If you’ve dined in downtown Orlando, you’ve likely met someone like Stephanie Ernotte: confident, welcoming, and easy to talk to. She’s spent over 20 years in Orlando and started her hospitality career at 16. Her calm, polished presence at the front door sets the mood for the evening from the start.

Although Stephanie is somewhat new to the Kres family, she’s known the family behind it for years. At HUE, she discovered the “magical” side of hospitality, where food, wine, and spirits come together to create something special. She loves that Kres is more than just a steakhouse; it’s an experience shaped by atmosphere, purpose, and a team that works together.

Stephanie is proud to support a chef-driven kitchen led by a woman and to be part of a team where excellence is the standard. Guests notice the difference as soon as they walk in. Next time you visit, say hello at the host stand. Stephanie will handle the rest.

If you’re celebrating something special or just want a night that feels a bit more special, Stephanie is the host who makes everything run smoothly from the start. She helps your evening flow with the right pace, table, and energy. Remember, when you walk through the doors at Kres, your night out truly begins.
