    This is the first time we dined at Ken’s on a Saturday evening. We had an out of town guest. We had reservations for six. Which turned out that only 4 of us were able to dine together that evening. Our table was at the very back of the restaurant with the table so close to the wall that if six of us were there it was no way two people would have been able to sit next to the back wall. My seat was next to a small garbage can. After a bit I asked if there were another table we could sit at. They were kind enough to send a wonderful young man over to break our table down to one for four people. With the table broken down I wasn’t right next to the garbage can and our friend’s head wasn’t close to the wall jukebox. The food was good as always.

    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.
