“ Ambiance!!! We found the Keep while in Columbus for a conference. The Hotel where the restaurant is was right across the street from our hotel. I was tasked with finding a spot for a group dinner and decided to the give The Keep a try. What can I say, we loved the place, and we loved it so much our group ate there more than once and afterwards members of group borught more people there for dinner and drinks. The menu is simple but covers a good array of food that almost anyone can enjoy. The wine list is extensive, and so is their collection of liqueurs, spirits and beer. We had a great time, great meals and of course we all were very happy with our drinks. When we return to the area, I'm sure everyone in our group will come back to The Keep. ”
“ Had an amazing Easter dinner! The food was amazing. The brisket was the abso best I've had. Our server Will was great, very personable and warm. I will definitely be back! ”
“ A beautifully ambient, cozy, decorative gem located in one of the most famous buildings in downtown Columbus. The layout and decoration is enough to want to be a returning customer. The waitstaff is attentive and kind, especially applicable to the management team who are knowledgeable, attentive, and kind. The backbar is amply stocked, especially with a wide variety of scotches, which is seeming harder and harder to come by. I’m excited to return for many visits to come. ”
“ What a fantastic spot for dinner! I had no idea this place even existed, but I’m so glad we found it. Trish, our server, was awesome—so friendly, knowledgeable, and took great care of us. The drinks were spot on, and my wife absolutely loved the Brussels sprouts. I’m not usually a fan of them, but I gave them a try, and they were actually really tasty! Our dinners were delicious, and we wrapped up the evening with a cocktail in the mezzanine before the show. I’m not docking any stars for this, but I did notice the bartender at the bar wasn’t the most sociable and seemed a bit annoyed when I ordered more drinks. I totally get that it can get hectic with the shows, so maybe she was having a tough night. It’s just one of those things where, in customer service, a smile can really make a difference even when you're feeling stressed. Overall, though, the experience was great! Would definitely recommend! ”
“ Such a magical evening at the Keep! Thank you to Brandon and Greg for making it so extra special! The food was divine and the ambience was lovely! The extra touches and attention to detail meant so much to us for my son’s celebration. The live music in the lobby gave our evening an extra special touch. Thank you to the entire team at Hotel Leveque! We will be back soon! ”
“ The staff was very friendly! Had Brie fondue and Roasted Brussell Sprouts to start. I had the Salmon and my friend had Short Ribs. But the best was the Butterscotch Creme Brulee, I could have licked the bowl it was so good! Definitely going back! ”
“ We enjoyed our time at the Keep on Valentine’s Day. I didn’t love the sweet croutons on my Caesar salad and the steak could have been more tender, according to my husband, but everything was flavorful and the service and presentation of food were great. I even got a red carnation upon entry. Beware, if you plan on having a private conversation with your significant other, this may not be the place for you. All double tops were placed within inches of one another. So much so that I could hear everyone’s conversation and nearly hit my neighbor when getting in and out of my seat. Located next to the Palace Theater. A very short walk from the Ohio theater. We parked by the Ohio Theater, where we were seeing a show, for 15 and walked 5 minutes. ”
“ Love The Keep, a perfect, elevated dining experience that blends seemlessly within the art deco Hotel LeVeque. We enjoyed the charcuterie board, potato leek soup, and crispy chicken sandwich (with hot honey!). We had a late dinner after a day of traveling. We were concerned about being too late and the kitchen closing, but our server assured us we were welcome and truly made us feel as such. The food and drinks here are only outshined by the service. Can't wait to return to The Keep! ”
