    We decided to splurge and celebrate at the Keg. The food was good…. Very rushed. It seems like we just finished chewing our appetizers and the main course was in front of us. We finished the last bite of the main course and the bill came. While looking at the bill the waitress stood over me with the charge machine in her hand. The waiters are usually extraordinary but ours was abrupt and did not meet the Keg standard. I have to say….. we will not be back. A celebration meal out is supposed to be enjoyable. This was not enjoyable. The whole stay was 1 1/2 hours and that is with a late start in ordering due to the wait staff and a birthday Billy Miner pie. I want to add that the place was not packed and there were a lot of empty tables. . Disappointing to have spent $600. Our previous time we were there, we were asked out by friends, they placed us by their ordering station and all we heard all night was the staff talking and giggling. We couldn't hear the people across from us. But I guess since we are over 60 no one cares where they put the old people. Definitely not the typical Keg behaviour we have known for over 30+ years.

    We are regular visitors to the Keg at Portage and Moray, our almost annual anniversary restaurant to go to. The steaks are always excellent. We love the mashed garlic potatoes and the side vegetables. This year the greens were less exciting. Beets are not our favorite., and that was it for the plate. Typically there is a good mix of vegetables with beans, peppers, squash, etc. It was limited this year. The servers, while energetic, but felt young and unpolished. Wasn't bad, just not the high caliber we've experienced in past years. The biggest drawback was the noise and the space felt like a bonanza of commotion. We had a two person table at the fireplace, which was dark and little lighting on the table. So while I give it a 4 out of 5 rating, perhaps we are going to explore other establishments in future reservations.

    We went to the keg for our anniversary Made a reservation and then we still had to wait got to our table which was nice ordered our drinks. My husband ordered keg size was exactly the same as my drink that was regular. I confirmed with the waiter and he they put the keg size in the small glass now then we ordered our food My husband ordered it and 9 ounce steak. I ordered the small Philly mignon. I think 6 ounces and my steak was way bigger than my husband‘s and we mention this to the waiter and he said oh it shrinks when its being fryer - well. I don’t think it shrinks that much when it was the bigger steak I was very disappointed and it was very expensive for what we had. We also ordered the extra shrimp that were tasteless and very soft, not cooked properly at all.

    Kat was our server and was excellent. We were meeting dear friends we hadn't seen for a while and she was great to give us lots of time ,no pressure. Loved being able to sit outside to enjoy. Always enjoy the Keg.

    Food was good, as expected. Keg Mac & cheese - the noodles were a bit firm.

    Our experience was fantastic. Our food was great— cooked to perfection. Side note: not sure about the new Caesar salad recipe. But not the restaurants fault. Our server did everything right and really enhanced our special evening out as a family. Attentive, professional, caring. Whenever we had an empty plate a team member was quick to clear it. This was refreshing to see and made our experience that much better. Well done to all.
