What People Are Saying About Keefer's

A classy, corporate-chic steakhouse with a bustling bar scene, flooded with natural light and a stunning cityscape through 16-foot-high windows. Comfy black leather booths line the walls of the circular dining room. Under classically trained Chef John Hogan, the kitchen brings new life to old favorites. Coated in panko bread crumbs, fried calamari is a discovery, meltingly tender and delicious. Red-meat lovers choose from a half-dozen cuts, including juicy sirloin and lightly marbled rib eye. Sides go beyond the typical: Peas, sweet and fragrant with leek cream, bacon and pearl onions and creamy potato croquettes with Fontina fondue. Service is professional, congenial and whip-smart.

Service ok, Tuna steak mushy, fatty, bland in flavor Baked Spud no better than a Ryans steak house Do yourself a favor and head to Cap Grill or Harry Cary's across the street Carys is hands down better and has ambience, this place is sterile and way over hyped blahhhhh

I've eaten here a few times, in small groups (4-6) and in a large group (15-20). When in a small group, the food is amazing. My filets when I've eaten in small groups have been the best I've ever had. When in a large group for a company party, while the service was impeccable (my wine glass did not go empty!) and the appetizers delicous, the steak suffered. My filet was well done (I'd ordered medium rare) and it did not have the preparation I had asked for. The sides and desserts are still delicious though. Great creamed spinach, great house salad with bibb lettuce and some Belgian endive on the side.

The service is impeccable here. The staff is patient and willing to answer any questions and always have great recommendations. The portions are huge and worth the money you spend. The really cute manager told my friends to come on Fridays for their happy hour. I'd definitely go back.
