It's a great building and great location. Just get the food right (ps: i'm not the only one saying this) and the rest will follow. Maybe I'll give it a new shot once I hear on urbanspoon some posi-reviews. cheers. I hope your right. It’s a great building and great location.

I am almost positive it opened a couple of years ago and always has a great crowd. So, your pretty far off on your prediction. The food is consistently delicious and timely. The staff is friendly and professional. Brunch is outstanding and the beer/drink menu is incredible. It is owned by a local group who have several other successful businesses so, I'm pretty sure Keystone will be in our neighborhood for several years!

Molly Malones is also average. Down under I can't speak for but nice owner and bartenders. Sigh, Julie we miss our old neighborhood. When Ezra opened Sanoma it was great, Scaleas (now Chalk) was happening then, we loved the deli, Cocos rocked and Wildflour (now Greenup Cafe) was great before they got an attitude. As to "The bar formerly known as Cocos" (we locals refuse to accept the new name) it flat out sucks, ruined, most of the locals refuse to patronize it. A few weeks ago we were sitting at Chalk and a flood of people streamed out the door, they had some obnoxious white rapper comic annoying everyone, he cleared the building! Nikki I can't believe you brought up Inn The Wood, used to be my fave for breakfast. We will have try it.

They've recreated the Inn The Wood Potato Crisp - in fact, that's what it's called on the menu. They have the standard and several other varieties on the same concept. As a student at UC in the late 90's, that trip up to Calhoun Street for the Potato crisp was always worthwhile, and Keystone has done a GREAT job of bringing it back to life. Additionally - Keystone has a great beer selection at night if you can handle some frat boys. If not, just go before 11...that's my usual trick! ;) Julie – you should go back for the brunch sometime.

Our family got a restaurant.com gift cert a few months ago and we were looking forward to this place. But we had a very similar experience. Not even average. Molly Malones across the way is about as bad. Too bad this could be a very cool place to eat. Has anyone ever been to 'down under' which is right around the corner from keystone? My prediction: keystone will be closed in 6 months. I remember the old scaleas and a nice coffee shop where keystone is now located – when I lived in Covington (riverside dr.) 10 yrs ago.
