    This was our first time and we will definitely be back. We arrived early on Valentine's Day and expected that we would start at the bar. Surprisingly we got a table almost immediately. Our waitress Sara was absolutely exceptional and helped with all aspects of our meal. Everything from our cocktails to the tiramisu was so yummy. The calamari was very good. Our salads with the white French dressing was delicious. I had veal parm and my wife had veal Marsala and they were great. Large portions so can't wait for leftovers Just a wonderful experience with a real good bottle of Barolo

    My husband and I have been dining at Ken Stewart’s restaurants for over 30 years. We’ve always dined on Valentine’s Day and a lot of days in between. Our experience tonight for Valentine’s Day at Ken Stewart’s Grille with Kristin as our Server was the best! She was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, and efficient! The food, as always, was outstanding!
