Ken Stewart's Lodge

Our first time at The Lodge, having dined at Tre Belle and KSG numerous times we sporadically decided to give The Lodge a try. Last minute reservations put us in the outdoor patio area- I was skeptical but it was a great spot. Nice sunset view, rustic ambiance and very toasty! Our server (Stacey?) was wonderful! Friendly, attentive and gave excellent recommendations. Cocktails were great, nice diverse menu The Japanese shrimp were my favorite, unique and delicious! My husband enjoyed the Beef Wellington and I devoured the Sacchetti pasta. My dish was the favorite of both of ours, yum! For dessert, we split the crème brûlée, another great choice. I will say, I was very surprised by the number of young children. We were surrounded by kids on both sides, and as parents ourselves who were hoping to enjoy a date night, it was a bit interruptive of our evening... I suppose I am just more considerate of others, but having a $300 dinner should have been accompanied by a more enjoyable atmosphere.

We tried this for the first time, and I'm not impressed. Don't get me wrong, there were definitely some positives like the excellent service, but none of it was worth the cost. The ambiance isn't my thing. It's a "lodge" setting, but it's all inauthentic and cheap looking. The menu looks great if you like steak and seafood, but the reality doesn't live up to the hype. We got the small, chilled seafood tower ($145), and it was a lot of food, but it was mostly flavorless and it was obvious that most, if not all, had been in the freezer for a while, particularly the mussels, which were shriveled and tasteless. The Caesar salad was good (though they weren't offering table side preparation the day after Valentine's Day), but it's not exactly a complicated dish. Our entrees were very good though my walleye required just a dash of salt to make the flavors pop. My husband was very happy with his salmon, and we shared the peanut butter bomb for dessert and liked it. Again, not so difficult to scoop some ice cream into a warm cookie. Our final bill with tip came to just over $400. I've eaten at Michelin star restaurants for about the same price, and this was FAR from being Michelin Star quality.

Food was amazing, loved the complimentary valet when we got there for Valentine's Day, didn't realize that it was Al la carte though so we didn't like that. Service was very prompt and everyone was super nice. Loved the look of the restaurant, the ambience was super cozy and liked the atmosphere, also loved the fireplace we sat by it and it wasn't super super hot.

You'll find the standard items on the menu that most white tablecloth steakhouses offer. The great thing about their menu is that they seasonally craft new cocktails and appetizers to mix things up. The service was great, our server was friendly, and knew the long list of specials very well. The ambiance left a bit to be desired as the music was abnormally loud and the speakers frequently shifted in volume. The music was a techno spin on 80s which doesn't quite fit with the cabin aesthetic. We ordered 4 appetizers and steaks. The appetizers are very pricey but not out of place for either the type of establishment or the neighborhood. All of the food we ordered was great! The only improvement suggested would be with regard to the ambiance. A couple of upgrades could be used there. However, overall this is a fantastic local place!

I had one of the specials, which was a bone-in filet. It was the most flavorful steak I have ever had - perfectly seasoned and cooked medium rare to perfection! They have complimentary bread service as well - your server comes with a basket of bread and allows you to pick out the type you would like, all baked fresh.

Amazing! First time dining at Ken Stewart's and my wife and I truly enjoyed the experience. My wife stated she had the best Caesar Salad, which is hand made at the table. From the oysters to the Filets, everything was amazing. A special Thank You to Rachel who provided Excellent service and great recommendations.

Everything about Ken Stewart's Lodge is top notch! The food is top of the line. The service is always wonderful. The ambiance is spectacular. Dining here is never a disappointment.

We made a last minute reservation for our party of four and I am so glad we chose the Lodge. Our server, Alex, was incredible. His service was impeccable and his recommendations were spot on. We ordered a combination of menu items and off menu specials. Two in our party got the Beef Wellington special and loved it. I got the Sacchetti pasta and added grilled chicken per Alex's suggestion and it was delicious. I took some home and it was still amazing reheated the next day for lunch. The peach burrata appetizer wasn't my favorite, as the peaches I had were tough. But, peaches can be finicky like that. Overall, we had a great time and I highly recommend checking it out.

This is our go-to place! The atmosphere is great. Service is always great. Our favorites are always the pork chop and the halibut.

I always enjoy dining here. The food, and cocktails are always good. I also love the hunter lodge setting.
