    Coleen did a great job. We thoroughly enjoyed our meals and I also had a dinner to go. I'll say it again, you have the best bussers of any restaurant. Well done!  If I could only make one comment for improvement, it would be that the chocolate chip cookie dessert should have been warm with the ice cream. Thank you.

    This was my wife's birthday and our first experience at Ken's. Everything from our cocktails, appetizers, main course to dessert was extremely good. You are warmly greeted when you enter Ken's. Our server and the wait staff were excellent. My wife thoroughly enjoyed her birthday dinner. We will definitely be back!

    This visit was a miss. We’ve been coming here for over 40 years and this is the first time I’m complaining publicly mostly because I felt unheard. I ordered the lamb shank special which was/is normally delicious . When I told the waitress the vegetables were extra salty (so bad, in fact, it left a salt burn on my lips) she apologized and went to talk to the cook. I asked my dinner guest to try them to make sure I wasn’t just being sensitive (she tasted the same overwhelming salt flavor). The cook tasted the veggies in the kitchen (not the ones on my plate) and told our waitress the vegetables were fine. What upset me is that he didn’t try to make it right. What would have been nice is if he at least sent out the vegetables he tasted. I will give them another chance but am incredibly disappointed. There are plenty of other places to spend $125 on dinner, so do better Ken’s!
