Keen’s is such a classic New York steakhouse. The place is huge with tons of different rooms across multiple floors, so it feels historic but not stuffy. The decor is incredible, walls covered in old prints and memorabilia, you could honestly just wander around and look at everything. Staff were great all around, professional, friendly, and very on top of things. Only real downside is the vibe at night could be better. There’s no music at all (and if there was it wasn't hearable) and the lighting is a bit too bright for an evening steakhouse, it takes away slightly from the cozy, old school atmosphere you’d expect. That said, the history, space, and service totally make up for it. Definitely worth going at least once, especially if you like classic NYC spots.

This was exactly what you want in the traditional NYC steakhouse experience. The food came quick, the service was good, vibe was intimate, and the food was delicious. First time trying Mutton and was pleased. The prime rib was also good. For dessert try the Key lime pie. Would definitely come back!

Let me start by saying that the atmosphere and vibe of the restaurant were amazing. You felt like you were stepping back in time. The waiter was amazing. The food, albeit flavorful, was not cooked properly and could've been much better. Here is a breakdown of what we got and my rating of each item... Lobster Bisque: Amazing! The flavor was heavenly and I ate every last bit. Would recommend. Cost $16 Taste of Mutton: Ordered medium rare and was served medium well. Because of this the meat was tough. There were 2 bites that were medium and they were much more tender but still not what we were expecting and had seen on videos. The flavor was amazing but I couldn't fully enjoy it. I was definitely disappointed as this was the reason we came here. Would not recommend unless you're comfortable sending your food back to be remade. Cost $35 Hash brown: This was more like a fried mashed potato pattie than hash browns. It was very delicious but I prefer the hashbrowns at Gallagher's Cost: $15 Porterhouse: Ordered medium rare and it came out medium well. I was expecting better flavor, too. This was the biggest disappointment with the cost being $143 There are MANY other steakhouses that have much better food, in my opinion. I may have been spoiled by Gallagher's earlier in the week, however, for the same exact cost I was expecting something comparable. If you can only go to one, go to Gallagher's!

Warm, relaxing atmosphere. This is our 2nd time here, we made a very spontaneous trip to NYC (2 days before the flight lol) and did not get to sit infront of the tiger picture as we did last time in the Lamb’s Room, but we still had an exquisite experience! We will definitely be back & will make sure to book reservations way ahead of time, to ensure we can sit where we’d like and eat dinner at an earlier time (8;30 was the only reservation slot open) we left with our bellies super full & happy! Service was great. Restaurant/ restrooms were clean & food was so delicious.

Keens. A must visit while in NYC. 🗽 A classic steakhouse that will give you a cut of steak 🥩 that is bigger than you! An absolute jewel. Everywhere you look you see something vintage and unique. Giant flake salt on top of the steaks 👌👌 absolutely delicious. 🤤 We were here as guests with a company party 🎊 They sent around large cocktail shrimp and lamb lollipops as the appetizers 😋 They had a set menu for our group— I ordered the filet and green beans with dessert being chocolate mousse 👏
