Dive into steak and seafood with reckless abandon at this Keefer brothers' collaboration. Designed with business diners in mind, the dramatic dining room features floor- to-ceiling windows and a 50-foot-long, crescent-shaped bar that curves around the circular main dining room, as well as a lobster tank built into a stone wall. Meanwhile, a couple of smaller rooms are decorated with broadcasting memorabilia. Appetizers range from asparagus-wrapped prosciutto to a jumbo lump crab cake with rÃ©moulade. Prime porterhouse and KC strip may share the entrÃ©e list with Dover sole meuniÃ¨re, seafood potpie, a grilled pork chop with cherry barbecue sauce and corn pudding and, of course, lobster. Peas with pearl onions and bacon are among the above-par sides, along with cheese fondue-filled potato croquettes. For dessert, poached pear in caramel sauce competes with triple chocolate flourless cake topped with homemade ice cream and chocolate sauce. A good wine list and professional service complete the picture. During winter, donâ€™t miss executive chef John Hoganâ€™s house-made charcuterie.

IMNSHO, the BEST steakhouse in all of Chicago! by scottphillips2 on 04/06/2009

Keefer's is, in my opinion, the best steakhouse in all of Chicago. The meat is the best I have ever had. The service is always impeccable, the atmosphere is top shelf and allows you to have a wonderful fun time, or a get-down-to-business meal. I always like a steakhouse that offers top quality beef, but also top quality seafood and a few other items for my guests who might not be steak fiends like myself. The bar is welcoming and more than ample. The staff also is excellent! _________________ ChicagoScott
