Keefer's Restaurant - Chicago
Longtime businessman Glenn Keefer teamed 
up with legendary Chicago chef John Hogan for this contemporary River North steakhouse. Hogan's menu consists of chef-driven, global dishes that complement the best steak and chop offerings.
Hogan’s non-steak favorites are mostly share-able items, including blue mussels steamed in shallots, garlic and white wine; terrine of foie gras with fruit compote and brioche toast; and fire-roasted Burrata. There’s also a beef tenderloin Dianne, which originated at Savarin, Hogan’s former restaurant in River North.
Steaks are all USDA prime and are classic cuts: filet mignon, Kansas City strip, New York strip, Delmonico ribeye, bone-in ribeye and Porterhouse. Each is served with a choice of sauces like béarnaise, bordelaise and peppercorn. Other highlights include an "I must be in Chicago" smoked grilled pork chop with a cherry cola BBQ sauce and corn pudding; sautéed porcini-crusted halibut; and jumbo lump crab cake with remoulade.
Keefer’s is all set on one level, with one side reserved for more formal outings with nice white tablecloths and everything. It’s more of a hushed environment where business meetings and romantic dinners take place. The other side’s more boisterous and relaxed, and filled with after-work types, sports televisions and a casual menu. Guests may also order the full menu as well.
