Resto Keela earns widespread praise for its welcoming vibe and consistently excellent food. Signature dishes like the octopus, celery root carpaccio, salmon tartare, and the rib or filet mignon are repeatedly highlighted, and oysters on Tuesdays are a particular favorite. The menu is described as creative and well paced, with breads, beignets for dessert, and flavorful sides adding to the experience. Service is often described as friendly and attentive, and the staff create a lively yet homey atmosphere, though a few reviews note slower service when the restaurant is crowded. Cocktails and wine receive strong praise for variety and quality. Prices are sometimes seen as high, but many feel the quality and overall experience justify the cost. It is described as a hidden gem in the Village and a top pick for return visits. A few remarks mention accessibility issues or occasional hiccups in service when busy.
This is a must. Best food in the area & really good for a date. Ask for the oysters as they’re not on the menu. Their home made oyster sauce is so good. The morning hen was baked to order & to perfection.

If I could rate 6 stars I would! We had our work holiday party there this past Friday & not a single complaint was raised by any of the 30+ attendees.
The food was not only amazing but they were able to accommodate numerous dietary restrictions & a few deadly allergies while also delivering timely, quality service.
Consummate professionals who also know how to make a party a party 🥳
Thank you Johnny & Kristin for making our outing so spectacular! We will absolutely be coming back again & again.
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!
Probably the best dinner I've had in 10 years! Harlan was amazing as well. I could eat that celery root carpaccio every day for the rest of my life! Everything was perfect. Thank you!
The filet mignon melts in your mouth! Drinks are awesome & service is friendly & considerate. This is our second visit & we look forward to next time. If you seeing a show at the Olympia, reserve ahead cause this place is popular. Thanks to Keela staff!
