| - If you come to this location, Brandon is a fantastic server! Personable, quick, knows his menu.
The Arizona Restaurant Week prix fixe menu is a deal!
My husband had the Baked Garlic Shrimp, the 20oz Rib Steak, Twice Baked Potato side, and Carrot Cake - which isn't on the prix fixe menu but since they were out of créme bruleé they opened up the dessert choices. I had the Baked Garlic Shrimp, Prime Rib Oscar, Baked Potato, and Brownie Sundae - also not a prix fixe dessert.
The garlic shrimp is good, but we both agreed it would have been better without the cheese. The shrimp is in individual containers; the bowl makes me think of an egg poaching dish. The sweet roll to sop up the garlic and melted butter left in the cups is tasty and a smart addition.
My prime rib was fantastic, perfectly cooked with a hearty au jus. I would NOT get it oscar style again though. The scallop, shrimp, and aspagus were perfectly cooked in a delicious hollandaise. The only issue was it didn't 'go' with the prime rib flavor to me. Both were good separate, but should stay that way. The potato was a standard baked potato, small, and more places really need to learn to be like Black Angus and salt the outside for fluffier potatoes.
My husband's Rib Steak was juicy and perfectly cooked. It had great flavor. The Twice Baked Potato was fantastic. Large, and oh so delicious! I don't usually like Twice Baked potatoes, but I will definitely get that in the future.
Dessert, oh dessert. We were both pretty full by this time, but it was included. I was sad not to b able to try the creme bruleé, but what I got was good! I don't usually like vanilla ice cream, but Haagen daz! The brownies were tasty, and oh so decadent. I would definitely get that again. My husband said the carrot cake was moist, sweet and delicious. I don't like carrot cake but can't say anything bad about my bite.
Overall I'm glad we gave the Keg a second chance, especially this location. Our experience at the Tempe Marketplace location was not nearly as good.
This is definitely going in our date night rotation! Thanks Brandon, and everyone else at the Keg :)
