Ken Stewart’s Grille: The Premier Steakhouse and Seafood Destination in Akron

There wasn’t a single thing I didn’t enjoy during our dining experience at KSG — the food was simply good. The lobster deviled eggs were absolutely scrumptious, with generous pieces of lobster in every bite. I’ll admit, when my scallops arrived paired with a beet-red risotto, I cringed inwardly — red risotto isn’t exactly the most visually appealing dish to me. But one bite changed everything. The flavors easily erased my initial hesitation. The dish was seasoned perfectly, and the scallops were some of the most tender I’ve had in a long time. My husband enjoyed his seafood pasta but mentioned he wished he had asked for jalapeños — it needed just a little pop of heat. I also snagged a bite of his crispy sponge cake (yes, crispy sponge cake!), and it was uniquely delicious. I would have happily eaten more, but caffeine tends to trigger my migraines, so I had to hold back. A special shoutout to Erin, our server, who was absolutely amazing. Her warmth and attentiveness made an already great meal even better.

Sorry no pictures. We went for a birthday celebration. The food was exceptional. After turkey and prime rib for the holidays it was nice to enjoy some seafood. The ahi tuna was lightly seared and the sauce was thin but a perfect companion and added flavor and a little zing with the shaved ginger and Wasabi. I opted for the salad and normally I'm not a big fan of restaurant salads but theirs is excellent. They use quality nutritional lettuce, with nuts and berries. I had the white French dressing and actually finished the entire salad. We also had calamari, octopus and sauerkraut balls. My daughter ordered the French onion soup. Let's just say the conversation lagged because the food was exceptional. The housemade peppermint ice cream was a perfect finish to a meal that was wonderfully made. Our server was beautiful, charismatic and efficient. The only negatives, if you use your credit card they charge a 3% fee and they only serve shareable sides. So bring your wallet because you will love the food and the server will earn that 20% tip and then some!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Ken Stewart’s Grille for a business dinner, and I must say, the experience was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we walked in, the warm and inviting atmosphere set the perfect tone for an enjoyable evening. The highlight of our visit was undoubtedly the food. Each dish we ordered was crafted with care and artistry, showcasing a delightful mix of flavors and ingredients. It was evident that the kitchen takes great pride in their menu, and every bite was a testament to their culinary expertise. Whether it was the perfectly cooked steak or the fresh seafood options, everything exceeded our expectations. Our server played a crucial role in making the evening memorable. Attentive and knowledgeable, they guided us through the menu with ease, offering insightful recommendations that truly enhanced our dining experience. Their passion for the food and drink was apparent, and they were more than happy to answer any questions we had about the dishes or the wine pairings. The overall ambiance of Ken Stewart’s Grille is both elegant and comfortable, making it ideal for a business dinner or a special occasion. The combination of exceptional food, attentive service, and a lovely atmosphere made for a truly memorable evening. I wholeheartedly recommend Ken Stewart’s Grille for anyone looking for a top-notch dining experience in Akron. I look forward to returning and exploring more of their menu in the future!

Our server was so great and knowledgeable about the menu. Tuna tartare appetizer was so fresh and delicious. The salads were huge and so tasty. The main courses ( steaks and fish) were are prepared perfectly. And the grilled cake for dessert was a perfect ending to a fabulous meal. Highly recommend!

My first visit and already an instant favorite. The staff were so friendly and helpful- the table side prep of the Caesar was a fun touch to a delicious salad. We loved the family style sides. The Wagyu pigs in a blanket were amazing, and my steak was perfect.

I recently had lunch 2/28 celebrating my birthday here. We had the honor of having Rocky as our server. She was absolutely amazing! We did have a small hiccup but Rocky’s energy and enthusiasm and determination to make our experience amazing. And she didn’t disappoint! The mom and daughter manger team handled our hiccup post hastily. Thank you very much for this. And the beautiful young lady who was the hostess. Was wonderful. She was very pleasant. We were greeted wonderfully by her. Thank to your team for making my birthday special! P.S. when you go ask for Rocky she was Amazing!

Nice place. Food was great in flavor and portion sizes, served exactly as ordered. Wait staff was very nice and vibe was classic & moody. Would eat there again.

Went there for my birthday (it was my first time there). Was seated immediately by very friendly hosts, and they were extremely accommodating prior to that when I called because I was running late. That alone earns them a star in my book; they really took the pressure/stress off. The service was, as expected, highly professional and accommodating in every way you would need or ask for. The food was simply delicious and perfectly prepared (most notably the steak, which every restaurant - even your chain steakhouses - somehow manages to completely screw up more often than not. But here, if you ask for "medium", you are more than likely going to get just that). They even did a special thing for my birthday (always a nice touch). Tip on the beverages: this is not a criticism, but it seems like most of their signature cocktails on the menu tend to be very strong and heavy on the liquor (which in fairness, they did mention beforehand). It was too strong for my liking, but they do let you order pretty much any standard cocktail that you want, which are not on the menu, and those were excellent. I'm sure you could ask to not make it too strong as well. Overall, a polished experience and I'd highly recommend. Prices are about what you'd expect for a high-end restaurant, but if you leave out some of the "extras" (appetizers, cocktails, sides - which, btw, are ALL à la carte), you could definitely keep the bill more reasonable. And in my opinion, I think you are absolutely getting what you pay for, regardless of how much or little you get.
