  • My wealthy barber friend took 6 of us here for my big birthday dinner a couple of weeks ago. I've been to 3 other Keg locations in the Toronto GTA (4 if you include the location at 12 Church St around the corner which has since closed and relocated to this address) as this new location opened in March 2010 so my first visit here. The decor is really nice and contemporary with a big bar in the centre and several fireplaces. The Keg Mansion on Jarvis has the old world charm but this location takes the cake for reflecting our current times. It's almost like a page out of those condo magazines... very urban and busy being right across from the Novotel hotel and Sony Centre. We originally intended on going to the mansion location but they were fully booked so last minute we decided to come here. Lucky it was a weekday evening as it doesn't accommodate large groups (12-14 max) since it has booths and not many tables in the middle. It's spacious inside with lots of ambiance and clear walking for the wait staff to bring their large plates to your table. First, don't go to a seafood joint and expect good burgers. If you're coming here for seafood or chicken, I recommend you seek another place to eat as you may be disappointed. This is a steak house. A minor beef (sorry for the pun) is the table we had was higher than normal as I checked the surrounding ones which were shorter. It was a booth but we had no choice as it one of the few that could take 7 people. So it was a bit strange cos I felt like I was sitting in a high chair... good I suppose for a big cry baby like me :D Enough blabbing about restaurant design... great sizzle here too as it's not just the steak that is hot but so is the eye candy. That aside, best steak in the house... rib eye. Prime rib is good and so is the New York sirloin. The surprise of the menu is the calamari appetizer (only if you like spicy squid done properly) and trust me on this cos I'm not even a big fan of fishy or chewy calamari... this one is perfect. The big surprise came at the end of the meal when I couldn't take another morsel of food and the waitress brought me a large piece of birthday cake compliments of the house! I asked her for 7 forks so we split it as there was no way I was going to put that down solo. It was delicious and apparently special for the Keg so you won't find it elsewhere. Service was very good, food was excellent, ambiance was great and my overall rating is 5 stars to cap off a superb evening. It's not cheap as you'll expect to dish out about $50 per person but it's good value. I've been to Morton's and paid double that but felt I got less value for the same quality. I strongly recommend you go on your birthday... but do make reservations to avoid disappointment. We liked it so much, that we booked our annual company holiday dinner here. Bon appetite!
