TRES will open their doors this fall with a standout menu that blends the robust flavors of the desert southwest, Spain and the Mediterranean. Located in the Discovery Office Park at 7200 South Price Road, TRES’ menu has a fresh and vibrant take on regional favorites and will be open daily for lunch and dinner.
Named for three styles of eating at the restaurant, TRES offers dinners quick bites or full meals during lunch, light bites during happy hour and a varied dinner approach that will appeal to bar patrons, single diners, groups and families.
A highlight inside the restaurant is a large bar that will serve as a community gathering space for a vibrant happy hour scene, craft cocktails and an extensive wine and beer offering.
Executive Chef Steve Zimmerman said, “We are combining traditional and familiar southwestern and Mexican flavors with the light, healthy and popular dishes found in the Mediterranean region. It’s a very unique menu that will appeal to so many of our neighbors’ palates.”
Much of TRES’ menu is created using the wood-burning oven, a focal point of the restaurant.
