   Not a gluten free friendly place and wouldn't change preparations to make them gluten free.

   I was so disappointed at the quality of the food yesterday for dinner. I ordered that shrimp scampi, there are no flavor on the shrimp. My husband has the special strip steak with jameson cream sauce, there was so much grizzle on the steak and my son had the salmon which he had was to raw for him. It was our 36th wedding anniversay and our son's birthday, so it was a big night for us, but unfortunately the dinner was not up to expectations.

   Had the Grouper over shrimp risotto with a lemon cream sauce, best I ever had. Food is always 5 Star!

   No dill in the sauce on the scallops, way to much parmigiana on everything

   Ken’s is usually a pleasant dining experience with good service and excellent food. However, last night, a few minutes after we were seated, a group of six people were seated at the roundtable in the front. We were almost at the rear of the restaurant. These people were so loud that it created an unpleasant experience. They were literally screaming. I did not want to say anything because I was hoping that when they got their food, they would get quiet. They were so loud that I thought the hostess should have said something to them, but I suppose that’s a difficult situation to address. In spite of this, I would return to Ken’s. I have lived in the neighborhood for many years and have gone to ken’s for many years also. The bacon Panko crusted whitefish that I had was excellent.

    Was there for Valentine’s Day. It was a Friday night and they have live music. It was loud. At least it was entertaining, very entertaining. The menu variety is vast, something for everyone. With the cost dining and parking downtown, this was an unexpected treat. Wide cocktail selection as well. Lastly, in the neighborhood, no traffic. Travel time, 10 minutes!
