I was a bit surprised that the seating was pretty uncomfortable. The server was very nice, and served me a great cocktail. I recommend the crab & lobster bisque. The crab cakes @ $24.00 had way too much filler. The grouper sandwich came with an enormous serving of grouper. In all it was enough for two meals, and I am sure I will enjoy the leftovers today!

The food and service were excellent!! We sat outside, it was a lovely day with the low sound of the piano playing in the background. I ordered the Fish and Grits with an order of Pancakes that came with the bacon or sausage. I requested Turkey Bacon which they did not have. I wish they would have adjusted my bill, for I assume they didn’t have the Turkey Bacon because it never came out and the waitress didn’t mention it. I had to quickly leave, so I didn’t mention it. I highly recommend dining there. FYI, my bill was $35 for Red Fish and Cheesy Grits with 2 Pancakes on the side; no drink. The restaurant next door has an excellent Brunch Buffet for the same cost. I would eat there again because the food was really good and we enjoyed the piano playing and eating outside. I am very happy that there are options for brunch!! Try both!

Let me preface this by saying that I don't usually leave bad reviews. For a place to make me go out of my way to warn others says a lot. I made reservations here for me and my girlfriend for Valentine's Day. As we arrived, we thought there was a karaoke night that we didn't know about. It turns out it was a performer they booked that night. His voice was like listening to nails on a chalkboard. The waitstaff was also rude, though they were prompt with seeing us. We could not bear to listen to the guy's voice on stage. Not only did he sound terrible, his microphone was seriously loud and it threw off the ambience big time. We left before we ordered anything so I can't attest to the food, but if this is how they manage the place on Valentine's day, I would hate to go back on a normal day. What a waste of time.

Great food and music. Charismatic piano player. Sometimes hard to hear over the music but that didn’t bother us. Would go again

Appetizers were good but didn’t like the entrees. Either too salty or bland. Atmosphere was great

Other than being VERY loud, the piano show was excellent. High energy, crowd participation very fun. However, the price of food and drinks was extremely steep. We split a steak and had 2 drinks apiece and the bill was $94. The steak was pretty low grade but the cocktails were pretty good (spicy margaritas is 👍).

Keys was too expensive for what it is. Paid $13 for an unexciting drink and even more for mediocre food. Our server was not friendly and did not seem pleasant. There were no dualing pianos and only soft music playing.

We enjoyed our dinner and entertainment at The Keys! Food, drinks, dueling pianos, and service was exceptional! We’ll definitely be back on our next vacation from Michigan!

Website under FAQ’s says live music Wednesday thru Saturday. Guess I needed to call. Server was having a bad day or wanted to be somewhere else. And food was average at best. In summary, we won’t be back.

The brunch menu was lacking but the food we ordered was very good. The chairs at the keys outside are very uncomfortable and actually hurt your back.
