Ken Stewart’s Grille in Akron is under scrutiny after a post on social media regarding the restaurant’s dress code went viral.
The restaurant, located at 1970 W. Market St. in Akron, posted last week on Facebook a statement that said due to patrons’ requests, proper attire is required for dinner service. It said the attire that is prohibited is beachwear, gym attire including sweatpants, sweatshirts or hoodies, athletic apparel, hats, oversized or baggy clothing and no excessively revealing clothing or offensive odors is allowed on the property.
“This is about clothing and appearance, and it really has nothing to do with race; we want people to come in look nice and have a great experience,” said Ken Stewart. “It was about clothing and nothing else. Everyone is welcome; just we ask you not to come in in gymnasium clothes or beachwear.” And when asked why the need to add in odor to the post? Stewart said,"The only herb we’d like you to smell like is tarragon."
