| - Went to Keegan's last night for dinner. We arrived around 7:30 PM. The amount of people there was just about right - not completely empty (which would make me feel like it was unpopular for some reason) and not completely full (which would lead to inattentiveness by our server and an overloud environment). Our waitress introduced herself and asked for our drink orders promptly, and brought them back promptly.
After looking over the menu, I ordered the filet mignon (medium) with steamed broccoli and sauteed green beans. We each had a starter - I had a salad with blue cheese dressing and he had the French onion soup. Neither of us was particularly enthused; my dressing tasted like mayonnaise and there were only a few slim morsels of blue cheese to go with my lackluster lettuce and single tomato.
The entree, however, truly redeemed any lukewarm feelings I had. It arrived only a few minutes after we finished eating our starters. The outside was charred - as advertised - but the inside was a perfect pink, just the way I like my steak done. The filet was spiced absolutely perfectly. Every bite was a new treat. The beans were also delicious. The broccoli was NOT up to par, but it was the only thing on the plate that was not divine.
After we ate our entrees, it was after 8:00, so appetizers were half-off for Reverse Happy Hour. Although our waitress said they normally do Reverse Happy Hour only at the bar, she asked her manager and told us it would be fine to order appetizers from our table - great service there. We got the spicy chicken wings - another winner! The spicing was amazing. They were really, really good.
Overall, we agreed that this restaurant was a winner. The service, filet mignon and chicken wings bring this place up to five stars, with only one star taken away for the broccoli and salad experience. I was really pleased with my experience here.
