    Service is excellent and attentive, as always…a true highlight for Ken Stewart’s restaurants. Entree was very good, but value and pricing isn’t as comparable to other similar restaurants in area and NE Ohio (I.e., Fleming, Hyde Park, Capital Grille, etc). Because of their pricing, it’s something I consider going to other high end restaurants in the area.

    Made reservation online and didn't particularly like table we were given so it took away from experience, but other than that it was very good. Service and food were top notch so no complaints there. Menu is a bit pricey but good experience.

    Ken Stewart's Grille is an excellent restaurant in every way. The food is delicious. The service is professional and friendly. The atmosphere is quiet and beautifully decorated. They have a very long list of fresh specials to choose from daily. This restaurant is a "must go to" if you are in the Akron area.

    We celebrated our anniversary at Ken Stewart’s Grill for the first time and fell in love with it. We loved the table side Cesar salad, steaks and fabulous dessert that came to our table with a sparkling sparkler! We plan to go back every year and would highly recommend!

    I feel bad for rating it a 3 the food and service was exceptional. At first the service was questionable but then I noticed she got like triple sat. We had the lobster deviled eggs, shrimp cocktail (very large), 10oz bacon wrapped crab crusted fillet, and a seafood platter lobster tail 2 scallops and a crab cake. Total cost and there was no alcohol was 275 not including tip! So here is where the rating comes into play they bring the salads and there was a BUG in the salad.. (this was pointed out to food runner and immediately taken from table) They did bring another salad after about a 5 minute wait. About 1/2 thru the entrees the manager came and asked how dinner was I was hesitant to say anything. I decided too his comment even though he was joking was at least you know your salad was fresh. I know it is a fancy restaurant I didn’t expect them to comp a dinner but offering a free desert or maybe even taking one of the apps off the bill would have been acceptable I don’t think I would have been asking too much for that to be done. Don’t let my little table guest deter you from coming here it is well worth the money I have been here before and I will be coming back!

    I am a frequent visitor to Ken's and I don't know what has changed but the last 2 times I've been there (each within the last month), the atmosphere has been horrible. The music was so disturbing, it consumed our conversation. First it sounded like a spa, then there were animal noises and after some random techno music. Rise and repeat. It went on for the entirety of our visit. We asked what was happening and even the server acknowledged that it was odd. Other guests complained and asked for the music to be changed but it never was. People at the bar were completely wasted, loud and obnoxious but no one acknowledged it. I stood in the lobby for almost 15 minutes waiting for our table to be cleaned. I had to ask three times for an update and had I not asked if it was ready, I might still be standing in the lobby. 2 hostesses and 1 what I would assume was a manager all just stood there with a lobby full of people. How are you not prepared for reservations??? The word used many times during our visit was "embarrassing." If the interior of the restaurant is a disaster, why enforce a dress code? Get your standards in line across the board - food, atmosphere, management, guest experience. There used to be a female manager who ran the restaurant, the place has gone completely downhill since she left. The quality of food is not worth the horrible atmosphere - no wonder the place was empty.

    First visit for me but my friend had been there years ago. Cole our server was excellent. I am not familiar with char on my steak and thought it diminished the overall great filet. The lobster Mac and cheese was a disappointment but that was personal taste. Having said that, the overall dining experience was fine.

    Old school but in a good way. Service in terms of the people/attentiveness was very good, but dinner did take ~30-45 min too long with most of the extra time between ordering and the first dish coming out. So perhaps a kitchen staffing issue? The number of specials was daunting (hard to keep track of), but impressive. Food was very well prepared and all 4 were very happy with choices. Generous portions.

    Always fabulous, our server was superb! My only negative, if you have a dress code, although hard to do , enforce it! We sat next to a couple that looked like they walked off the beach !!!! We have a family member with gluten issues, your incredible “specials” menu is so lengthy, very appealing, but not in print to know what’s gluten, what’s not. That would be asking too much of the server. Again, lovely evening

    My wife and I go to Ken Stewart's always to celebrate our anniversary. Always has been outstanding. This time around a couple of small items were annoying. We had to ask for bread and when we asked the waitress seemed annoyed. Brought us a plate with a napkin over it and asked what slice we would like. Huh? It was like they were rationing bread. Salad greens came, requested specific dressing and it came dry. When I asked the waitress about it again she seemed annoyed and insisted it had what I ordered. I ignored it and moved on not worth an argument but when spending upwards of $250 on a dinner having to ask for bread and a question over the salad shouldnt be an issue. The rest of the food was excellent ! Atmosphere was great.

    Excellent as always! Service, food and ambiance were all great! You can always count on a wonderful night out here. We were celebrating our son’s birthday and the dessert with a candle was a nice touch (and nice that they remembered the birthday from our reservation, with no reminder). Great to see restaurants like this with a dress code that they aren’t hesitant to post. Highly recommend!

    Ken Stewart’s Grille never disappoints! Everything was delicious from the fried pickles to the key lime pie. We ordered a lunch entree Caesar salad and it was enough for all 7 of us to have some. The portions were generous and everyone took home leftovers. As always the burgers are the best!
