| - Take the veritable Keg chain menu, add a Victorian era mansion, sprinkle in tales of ghosts and you'll have the Keg Mansion.
It's as if Ruth's Chris suddenly purchased the Merchant's House in NYC and preserved the exterior in a mashup called "Ruth's Chris House".
I've dined at Kegs before while visiting other parts of Canada and was quite pleased to discover this particular location, given the unique environs. It's not every day I get to eat in a historical mansion.
On a Sunday night at 10pm the place was still buzzing but reservations were not required. According to the hostess, the prime wait time is usually 6-9pm.
Many tables featured well dressed people. Our table was not in that category but we felt comfortable enough and were treated as if we were indeed puttin' on the ritz.
The service here was exceptionally good. Genuinely friendly people seemed to work here, from our first encounter to the last good bye.
The menu is typical Keg and by that I mean steak-heavy (although salads, chicken and ribs are available).
We started with an appetizer baked goat cheese which was presented with crushed almonds, tomato salsa and crostini. We made it through all of our crostini and were promptly given more. The warm goat cheese was easy to spread on the crostini and even easier to eat.
For my steak course I selected the grilled top sirloin, keg size please. (Price difference is 19.95 vs 23.95- I was hungy!)
The steak arrived with a baked potato (sour cream) and a tomato slice. Somewhat spartan but sides are available to augment the entree.
My sirloin was ordered medium and arrived just how I like it. My wife's request for well was also honored.
New york strips are available as are rib steak, filet mignon, prime rib-- the beefeater will not want here.
The Keg's sweet temptations dessert was a sensible way to ,ahem, watch calories but also indulge the sweet teeth. There are five mini dessert shots to choose room so we split an order of three for $6.95. The banana caramel shot had a rich, butterscotch flavor that had me wishing for a sudden size increase. Lemon blueberry and chocolate fudge were also small but deadly good.
No ghosts were observed during the eating of this meal. I'd highly recommend that the Travel Channel's Ghost Adventures, Sci-Fi's TAPS and any other ghost crew stop by to investigate , probably come up empty on the paranormal front but have an excellent Keg meal.
