Victorian-era meat-lover's destination. Enormous steaks & signature mutton chops served in a maze of clubby, wood-paneled rooms.
Absolutely the best experience I could have. Really good T bone, but that mutton chop is must must, did I say MUST have??? Initially wanted to order the porterhouse for two, but ended up ordering T bone and a lunch size mutton chop (13oz for $29) after the waiter told us the portion size. And that was probably too much meat for us. If you an average size Asian, trust me there is going to be too much food for you. Didn’t not regret it at all. The best mutton I’ve ever had. And the thick bacon… so smokey, not too salty. Just great. The lobster bisque was nice too. We ordered one portion but they served it in 2 bowls because we were sharing everything. So nice of them. Very good service. Just overall such a great experience. Love it
This place is really great! We have been to some of the best ranked steakhouses in the world literally and the steak here was quite insane. It was also comically large. I got the prime rib king’s cut and it is pretty much impossible to finish. For starters, we had the oysters Rockefeller, delicious! The fish was fantastic and the sides of sautéed mushrooms and hash browns were also pretty great. The staff is awesome and super friendly. All in all a great experience.
Keens has an amazing atmosphere, and you can feel it as soon as you walk in. Dark, wooden decors, moody lighting, pipes on the ceiling and pictures highlighting its history on the wall all come together and create a special place. Their food matches up to its venue and history. We had a taste of mutton, T-bone steak, creamed spinach and mash. The meat was so delicious and tender. The mutton was seasoned perfectly, and I liked the cabbage that came with it. The T-bone was so tender, and somehow not too heavy which allows you to eat more of it. Mash was perfect, and creamed spinach was flavourful and preserved enough spinach texture without losing it to cream. For dessert, we had a key lime pie, and it was so light, zesty, and not too sweet which made it so pleasant to eat. I would highly recommend getting it as a dessert, even if you are full! I would definitely come back, try other cuts of meat and eat that delicious key lime pie again!
Excellent mutton chop which is good for 2 to share. The lobster bisque is also excellent. This restaurant has 127 years history where they kept the pipes for 90,000 customers. Many famous people came here including Albert Einstein, President Theodore Roosevelt. The lady at the counter called Vonnie kindly brought s around the second floor to explain us the different rooms and the stories behind. It was fascinating !!
Far and away the best meal we had in NYC. Great presentation and service in a charming, atmospheric restaurant. The huge plate if crudites, fantastic blue cheese dip and breads were a tasty and unexpectedly generous start to our meal. Certainly it was very expensive overall but none of the party objected as it was just so good. That said, some items on the menu are extremely reasonable by NYC standards. Well worth it and an excellent experience.
Awesome dinner. Staff wearing masks and they check for vaccination card before being seated. It's a 4.5 stars. Our server did a great job. I had the double mutton chop which is delicious very delicious, served with swiss chard. We also the fried calamari salad very delicious with a little bit of spice, just right although the calamari was slightly over cooked. The prime NY sirloin was perfectly cooked, juicy, and tender. The interior is unique with the clay pipes on the ceiling dating back to 1885. The atmosphere brings you back in time. Dark but light enough. Great dessert menu and after dinner drink selection. Overall I would do it again and try their porterhouse steak for two or three, it looks awesome, you can get it sliced or not, same with the mutton chop, I had mine sliced.
Wonderful experience at Keen’s, of course! We sat in the Pub and it was my favorite seating of the four times I’ve been. The service was impeccable, yet friendly. The food was superb. And the wine list had some great surprises. A wonderful evening.
Probably one of the best restaurants I have been to. The ambience is perfect for a cozy indoor dining experience. Ordered the mutton chop appetizer, T-bone steak, mashed potatoes, creamed spinach, NYC cheesecake and carrot cake. All the food was heavenly and portions were very generous for the price. The beef and cheesecake were phenomenal. Highly recommend checking this place out!
