    The food was mediocre..the risotto was tasteless, the onion soup tasted burnt..they served an uneditable steak with their Steak and Frites to our granddaughter, which they did take off the bill. They did not refill our water or check to see if we needed any other drinks. Our grandson did enjoy the burger. Will not return.

    The service was good but the lack of food options offered for the buffet and the fact that we were charged for a side of bacon and coffee makes the brunch not worth the $49 price. We have been to other buffet brunches in town that offer more options and coffee for the same amount. I have been to this restaurant for dinner and had a great experience but this was a disappointment.
    The Keep Kitchen & Liquor BarResponded on May 20, 2025
    Hello cait, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're glad to hear that you found our service good, but we're sorry to learn that you were not fully satisfied with our buffet and the side charges. We strive to offer a variety of options to our guests, and we'll definitely take your feedback into consideration. We're glad to know that you've had positive experiences at other buffet brunches, though. We hope to have the opportunity to serve you again and provide a better experience.

    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.
