Resto Keela offers a lively yet welcoming vibe with consistently tasty dishes and generous portions, from Cornish Hen and pesto with garlic to octopus, scallops, and a standout oyster lineup, plus burgers, steaks, garlic knots, and bread with hummus; the cocktails and wine receive praise as well. Live music on Fridays adds to the atmosphere, and service is frequently described as attentive and friendly, though a few visits mention slower pacing when the venue is busy. Across many reviews, the place is seen as a neighborhood gem with inventive, well executed dishes, excellent celery root carpaccio, and strong flavors across the menu, and many guests say they would happily return, even as some note high prices, occasional service gaps, or limited accessibility.
Neighborhood restaurant with super friendly staff & outstanding but simple menu which adds to the establishments success. There something for everyone on the menu. The signature burger (I have not have but at least one at my table orders each time I'm there) is highly recommended. I personally love the grilled octopus apatiser. There is also a mixology bar 🍸 that has a following. Can be very busy make reservation but not necessary...depends on the night.
I was extremely happy to have discovered this gem. A simple menu that packs a lot of flavors. The ambiance is intimate & relaxing. Perfect for a date night. The waiter is attentive & polite. The menu has very few items but they've perfected these items & we can definitely taste it. Everything we ordered was perfectly seasoned & well portioned. I definitely recommend this place. Can't wait to go back.

Highly recommend! The staff was so nice & accommodating for our last minute reservations with a party of 7 on a Saturday night. Food, service & atmosphere was beyond our expectations, we were super happy with everything! Still talking about the food a few days later! Will try it again on our next visit!
We celebrated valentines as a family & the food was amazing. The oysters sweet & fresh, the Marguerita pizza was my kids favourite. We had lobster & the it is the first time I love it! The hamburger was excellent & the artichokes were a pleasant surprise. The beef tartare was ok & the chocolate mousse was the bomb! All a tiny bit on the salty side but excellent nonetheless. Service was good & music was cool. Will recommend & visit many more times.
Harland ( excuse the spelling) was A1 from the moment we walked in until we walked out, impeccable service & special shoutout to the shrimp appetizer the sauce that came with it was delicious & the shrimps were cooked well not chewy at all just perfect texture, & the steak cooked just how i like it! all in all a very good experience will definitely recommend & come back
We fell upon this gem while waiting to go see a comedy show nearby. The service was super friendly, the atmosphere was upbeat & fun (with a live singer/guitarist playing in the background), & the food was exceptional & not over-priced for the quality we got. I highly recommend their home-made pizzas baked in a wood-burning oven, the grilled octopus appetizer, & the chateaubriand with wild mushrooms for two was perfectly cooked & tender. They also make a kick-a$$ cocktail with vodka, chartreuse & basil. Will definitely be coming back!

This place is incredible! We came here for a birthday party for 12 & they were so well prepared & accommodating. We preselected what we would eat due to our party size & everything was delicious & seamless. Thank you again for a fabulous evening, would definitely recommend for large parties!
Cet endroit est incroyable ! Nous sommes venus ici pour une fête d'anniversaire pour 12 & ils étaient si bien préparés & arrangeants. Nous avons présélectionné ce que nous allions manger en raison de la taille de notre groupe & tout était délicieux & sans couture. Merci encore pour une soirée fabuleuse, je le recommanderais sans hésiter pour les grandes fêtes!
