    Ken Stewart's Restaurant, bar area
    James W.

    The atmosphere and service is wonderful! However, the 10 oysters my wife and I ordered for lunch were just average, and the Caesar salads we ordered were very tasty but the preparation was lacking due to the very large pieces of romaine lettuce presented.

    Well - I looked at the Yelp Reviews and the full parking lot and decided to give it a go. Unfortunately for me - it was pretty much a "no" experience. The atmosphere was nice, the waiter was pleasant, friendly and helpful. The meal was meh. The bread was very good. The salad was fine. Once we got the main course and side dish - things weren't to my liking. The restaurant - so they must be good at several (other?) things or it's just my southern preferences vs. a relatively bland and unexpected preparation of my main dish and side dish. Arguably, we southerners cook and eat differently. But, if you put creamed spinach on the menu - by all means - have some cream in it! My spinach had a nice crusty topping that had some Parmesan on it, but the spinach itself had very little cream (or if it was there - it was a thin, runny and tasteless cream. It was more like hot water spinach with a crusted topping. The illed scallops were hot with good flavor, but the accompanying flavors in the dish didn't do it for me. The risotto was good - but the other flavors didn't compliment the scallops in a way which worked for me. Perhaps it was just my preference - but the parking lot won't be full with the inclusion of my car next trip to Akron. Perhaps the specialty is steak and I should have purchased a filet. Even if I had - my favorite steak pairing of creamed spinach would have probably felt more disastrous to me paired with an excellent filet. It sounds so awful to say this - but you really can't beat the chain of Ruth's Chris. Consistent. Excellent. Outstanding in every way. Over and over again - no matter where I've dined or what my meal choice has been (steak, seafood, etc). This place wasn't for me - but the decor was nice and ambience was clean and comfortable and the waiter was a nice guy. That's why they earned a 3 from me.

    Potato crusted halibut over creamed corn

    Went here for our employee Christmas dinner and everything from the service to the food to the ambiance was top notch. Ken himself came out to speak to us and he is just fantastic! I had the potato crusted halibut over a creamed corn and it was cooked to perfection! Highly recommend! Although I did not have it, several people got the wedge salad and it looked phenomenal, you can sub it for your side salad for an up charge I will be doing this next time!

    Loved the steak with peppercorn sauce. It was very rich in flavor. Service was great. Also had desert. The leopard print carpet was fun.

    Oysters

    Excellent restaurant for an upscale dining experience! The service was amazing. Absolutely loved the lamb chops from Colorado. Delicious! Perfectly prepared! I also highly recommend the Whispering Angels rose wine. It went well with the entree I ordered. When you cone here to eat, be sure to inquire about the specials. My spouse ordered the sea bass and it was delicious too. Perfectly prepared! If you like raw oysters, this is a go to place for them. Table side Caesar is also a must. You need to come here and experience what this restaurant has to offer. It's worth it!

    Kate was an amazing server! She was so so sweet! The food was SO yummy. It was my first time ever at Ken Stewart's, and i definitely will be coming back. The filet with wagyu butter was 10/10. Had a perfect crisp to it and was cooked perfectly. We also got the sacchetti pasta as a side... AMAZING. Highly recommend!

    There is something seriously old school about this location vs the other KS ones. I'm not from Akron, though I've lived here a while now. It's a home grown classic restaurant that hasn't rested on its laurels. Amazing experience - sit in the room with the bar. Watch the people, sip on a nice glass of wine, listen to the conversations at the bar below you. It's timeless. Nowhere I'd rather be having a seasonal lunch between the holidays.

    Delicious Ribeye steak dinner
    Stacey H.

    The ribeye steak dinner was delicious & cooked to perfection. Ordered medium rare, it arrived beautifully charred on the outside & gorgeous pink inside. It was SO juicy that we made a special request for our lovely server to tell the chef thank you. Appetizer: Japanes shrimp- fantastic! Dessert-crème brûlée- again, delicious, too was glass crisp w/ the dessert & fresh fruits being perfect texture. There is really no other restaurant in the area that can compare w/Kens. The personalized experience you get- usu a hello by Ken or Kevin.... Ken Stewart's js hands down the place!!! Thank you, Ken, chefs & everyone on ataff!

It was ice cold and perfectly crafted. We were then sat at a booth where we enjoyed our meal. Two people in the group ordered steaks that were prepared exactly as ordered. I had the salmon grilled, and it was delicious! We also had wines by the glass and another perfectly crafted cocktail (French 75).

Don't get me wrong: the food is fine (in the most mediocre sense). Full disclosure: We don't eat red meat, so I can't comment on their steaks, which is what the place is known for. This is a classic case of tradition masquerading as fine dining. There's no subtly or nuance to the cuisine. The oysters Rockefeller was overly sauced, and the salad was overdressed. My salmon was a bit overcooked, but the baked potato was very good. The dessert, a brownie with ice cream, ate like a Little Debbie squirted with Hershey chocolate sauce. I will say that our server was wonderful and was working very hard. The ambiance, however, was sad. We were seated in the bar area on very uncomfortable wooden benches. Honestly, it felt like a Cracker Barrel. At the bar was an obnoxiously loud man dropping F-bombs and saying homophobic things. He pretty much ruined any enjoyment we had a hope of having. Finally, Diamond Grille doesn't accept credit cards, which we knew, but again, our enjoyment was dampened by having to keep track of how much everything cost so we didn't spend more than the cash we had gotten out of the ATM on our way. The hostess told us they were planting their feet and never taking cards, and I just don't understand why, in the 21st century, a business would alienate customers like this. All in all, this place is resting on its past reputation, and in my opinion, it's unearned.

I tried the ribs that seemed to be reheated and we got the smoked chicken that was pretty good. The grilled potatoes were raw inside and the greens were undercooked and lacked any flavor.

So let's go... Prices are decent for the portion sizes, come on they are huge. Pasta, ribs and chicken dishes are the winners. The side veggie egg rolls not so much. Don't order them if you are expecting $15 egg rolls because that is not what you will get. The bread is fresh and warm, so good! The oil dipping sauce is tasty as well. The service was great, very attentive. The mixed cocktails were excellent. When you think golf course, you have to remember this is Akron and this place is on the edge of a neighborhood. It was nice enough for the enjoyable dinner we had for decent prices. Again the service was on point and the cocktails rocked. Bonus for having vegetarian options. I look forward to returning and enjoying the patio that over looks the golf course. They also set up a few weekly events so be prepared to see an artist preform on a random night.

The place was smaller than I expected because I assumed it was a market due to the website haha but after learning more about how they get their meat from a local farm, I understood better. Was very pretty and modern inside with a twist of old fashioned decorative items like mason jar/wooden wheel chandeliers. Drinks came out fast, I got the banana old fashioned which was good. Not much banana flavor though but there was a subtle banana hint, so if you like an old fashioned on the sweeter side, I'd say you'd enjoy this cocktail. The food was good, we started with the soup of the day with was a DELICIOUS bacon Mac n cheese soup served with two pieces of naan (the naan was meh but overall good pairing with the soup). My partner had a chicken sandwich which he enjoyed even though he said it was pretty salty. I was very pleased with my T.F.R smash burger. But my favorite part of everything we ate were the fries! The FRIES! They were fried to crispy perfection and the batter was so fluffy and delish. They were very nicely seasoned and surprisingly had bits of garlic pieces throughout that you can eat or set aside.
