   The air was out and our server was so sweet, it was way too hot and we just couldn’t stay.

   We had an excellent server who tempted us with a few recommendations. He was not pushy.

   This was the second time we've eaten at The Keep before an event at the Palace Theatre next door. The food was pretty good, and the service was very friendly and efficient. It would have been nice if the cost of a glass of wine was listed on their cocktails and other drinks menu. And the floor under our booth was SO sticky that our shoes stuck to the floor. And when we left the restaurant, our shoes made sucking noises the whole way out. Would we eat there again? Yes, if we were going to the Palace Theatre. Otherwise, I'm not sure we would make the trip from the suburbs to downtown. There are many other great restaurants in Central Ohio to choose from.

   We enjoy supporting businesses downtown. The photos on their website looked cool and we enjoyed the ambiance. The drinks weee good but the food was disappointing. The Brie fondue was just hollandaise some bread and a few veggies. We both ordered strip steaks and found the cut of meat to be thin and full of gristle. Not what I expected for $49 each. Food was average at best. Had hoped for a better dining experience. I don’t mind spending good money for good food but $200 for that food is not a good value.

    Server was personable and super nice. Ambiance is lovely as usual. Mussels were great, Mac and cheese was dry and French onion soup was bland. Drinks were on point - Apple martini and espresso martini.
