| - Came here on a Wednesday evening around 5:30 p.m.; the place got pretty full around 6:00 p.m., so it may be beneficial to have a reservation in place.
The complimentary bread at The Keg has always been my favourite - it is quite possibly the softest bread that I have tasted; coupled with the freshness and warmth from the bread, it serves as a perfect vehicle to hold and melt the butter. It was absolutely delicious!
MAIN: Arctic Char
While the salmon itself was very moist and well-seasoned, the overall dish was extremely oily. As a result of the oil, my throat began to feel rather uncomfortable, immediately drinking four cups of water to help soothe the discomfort. The blistered tomatoes were also quite sour. I personally would not recommend this dish or order it again.
SERVICE: Acceptable
I've been to the Richmond Hill Keg on multiple occasions, but this has been the first time where I have left rather dissatisfied with the service. The server was quite frankly, rude, when I mentioned that in the past, I would have a tilapia-based dish and that it was no longer on the menu. He abruptly asked how long ago I had eaten at The Keg, to which I responded last year. In response, he chuckled and said (and I paraphrase), "No way - we definitely didn't have that dish." One of my friends that I was eating with agreed that his tone and demeanor was both condescending and disrespectful. While I did not appreciate that encounter, our server did visit our table often to fill up our waters.
