| - I had a very good experience here the other day! I stopped in for happy hour (3-6p) and sat at the bar where I was served by Monica. Right from the start she was pleasant and helpful, then just as importantly, she gave me my space while still being readily available if I needed anything.
So what I learned about LockKeepers is that they are very accommodating, they want the guest to be pleased so they will work with you on creating a dish that best fits your taste buds. For example, you want that $7 happy hour special flatbread, but you don't like the flavor of the day, they will make you pepperoni and cheese flatbread if that is what you want for the same price. Or you want a salad but aren't that hungry, you can get half orders! Or you want the calamari appetizer, but don't want it fried, they will sauté it for you! Or you want their sorbet dessert, but only one scoop instead of three, they will make it work! Pleasantly surprising.
The goods:
*Peach Bellini - Tasty. Good mix of alcohol and flavor.
*Bread - you get butter and olive tapenade to spread on your bread. Very good!
*Meatball - Large meatball with some read sauce on top of polenta. The meatball was good (ask them for fresh grated cheese on top), but the polenta was mediocre.
*Brussel Sprouts - Legit deep fried so not healthy, especially with bacon filled aioli, but pretty delicious. Tasted like they might sprinkle salt on it so I'd ask for it without that next time.
*Beet Salad - I always enjoy salad with beets, nuts, and goat cheese so no complaints here. Happy I could get half a salad.
*Crème Brûlée - It comes with like jam on half of it and this almond brittle bake in the center (maybe too much happening?). I was excited for this dish but it just wasn't for me. The sugar crust kind of tasted like blow torch.
There was a small issue with one of my dishes but management took care of it generously.
All in all, I would definitely come back here. LockKeepers is a high class place with great service and good food without a stiff or overwhelming atmosphere.
Oh, side note on parking, you can park anywhere in the lot just disregard the "Only for Yours Truly" sign. Or you can take advantage of complementary valet parking.
