    We love Keokis! The service is so friendly and on point. The food is delicious and our experience was perfect. We have never had a bad experience there and have been coming for years. Last night I had the fish, Keokis style and it was so ono!! Delicate, moist and melt in your mouth. My hubby had the steak which was so tender he barely needed a knife. Dining at the bar is also great. We did that a few nights ago. They take excellent care of you.
