I love the Keg. It’s our go to restaurant for an easy but more than ordinary dinner out. Thefood is reliable and usually well prepared. Every once in while though someone gets a heavy hand with the seasoning and last night was one of those times. TOO MUCH SALT!!!! I like my salt but I really lost the flavour of my entire meal.

6 of us had reservations for dinner before a Leaf game. We we're running late due traffic but the Keg was very understanding and held our reservation. Once we arrived, we were seated promptly. Dinner went well with great food, great atmosphere and great service. The dark tones in the restaurant make everything feel real cozy. No complaints, other than the Leafs losing game 7 as usual LOL Thanks Keg, for a great dinner experience.

I was celebrating my girlfriend's birthday. The hostess said that she would inform the person looking after us. There was a confusion between 2 of the servers who was waiting on us, as one didn't know if they should serving us or not. Once that was sorted, after our appetizers, I was left with no cutlery and wasn't asked or given new ones. I constantly had to look out for my server to request things. I ended up asking other servers that walked by for water, cutlery, more wine, etc. After our meal, I was left with the dessert menu. Shortly after that, I was then left with a bill. I wasn't asked if we wanted dessert, if we were celebrating a special occasion (the hostess did ask, but I guess it wasn't relayed on). I paid the bill and vowed never to return to that location.

I did have a steak that was slightly over cooked and due to the fact it was a filet mignon with very little fat, it was dried a bit. They replaced it and made me happy with my new steak. Because of this I was very satisfied with the service and the quality

Shannon - the waitress lady was outstanding; she knew perfectly the menu and wine card so she gave us a proper wine suggestion. Food was also great - coctail shrimp, bacon wrapped scallops, filet mignon, prime rib. Jumbo shrimps on the side, twice baked potatoes and asparagus did not disappoint.

I'm afraid I don't remember our server's name, but she was outstanding! My daughter and I drove down from north of Barrie to see a show at Meridian Hall on May 5th. The earliest we could make it down made it so we had to rush dinner somewhat. Our server was most accommodating, despite the chaos we threw her way. The meal, as always, was excellent. Thank you for easing some of the rushed stress we were feeling, and for ensuring that we made it to the show in plenty of time!!

We've had several birthday dinner parties here recently. This was a nice celebration although the service was pretty slow --- long wait for our meals. High noise level (but we're glad that the restaurant is busy). We were celebrating three birthdays and we appreciated the good birthday desserts. We'll be back.

We originally wanted a booth but none available and our seat was close to the door asked to be moved which the hostess did to a better table and our server Brandon was great . Another server brought the bill but put everything on one without asking would we like two bills as it was us and another couple.
