  • This Keg is located right near the south west corner of Dixon and Carlingview. I live so close but really never paid much attention to the structure really ever being here. I can tell it's been here for a while though. This building is one of the "old school" Keg structures that has the feeling of being like a European chalet or something like that. There is a similar old structure like this one near The West Mall and Bloor but that recently closed down and a new one opened at Sherway Gardens on the north side (new section). Parking, I found a spot. This place looked quite busy and it's in a busy place with the airport right there and all the hotels nearby. Take into account we came on a Thursday evening on a long weekend (Friday was Canada Day) but there was no waiting for a table for 2. We were seated in a small room near the back corner not at a booth but just a small table. There was a large party in that room as well. The lighting is dim and soft. It's not that loud in that small room but the discussion the other table was having was loud enough to hear. They were from Dallas don't you know... not hard to figure it out since we can hear their entire discussion. We had been sitting for a while and not been served but somebody eventually asked us if Christina has been by to check on us yet. I had said not yet. She apologized and said she have her come right over and asked if we had wanted to order a drink? I appreciate that Christina's colleague would help her out like that. We did order drinks and eventually Christina came by. We had a long enough time to go through the menu so I had ordered for us. I had asked for the 14oz prime rib and my wife had wanted the 6oz sirloin with seafood on the summer special menu. I had also asked for escargot and a caesar to start. Christina suggested that she would be able to combine the prime rib and the caesar into the classic meal so the salad would be included. I had thought only the 10oz could be in the classic but she assured me she'd put it together. Our appetizers came out ahead of the meal as requested (I always say to start if I prefer it first, not to mention not all the plates would fit on this table for two) and we shared both. The salad was fresh and had a generous amount of cheese. We weren't offered fresh ground pepper come to think of it. That would have been nice. The escargot while decent weren't fabulous. It's been a while since I last had this type of app, probably at Red Lobster and while it's not as salty or garlic buttery it still has a good taste but not as flavorful. When our mains came the prime rib looked really good and really big. The mashed potatoes seemed pretty bland though. The side horsh radish wasn't as strong as I'd hope. The cut of the prime rib was generous and it wasn't bad but it wasn't as good as others I've had elsewhere. My wife enjoyed her steak. She doesn't like blood at all so she usually asks for medium well. I don't like it cooked so well. I didn't try hers but she ate it all and she said it was good. Overall this Keg location didn't seem that great to me. While I really like the mansion location in the city this location didn't really impress me and while the service and attention was good the food was just at par on this particular evening for me. It wasn't bad but it wasn't great either. The last time I went out for a nice prime rib it was at Canyon Creek for Valentine's day and in my mind that was just a better overall experience and meal. I don't go to have 100 dollar meals that often but when I do I kind of expect them to be a bit better than every day type experiences. This one was just OK.
