"The wait-staff and manager were absolutely delightful and very accommodating. We were there with a group of 11 and they handled all of our requests skillfully. That's not always so easy with a bunch of retirees like us! We have already booked our next theater night at The Shawnee Playhouse for a return dinner at the Gem and Keystone. The way the staff handled our evening made us all feel very comfortable and eager to return."

"This is my second time dining here. I was craving the Trout since my last visit a year ago. It did not disappoint and was still very good. Maybe one day I will try other entrees on the menu."

"Overpriced for quality of food. Lighting too bright and setting dated. Server was polite, but poor quality of food and limited menu overshadowed service. Unfortunately, appears area lacks many options, thus need to improve quality is unlikely to occur."

"This is the second time I have been to this restaurant and both
