The best KS establishment in my opinion. Always great anytime of year, but exceptional service for Valentine’s Day 2025. It was packed, but the staff managed it all wonderfully. Our steaks as well as one on the table next to us were sent back for being under cooked. Brought back in no time to perfection, and then offered a complimentary dessert to end the evening. Love the Lodge and will always be back!

Seating was in view of a stone fireplace with a comfortable fire. Recommend Roasted Cauliflower and Grilled Asparagus as an appetizer. The main courses of Potato Crusted Halibut, 14oz Double Bone Pork Chop, and 6 Oz Filet Mignon where winning selections. Take the bottled water option when offered. Service was attentive. I highly recommend dining for special or not so special occasions.

Fantastic experience! We’ve been a few times and this was by far our favorite experience. Valet parking is complimentary, our valet was great (please tip them;). Our server Alice was incredible! I’d recommend the wedge salad, the French dressing was next level 👌🏻 Also, highly recommend the angel food cake dessert, melt in your mouth, delicious!

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our experience at Ken Stewart’s Lodge last night! We were there to celebrate our 45th Wedding Anniversary. Upon arrival, the hostess greeted us with a “Happy Anniversary,” which was very kind of her. Then, once our wonderful server, Rachel, stopped by to greet us, she also said, “Happy Anniversary.” That was so nice to hear that they really cared about making our special occasion special! My husband enjoyed his Oysters for his appetizer. I got the filet mignon and my husband got the three filets with different sauces, along with an added 8 ounce lobster tail, that was AMAZING! He loved the asparagus too. We loved the delicious bread, our yummy salads, our amazing meals, and the wonderful cheesecake for dessert. The sparkler was cute in the cheesecake to celebrate our special occasion. We plan to come back soon to celebrate another occasion with our family.

Ken Stewart’s Lodge is a unique experience - steak, seafood are emphasis of the menu including beef Wellington, lobster tail, crab cake, ribeye, and more. The restaurant offers complimentary valet and is large and spacious enough to offer a quiet evening out with the unique atmosphere of a Yellowstone - esque cabin with soft lighting and active fire places. Many of the items are listed as market price and a dinner for two with a bottle of wine will run $265-$300. Alice was a wonderful server who was attentive, very knowledgeable and practiced great silent service. Be sure to ask about off menu specials

What a lovely dinner I had. Luke was a fantastic server. The whole table was impressed with his service and knowledge of the menu. He really made our dinner amazing. I would highly recommend the table side Ceasar, the ahi tuna appetizer with jalapeño, the lamb was HUGE (and delicious) and best of all, they DE-SHELL the crab for you! What an amazing and dangerously expensive treat. When it’s de-shelled and ready to eat, you can eat pounds and pounds without even thinking about it. If you’re even considering coming here, DO IT! Sooner rather than later! And request Luke as your server!

Great food, only taken back by bottle of water provided instead of glass flat water (Fuji bottle) otherwise steaks cooked perfect, and tasty scallops.
