| - I have to update my review based on two recent visits. A friend and I have birthdays within two days of each other, and they won't let us both use the birthday coupons at the same time. Annoying, but allowable. We decided to go twice and just split the bill both times.
The first visit, as a standalone, would have been a two star review. I ordered the blue cheese fillet. The "blue cheese" was some unappetizing whipped butter with a slight taste of blue cheese that was very disappointing. I'm used to steak houses that have tasty blue cheese crumbles on the steak, not a whipped concoction. Their French onion soup is very good though. The waiter on this night was very phony and icky-sweet and would be better suited to sell insurance instead of work at a restaurant.
We weren't really looking forward to the second visit, but decided to give it a second chance and not order the same thing. It would have scored a four star review on the visit last night. I ordered the peppercorn steak which had a tangy mushroom sauce on top along with lots and lots of peppercorns. Twice baked potato was great as well. I ordered a side of creamy horseradish for the steak. We had the Tempura Snap Peas & Asparagus for an appetizer which were an odd choice for a steak house, but were very good nonetheless. Our waitress was attentive, fun, and knowledgeable. Just what you want.
Will I go back? Next year for the birthday meal for sure, but otherwise is a tossup. The Keg kind of falls in the middle ground of steak restaurants. I love Lone Star for a casual steak and if I want a great date-night or special event steak, I will always go to either Durant's or Fleming's. The Keg is conveniently located to me, so there is that possibility.
