| - The Keg has always been a staple in our household (especially this location), so I chose to come here last weekend to celebrate my 30th birthday. Let me summarize by saying that overall, it was a major disappointment.
Firstly, I tried making reservations for my party of 6 but the restaurant does not take them for Saturday nights, so it would be on a first come first serve basis. My parents had arrived with my grandparents first and after a bit of a wait, they were seated in a round booth that was meant for 4 people. The hostess put an additional 2 high chairs for me and my wife. When we arrived, the first thing we noticed was that our chairs somewhat impeded traffic, making our seats very uncomfortable. Secondly, it was clear that the table was too small for 6 entrees. This was proven to be true throughout the night as we had to battle with maneuvering numerous hot plates around. We decided not to make a fuss over the seating because it was busy and because I did not want to nitpick over small things on my birthday.
Our server, I have to say, was excellent. She had a great attitude and made different recommendations for my family members which was definitely appreciated. The appetizers were decent as well: we got the bacon wrapped scallops and the calamari like we always do. Unfortunately, it was downhill from there.
My father and my wife ordered the bacon wrapped filet mignon. I had the Oscar sirloin. Our steak entrees were all more or less okay -- not the greatest I've had at The Keg but not anything to complain about. However, my mother and my grandmother both ordered the lobster dinner, which was incredibly, and I mean unacceptably, salty. I thought my mother was exaggerating until I tried her lobster myself. We then spoke to the server about it and she was extremely nice and had the lobsters replaced. However, the replacement lobsters came out just as over-salted, and as many would know, seniors have a tough time eating heavily salted food. Eventually, the manager came to explain that it may just be the batch of lobsters they received that have the salty taste. We did not complain further or ask anything to be comped, mostly because I did not want to cause a ruckus on my 30th birthday, and because our server was incredibly nice (thankful for that).
All in all, I was hugely disappointed with the food quality. It was subpar and somewhat ruined what was to be a great night. The Keg definitely fell short of what it has been to my family in the past, and I think it is safe to say that we will not return to this location in the future.
