| - WOW! This was my reaction to walking into the historic Keg mansion. I love the architecture that dates back to Confederation. I could spend all night exploring the different rooms and studying the intricacies of the banister carvings. But clearly this isn't a review site for architecture but for FOOD!
While the wait on a Saturday night (the only night they do not take reservations) was a bit long, the wait was between 1 hour 15 minutes - 1 hour 30 minutes, honestly it was 7:15pm on a Saturday night, I expected this. We got a little pager (fyi it doesn't work outside) and went to the bar, which was equally rammed and got a drink. We managed to snag the window seat, located between the first and second flight of stairs. Had our drink and proceeded to wait.
Approximately 25 minutes into our wait a nice lady came up to us with a platter of sample appetizers and I got to try the most delicious crab mixture on a crispy flat bread...YUM! Ok so now that my thirst and a bit of my hunger was quenched, another server came along and asked if we wanted to order appetizers, in any other case I would have totally said yes but I was waiting as my hunger had been temporarily satisfied.
By a little after 8pm, we were seated. Not a bad guesstimation hostess lady friend. Our server named Kevin, who bore a striking resemblance to our lovely CM Vivek, quickly came by and greeted us and took our water preference. Honestly, I can't say anything bad about this server, he was prompt and came and checked on us at the perfect times, although there was one somewhat long stretch in which I didn't see him at all, but I'm just nit picking now because I didn't require his service. What really sealed it in for me was at one point, my partner and I were in an intense part of a conversation (don't worry it wasn't arguing) but he took note of this and decided that it would be better if he didn't interrupt on this particular moment...5 STAR RATING FOR KEVIN!!!!
What can I say about the food, it was Keg-tastic. Prime rib was cooked to perfection, I ordered rare and was informed by wonderful Kevin that it may come medium rare as they may not have that cut but it came rare and it was delicious! I asked for my veggies to be simply blanched as I did not enjoy having garlic or butter on them and they came naked!
Now let's get to the best part and the main reason that I decided to come to the Keg. The BILLY MINER PIE!!!!!!!!!!!! I seriously come here just to have dessert. The mocha ice cream atop of an oreo cookie crumb crust, drizzled with caramel and chocolate sauce with almond shavings..... *DROOOOOOOOLLL* I enjoyed this dessert so much that my neighbour said, "Excuse me, but what is that you are eating?!" with the most curious look on his face. People might've have thought that I achieved Moksha or something! I never have to look at the dessert menu at the Keg, I actually don't even know what else they serve but I don't care, because the Billy Miner Pie seriously satisfies every one of my cravings.
Thank you Keg Mansion for scaring the crap out of me, we decided to read about how it was haunted while waiting and for providing me with wonderful stories to tell another day.
