| - My friend and I went for dinner a couple weeks ago and I joked that I always get the same thing (Keg Classic dinner) so this time I'm trying something different. We have been wanting to check out the Keg Mansion since moving to Toronto, so we finally went. It was surprisingly busy at 6pm on a Sunday. The place was absolutely packed.
I personally don't know anyone who doesn't love the Keg. If I've ever had any issue with my food, they've always been very quick to make things right. The service is what puts them above some other steak joints out there, and let's face it - they know how to cook a steak. Unfortunately, this trip to the Keg Mansion was slightly lacking in the service department - which is why I couldn't give five stars. Our server seemed like she was bored - I don't think she smiled once. But she brought our food and drinks in a timely manner, so I can't really complain about her skills as a server. Perhaps she was just having an off day.
I asked my friend if he wanted to split an appetizer, and we agreed on the escargot. Then we both decided on... the Keg Classic filet mignon dinner. Hahaha - one of these days, I'll have something else, I just know it.
The food, as usual, was excellent. The escargot was garlicky and buttery, served with a soft dinner roll to soak up all that goodness. Followed by a perfectly cooked medium rare filet mignon, and fully loaded baked potato. What more can you ask for? Even the veggies and sautéed mushrooms were seasoned well and perfectly cooked. Although I don't eat a lot of red meat, any time I'm craving a good steak, I know I'll find one at the Keg!
