mass produced and the noodles were over cooked.

We are not very picky eaters and we hate fast food but we ended up having to get fast food after leaving.

I hope this was just a bad night, because the restaurant we used to go to was amaizing and we used to send people to it all the time. However, I probably can't try the food again for the price of the food.

But the inside is still beautiful and a great setting for a...

We were here visiting from out of town and we did not have a good experience at all.

We did not have reservations, so we were going to leave bc it is what it is, we had no idea. But they said they had a table for us. Okay…sounds good to us.

We both ordered Diet Coke (or Diet Pepsi) whatever it was, the carbonation was messed up, okay, that’s fine, we will take waters. So we ordered water and I ordered a glass of wine.

Ordered the crab cakes for an appetizer. It came with no sauce, typically crab cakes always come with sauce but we didn’t say anything and just ate them.

Still no drinks at this time.

We then got bread delivered…still no drinks

Our food then shows up. Still no drinks. I had to ask for my wine and our waters.

We both ordered the Kreso’s Pasta and it had no flavor whatsoever, I was very surprised But we didn’t complain and still ate it.

Our experience was NOT a...
