Ken Stewart’s Grille is always a favorite of mine for years. From the time you walk through the door, the staff greets you and immediately attends to you. The food is delicious and exactly as ordered. The servers work hard to accommodate and ensure everyone at the table is served timely and together. The bartenders are the best in town and friendly!

Took 8 year old granddaughter for a Christmas date. Staff was kind and informative about menu. Food was delicious with huge portions. We got fried cheese raviolis, chicken parm and veal parm. Wedge salad was also excellent. Looking forward to going back soon.

As always, good experience. It's too bad they're closing the end of December. A little understaffed and service was a little slow but everything was really good.
