In busy River North, stylish Keefer’s offers prime steaks, chops, seafood and some bistro dishes served in a handsome circular dining room with a contemporary Arts and Crafts feel. Steakhouse classics like lobster bisque, Caesar salad and creamed spinach, as well as some updated but not fussy alternatives, are also featured. There’s also a pared-down lunch menu, and the adjacent Keefer’s Kaffé offers a menu of soups, salads and simple sandwiches.
