Established since 1885, the Keens Steak House serves the best American steaks in New York. It is certainly a must to make reservations to avoid waiting for a table especially during weekends. While reviewing the menu, the waiter served vegetables and bread with dip. I enjoyed the New York sirloin with creamed spinach and potatoes as sides. The steaks are delicious and the come in huge portions. The dinner specials of Keens Steak House include lobster bisque, prime bavette steak and filet mignon. Visiting Keens is a must to try its legendary mutton chops and prime steaks.

The dessert menu offers pie, tiramisu, puddings and ice creams. As each serving comes in huge portions, you might not be able to finish your dessert if you’re alone.

The bar area is darkly lit and warm like an old school with a rustic décor like a setting in any Charles Dickens’s novels. It is a classic New York chophouse that has over 90,000 pipes lining on the ceilings; these pipes were once smoked by diners after meals. Like any other typical steak houses, Keens Steak House is no exception. The atmosphere is vibrant and lively. I am certainly amazed with the extensive single malt selection with over 120 varieties on their menu.

The meal is certainly beyond my expectations. Keens long history certainly makes it a landmark in New York. The service is great and the waiters are helpful in explaining the menu. Fantastic and it is a truly New York experience suitable for a family meal.
