| - A friend brought me the the Keg a few days ago and I think it was an okay restaurant. The decor (and the waiter!) were super nice-looking. Very spacious and a good ambiance. It was pretty busy, we waited maybe 20 minutes at 6pm on a Thursday to be seated.
I found the service to be excellent, the appetizers very good, but the main meals were so-so. They serve warm, delicious bread, which was great. The apps we ordered were also very good, and served with another type of bread, which was amazing! The apps were garlic butter shrimp (cooked perfectly) with cheese and mushrooms stuffed with crab (this was probably the highlight of the night!)
For our main meals, neither of us ordered steak, so maybe it would have been better if we had. We ordered two dishes which we shared. The first dish was seared sesame tuna. It was served cold over a coleslaw with a sesame dressing. The tuna itself was very good! The salad was not very substantial. I don't think that the dish would have been filling enough had we not ordered appetizers.
The other dish we had was like a chicken 'surf and turf.' It was chicken served with shrimp, scallops, and crab, over mashed potatoes, and asparagus. The mashed potatoes and asparagus were very good, but the chicken was really nothing special; rather bland actually. The shrimp seemed over cooked, surprising, because the appetizer shrimp were perfect. The crab was okay. I didn't try the scallops, so I can't comment.
Overall, I would return for drinks and appetizers, maybe to check out the bar or summer terrasse, but I think I would go elsewhere for meals. I may come back and try a steak, though, considering it is a steakhouse!
