Brunch
Hana A.

My husband and I stumbled upon Keel which is located inside the Carmen hotel, when we were looking for brunch spots. The seating right on the beach is really what lured us in. We were greeted immediately and seated. The menu had a variety of classic "continental" options as well as signature dishes like huevos rancheros. The continental options come with a ton of fruit, I noticed almost everyone around us ordered it. We decided on signature breakfast meals. Service was a little slow but honestly when the beach is in front of you, meh ya forget all about it. Once our food came out they were presented well, hot & delicious. My husband and I both crushed our dishes. I got the huevos rancheros and my husband got another eggcellent dish with a green sauce and nachoes (cant remember what it was called for the like of me) but that green sauce mmmmmm. The staff spoke English well, we can carry a convo in Spanish but only for so long (hehe). The server recommended their green juice I forget exactly what was in it, but it was healthy & tasted good. My only wish was that they had more coffee options. I ordered a cappuccino and it was made from a nespresso machine (I have a nesp. @ home -maybe I wanted something more elevated) not a big deal since the server ended up comping our coffees. Great service, great conversations with awesome food and a killer POV. I hope I can try their dinner menu next time!

Dinner was magnificent! The service was great. The wait staff was very attentive but not pushy. The food was seasoned great! The churro with ice cream for desert was outstanding. They do not give out straws, but neither does anyone else in Playa. This was our second visit to this restaurant and it was even better than last year!

"Even the vegetables are really good." My wife's assessment just about sums it up. Our food at Keel was incredible. And the waitstaff was great, quickly adapting when everyone hurried inside to dodge a sudden downpour. Our waitress, Micaela, was especially attentive. I hope to come back again.

Great

Fantastic beach facing restaurant. We got the guacamole, octopus Mayan style, and some sushi rolls. Guacamole was endless, and the octopus was great. Sushi was decent. The service was excellent.

What a great first stop for my buddy's birthday. Elizabeth took great care of him and got the staff together for an adorable Happy Birthday in Spanish. Well. My Spanish is bad so maybe they are just taunting him. We had the Carmel waffles, the juevos rancheros, and the machaca scrambled eggs. All excellent. I've never had machaca before. It's great. The waffle came with coffee butter. Delicious.

Shrimp appetizer...so good

The food here was so good. We stopped after a long day at Xel Ha and was pleasantly surprised. Andres was out bartender and he made the best drinks; his caprinhas were the best. So refreshing and reasonably priced. We didn't know what to order and he made drinks and shots on the spot and they were good. The dinner we had was also on point, definitely a place to have a nice dinner.

Keel Restaurant downstairs ! Amazing view . There's usually not as much seaweed ..we just came at an unusual time. Nonetheless its beautiful

Service was great and attentive. Food was pretty good as well. Music starts playing around 2 pm so just be prepared for that, it gets noisy.
