The Keg. It's a nicer chain in Canada. They are known for steaks and their summer lobster menu, apparently. I have been to many. They are good. This trip we decided to check out the one in the old mansion downtown. It has a good history. It's haunted. Read up on it when you go. It's gorgeous and very ornate. I should have toured the entire mansion, but I was busy eating.
We had reservations on a Monday night for 3 people at 7:00. Parking was a little confusing, but we pulled it off (it's right in downtown Toronto). We were seated promptly in one of the front rooms. We were offered water and drinks. We had two wines and a mixed cocktail. All were fine. Service throughout the evening was good.
We visited during their 'lobster summer' menu. My dad had big plans to get the lobster and it sounded good to me too. My dad did order the lobster tail. And I thought it would be an even better idea to order the lobster tacos. Wrong. The lobster tail was great (I sampled it). The tacos: The three typical sized tacos had a total of 5 small, fried pieces of lobster (5 total in all 3 tacos). Did I misread the menu? I don't recall seeing the lobster would be fried. It was tasteless (the lobster that is). I was disappointed. It had potential to be good. It had a nice slaw on the tacos that would have went great with a few pieces of (unfried) lobster on it. So I ordered poorly, BUT, those tacos would have been a disappointment, in my opinion, for anyone who ordered them, even if they were ordered as appetizer (which I believe was the idea).
After dinner we checked out the desert menu. What I loved was that they had "mini desserts". Perfect for when you just want a few bites. We ordered a mini brownie with ice cream and whipped cream and a mini creme brulee and a "maxi" (as my dad called it) creme brulee. All were fabulous.
Everything else was great and I would like to go back and order the lobster tail. Someday.
