“We dined at Keefers on a Saturday evening and found the food to be wonderful, the service impeccable, and the ambiance romantic.”
“Salad, steak, sides and desert were all delicious.”
“The staff allowed neither our wine nor water glasses to be empty, our needs were cheerfully accommodated with precision, and the entire experience was managed and orchestrated in a relaxed, yet efficient and professional manner.”
“My friend's steak was just as bad.”
“Trained by Chef Jean Joho several years ago, he virtually developed the modern day Bistro menu at Kiki's Bistro, and displayed incredible haute'cuisine at Savarin, he has the touch.”
“Also a great place to have a nice lunch!”
“We got seated right away and the service was wonderful, however, the steaks (which were why we went there) were just okay.”
“For a bigcity steak place the menu was fairly priced (not cheap, but reasonable given the fare; steaks and seafood from $24 to $35 and other entres from $14 to $22).”
“Three minutes later, he brought our absolutely delightful dessert and the check.”View Less
BEST Steak in the City!. All the new steakhouses popping up have nothing on Keefer's. In fact, I feel that they are more reasonably priced, the steak was to die for! The portions are huge, the staff doesn't try and upsell, upsell, upsell (ahem, Maestros). The sides are out of this world. Will be back over and over again. Wish I hadn't waited so long to try them out!…
Great for Parties.
Would highly recommend Keefer's for a party.
Was planning my mom's 75th birthday and stumbled across this restaurant on the web. Photos looked nice, etc. -- that's all I knew of the place. Our whole group was blown away by the food -- large portions, cooked exactly how each of us wanted. They had us in a private room with its own entrance (Keefer's Kafe), which was quaint and comfortable. Servers were personable and attentive.
Prices were excellent and they have the lowest "minimum" for a party of any of the restaurants I contacted. Downside -- they charge a $100 server fee and had a mandatory 20% tip. This put the cost of service at 28% of the total tab. The service was great but 28% is quite high.…
Head to Harry Carys across the street.
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…
Great in small groups, not so much in large groups.
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.…
Good Looking Manager, and Great Food is a Plus too.... 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.…
