The atmosphere is friendly, and although there are a lot of regulars it's not a regulars bar where you get stared at when you come in. There is a good mixed age crowd. Families are mixed in with groups and couples as well as "after work" groups or celebrations. Service has improved as of late as well.

Some dishes are still good but overall it's become very inconsistent. My wife had the French dip this evening and said it was good. I had the shrimp and grits and was more than disappointed, hence this review. The meal was completely uninspired and consisted of too dry instant grits and canned seasoned collards (vinegar-y) 4 - 5 deep fried battered shrimp two pieces of bacon (not typically part of shrimp and grits) and a sprig rosemary. It was a $15 plate of low quality ingredients topped with "bacon". Quite frankly it sucked and I only ate about half of it. I can't understand why they even put it on the menu if they are going to do it so poorly. Sometimes the food is good and sometimes it ain't.

Stewart's is an ok neighborhood place, friendly crowd, ok for easy dinner on a Friday night. Stewart's is not really bad at anything and at the same time doesn't necessarily excel at any one thing either.
