    We had the BEST dining experience at Ken’s on Western! When I made our reservation through Open Table, I asked for a cozy booth for two, as my husband John and I were celebrating an early Valentine’s Day. My request was honored precisely as I had hoped, and we were met immediately by our beautiful and friendly server, Maggie, who wasted no time in procuring me the perfect martini! We both ordered the filet mignon, and they were cooked exactly to order. Sides included chive mashed potatoes and fresh tossed salad and homemade chicken noodle soup. Delicious! Maggie checked in on us multiple times during our meal, replenishing drinks, and then offering dessert and coffee. The turtle cheesecake was outstanding! We had the best(early)Valentine’s date, made extra special by excellent service!
