Pleasantly surprised!
I've been by this location about 100 times, and saw it pop up on Open Table so gave it a whirl to start our Christmas vacation.
Being superfans of the Keg, we spent most of the dinner comparing the two. I don't know much about the Chop chain (seems to be mostly out west), but I definitely liked the service from start to finish. The seating booth was comfortable and we liked the cage lighting fixtures. Some neat hat light fixtures as well.
They have this tasty Veltliner wine, I'm a huge fan of Veltliner. Extra star for that. Such a fun, easy drinking wine.
Crab/Shrimp Cakes to start, very good indeed!
Of course I had the Teriyaki Sirloin to compare, and was very happy with the portion. Cooked perfectly. Patti had the Prime Rib, which was huge! Great portions for both.
Can't remember if we got dessert, was a long holiday...
But we'll definitely return! Not sure if it will break into the Keg area of my heart, but happy we took the drive out!
