The Keeper 469.210.5337

 

We’re talking fresh fish here. Yes, right here in our land-locked North Texas suburb, sits a world-class seafood restaurant. In fact, The Keeper is one of the five best restaurants in Plano.

If you enjoy a bit of fishing yourself, you’ll know that some fish you catch just go right back into the water. However, that one fish, caught on that rare, magical occasion, is simply perfect. Yep, it’s a keeper.

The Keeper serves nothing but seafood flown in daily from only the very best fishmongers. Restaurant mavin, Alexandra Croninis is quoted as saying of the restaurant’s penchant for perfection, “Precious red king crab is pinched up from misty Alaskan waterways and steamed with drawn butter. Wild-caught sablefish from the cold, contemplative North Pacific floats with summer vegetables in a tomato broth. Hawaii yields opah, a brilliantly colored species also called moonfish, and monchong, a meaty species of pomfret that resides in deep waters and can weigh over 25 pounds. The menu is liable to change with the day’s haul.”

The Keeper is a sustainably focused seafood restaurant and wine bar, bringing you fresh fish and vibrant flavors. Wild-caught seafood, captivating recipes and craft cocktails are what you can expect and are designed to dissolve stress and transport you away from the mundane. Flavor Hunters and Freshness Seekers, you've come to the right place.

We promise it’s a Keeper!
