Recommended by a friend who has visited Toronto before, accompanied by a true Torontarian foodie, we went to the Keg on King!! The foodie - friend had not visited since their revamp.
We got nicely welcomed in a dim light, trendy yet comfortable bar. Dinner in the dining room had our preference. So we decided to enjoy cocktails while waiting for our table at the bar. Well made, good thought of, great presented cocktails.
At the table we were welcomed by Laura who turned out to be one of those "I love my job sooooo much" kinda hospitality tigers. She picked up on the jokes, made a few herself and made the evening amazingly nice.
The food was very nice, what you would expect from a steakhouse. Lobster gratinee... wow!!!! Cardiac Delight, but worth dying for. Crab cakes which actually consisted of 99%crab meat!!! The prime rib was cooked to perfection. And so was the NY strip my friend had. No more room for sweets, but what a pleasant surprise this encounter with the Keg was.
Out of 10 points? 9 for interior, 10 for the food and a fullblown 11 for the service (mostly earned by Laura)
A favorite new hangout!!
