| - Took the future in-laws and the family out to the Keg at Desert Ridge last Friday, and I must say, I was pretty impressed. There was a short wait at 5:00pm for a table for 5, just for set-up. Within minutes we were seated. Service was attentive without being overbearing. My Jack-n-Coke was friendly, the way I like it. The gf's foo-foo Mango something or other was also good/strong. Tasty shrimp cocktail app and a basket of bread kicked off the feeding frenzy, both on the higher end of things. I had the classic fillet, wrapped in bacon (!!) served with salad, veggie and a baked. My steak was great, perfectly done. GF split a steak and crab legs with the kid. Server split the plate, and brought out two potatoes/sides. Above and beyond, adding to the service. Also ordered were ribs, delicous and tender, and the prime rib sandwich, very good, too. It met or exceeded my expectations, and I will be back. Bit pricey, but well within what I expected to pay for the environment and food quality. Next time, though, I think we'll leave the kid and the parents at home, for a more intimate dinner experience.
Edit: I'm not sure where that map is pointing (near my old stomping grounds, actually, but not anywhere near the actual restaurant) It's in Phoenix, not Paradise Valley. Just so's you know where you're going, if you decide to go...
