  • There's so many different scales to rate on (Keg vs Keg, Keg vs other steakhouses) and this Keg falls short on all of them. "I have just got a new theory of Eternity." - Albert Einstein: Same feels. If you want a glimpse into eternity come wait at this Keg. We were quoted a wait of 30-45 minutes. This quote was faster than the other nearby Kegs (on Leslie and in Ajax) which was promising but was just a lie. There's a little window into the dining room at the front where I was waiting and there were many uncleared tables and even tables with settings on them. Somehow there was still a wait. Either the kitchen/servers are understaffed and not able to keep up with that many tables OR the front of house is sloppy and slow. I'm pretty sure it was the latter. Other tables with the same number of guests were jumping the queue in front of us. We watched at least two tables sign in, get handed a pager and then get called before us. I will note that at some point the lady who took our names went on break so someone else took over. I'm still not sure why this should matter since their pager system should track this. When we did finally get our table things were looking up with our waiter who patiently explained the specials to us. Our roller coasters small climb sharply dropped downhill when he disappeared for an unreasonable amount of "I'll be back with waters and bread" time. I'll admit that this was a compounding problem as we were hungry and fed up from waiting. When we finally got to order, it finally felt like we weathered the worst of the storm and it should be comfortable sailing from then on. "But we found out: the drink could not state us, and the food turned to ashes in our mouths, and no amount of pleasant company could ease our torment." - Captain Hector Barbossa: If the food was worth the wait, all could be forgiven. The warm bread was a small reprieve but not what I came for. We were planning on a dessert so we didn't order an appetizer. I ordered the 10 oz prime rib, medium rare. The prime rib looked really appetizing but was a little dry (the au jus was a must versus an option) and seemed to be more medium than medium rare as it was quite firm. I'll award some points on the outer Keg rub being nice. So on a scale of ordering steak at Kelsey's to Jacobs, I'd think the Keg would be somewhere in the middle of that spectrum. I understand The Keg is a chain restaurant which is already off putting to the food snobs out there but I think for most people the name does evoke connotations of quality, especially at the $$$ price. It just wasn't there on this occasion. We finished off our meal with a Billy Miner pie which is The Keg's signature dessert. This luckily was able to leave a sweeter taste in our mouths, literally and figuratively. "Forget what hurt you but never forget what it taught you." - Shannon L. Alder: Sayonara Scarborough Keg!
