The restaurant provided a really enjoyable meal with a quiet dinner atmosphere that felt appropriate for casual wear. The entrees ranged in price from $20 to $28. The service was exceptional, as they accommodated my request for a vegetable-based meal by making the potato and vegetable hash as my main dish, which is usually served as a side dish.

What Barbara Hussar dislikes about Keen Kitchen Cafe:
The food was good, but we waited. Our server was a bit confused. She served water but never took drink orders. She insisted on placing all appetizers on one ticket and gave that to the kitchen. Then after those were served, she placed main entrees on another ticket. She said the cooks insist it be done that way and they get mad. Two of us ordered 2 apps and she got upset. When we were served our meals, we had no silv... View all feedback.

This was one of the best meals I have had in years. The ingredients were top quality and cooked to perfection. It was great for kids too - I went with two children under the age of seven and they had a menu just for them. The staff was very friendly and accommodating as well.

The service was exceptional, as they accommodated my request for a vegetable-based meal by making the potato and vegetable hash as my main dish, which is usually served as a side dish. I also tried some of the appetizers, including delicious meatballs, and sampled a bite of the flat iron pork, which was surprisingly juicy. I suggest that the staff provide bar napkins with the waters on the table to prevent condensation from forming. Overall, I had a great dining experience and would recommend this restaurant.

I love everything at this restaurant. I often make a meal sharing several appetizers, or, all their entree are fabulous! My favorite Old Forge restaurant.

NOTR: get a reservation!Such an awesome spot! We come in from out of town for the day and found this place. Alot of places in this area need reservations (if you don't want to wait two hours) or only do walk ins which also have a wait. This was dinner time. We did not know this coming to town and this was our third stop. They were able to get us a table outside. The waitress, Lisa, was super nice but the best part was the food. The pork was amazing and juicy, the steak special was also great, and the pasta was flavorful. My family and I always get a few meals and share everything. I highly recommend this play! It is pricey but the food was excellent.
