| - I think I'm the only person who has never been to The Keg before (I've never been a big steak eater)...but I thought it was due time, so we went to The Keg - Yonge & Eglinton to celebrate my partner's birthday yesterday. I am usually really picky when celebrating special occasions and I have to say that this place exceeded all of my expectations.
Reservation: No resos on weekends from 6-9ish, but that's okay because we wanted a late dinner anyway. We showed up at 9:15, and only had to wait a couple of minutes. Got a nice and spacious table.
Food: So delicious that I only remembered to photograph our calamari appetizer. Woops. We ordered some sparkling water, wine, calamari, New York Striploin Keg Classic (x2) which came with salads, veggies (usually mushrooms but I hate mushrooms so they subbed it out for delicious asparagus and peppers), a side (I got the twice baked potato...it's MARVELLOUS! The star of the meal - get it!!! My partner got French fries and they were tasty too) and I added on lobster tails with butter for dipping. We finished with two cakes, cheesecake and the signature coffee ice cream cake. 50000 calories later and I was left smiling and satisfied.
Service: A+ all around. From the hostesses, to the food runners and our server himself - everyone was kind and making jokes, happy to suggest items and eager to help make my partner's birthday very special. Perfect attentive service, in my opinion.
Atmosphere: it's dark and spacious, romantic and classy - nothing to write home about, but it's great for dates, birthdays, whatever!
Cost: the bill for two *including* tip was about $200ish. Considering we got fancy $6.50 water (lol), wine, appetizers, salad, steak, lobster, sides, etc. and all of it was simply delicious...I'd say that is a very reasonable price for a special occasion!
Overall, I would definitely go back to this location and would be happy to suggest it to anyone going on a very nice date or celebrating a special moment.
