Keefer's

went here for my bday one year, and can't wait to return ever since! very modern, nice atmosphere, and the food is DELICIOUS! steak is one of my top favorite things, and they do a fantastic job here -- love it!

Visited Keefer's on 12/3 for a late dinner. We were seated immediately even though we were a bit early. Our server, Patty, was at our table immediately. Her service throughout the evening was absolutely wonderful. A glass was never less than half full. She also knew the art of "when to and not to" approach the table. Everyone who served our table was excellent. I even got football game scores from a waiter. The food was incredible and I still cannot get over the portions. After a hectic day we wanted to slow down and we did. We enjoyed a leisurely 2 1/2 hour dinner (our pace -not theirs) that I will remember forever. We will be back!

Keefer's ranks highly among my favorite restaurant experiences anywhere, ever.

Called ahead that we would be 30 mins late for dinner. Even though it was a busy Friday eve, packed house and bar, we were seated immediately upon arrival. Informed our waiter, Trent, that we were on a schedule as we were late and had theater tickets. He made us feel relaxed and comfortable, and immediately took our order. I say truly, the timing of every detail of our meal was made to be simply perfect. In the end we were not rushed at all, enjoying our dinner experience fully. And thanks to Trent, we were in our seats just before opening curtain!

The food was excellent except my house salad, which was merely good. It was very plain - just Bibb lettuce and some red cabbage. It was fresh and tasty, just plain, and a little too light on the flavorful balsamic vinaigrette. I had the small filet mignon "diane" style, which was a little larger than expected - perfect size. It was superb - perfectly cooked to medium-rare, delicious sauce in its proper limited quantity, probably the finest steak I've ever enjoyed. My date's steak was equally good. Sides of au gratin potatoes and "Hogan's Peas" were also excellent and perfectly sized. With clock ticking, I asked Trent if we had time for the orange chocolate creme brulee. He said we would have it in three minutes. Three minutes later, he brought our absolutely delightful dessert and the check.

The ambiance was warm and inviting, and the food was outstanding. Every portion was perfect - not too much, not too little. But the best part of this experience was the service - truly exceptional. 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.

Slightly pricey, yes, but worth what I paid. A memorable experience. Highly recommended.

We made reservations for a group of 12 people and we were promptly seated when we arrived. The staff were very friendly, we actually had 2 waiters at our table Minos and another gentleman (sorry I can't remember your name) who were funny, knowledgeable and charming. If you are looking for an excellent Chicago steak house this must be on your list. My filet came perfectly prepared, although next time I would ask for no salt in the seasoning.

My husband & I visited Keefer's for the first time last weekend. It was such a nice experience. The food was excellent!! The breaded calamari & spicy sauce was out of this world!! Steak was perfectly done for both of us as we had requested it and absolutely delicious! The staff was very professional and we always had drinks and everything we needed without really knowing they were there. Romantic... The only thing I would say is that we were a little underdressed -- We were told there was no dress code and it was casual, but we would have felt a little more comfortable if we had dressed up a little more. We'll be back. Great food!!
