    Waiter weren’t very friendly and did not greet us with a hello. They just go straight into taking your order. The establishment may need to seek giving the waiters more assistance. They have to wait the tables, take order, run the bar, bust the tables and run the food. That is too much and jeopardize the overall experience for the customer.

    Ken’s is usually a pleasant dining experience with good service and excellent food. However, last night, a few minutes after we were seated, a group of six people were seated at the roundtable in the front. We were almost at the rear of the restaurant. These people were so loud that it created an unpleasant experience. They were literally screaming. I did not want to say anything because I was hoping that when they got their food, they would get quiet. They were so loud that I thought the hostess should have said something to them, but I suppose that’s a difficult situation to address. In spite of this, I would return to Ken’s. I have lived in the neighborhood for many years and have gone to ken’s for many years also. The bacon Panko crusted whitefish that I had was excellent.
