| - Great food and Great Service
The thing is, I've had several bad experiences at the Keg in the past. They rarely managed to cook my steak the way I ordered it. So, when we decided to meet up for a business meeting and dinner at the Keg Mansion, I was a little worried, but none-the-less hopeful I'd be eating a great steak. And so it goes, I had a great steak.
Before eating, I started with the Keg's "Perfect Manhattan" and I'd say it was pretty good. Served with a giant ice cube, the way it should be, which is nice to see and made the drink all that much more enjoyable.
We started with a Caesar salad, and it was really great. I'm a Caesar fanatic, so I know a good one when I'm eating one. Just the right amount of dressing, good garlic, pepper and lemon levels. Really good, I could have eaten another.
I have never had a rib steak before, but my dining partner suggested I give it a try, especially since I'm a New York fan. The Keg serves theirs bone-in, weighing in at 20 oz. Ok, so the bone itself is probably 5 of those 20. It looked great on the plate, and I polished off every last morsel, the bone stripped, how should I say, to the bone. It was really outstanding, and cooked to perfection!
The baked potato - twice baked - was excellent as well. Scooped out and loaded, the insides are placed back in the potato once the skin has been cooked again, making for a crispy outside and soft and silky inside. Y.U.M.
We didn't have dessert, but I had a craving for Billy Miner pie. If you haven't tried it, and you like coffee ice cream, it's really great.
Service was excellent from the time I arrived until the time we left. Very attentive and helpful throughout the evening.
