I stood outside and pondered, why am I here when I'm not a beer guy? Easy answer: Family meal. (And for the record, I married into a wonderful family so meals like this are always fun).
We buried The P's mom earlier this week and we still had a number of family friends in town. Decided to do a group meal and since it was a school night, I wouldn't have to cook-we'd go out. That's a win right there.
I had been to The Keg one other time years ago for a Happy Hour and had enjoyed the apps but this was my first time in the dining room. The Resturant is a step above Outback and maybe a step below Mortons or Maestros (in price at least for the latter). They offer a full bar and a number of signature cocktails. I went with the burnt orange Manhattan and it was delicious (I had two just to compare :). Extensive wine list kept The Princess and her sister happy.
I ordered from The Keg Classic menu. Petite filet (medium rare), asparagus, mac and cheese, and a wonderful wedge salad. I had been to Ocean Prime the night before and the filets were nearly identical-perfect little pieces of deliciousness. Whereas OP generously decorated the plate with three asparagus spears, The Keg loaded me down with at least 8 oz of asparagus-bonus! The meal also came with amazing freshly baked sourdough break-warm enough to melt the butter.
We shared key lime pie, crème brûlée, and a ice cream/fudge/nut concoction for dessert. Great meal all the way around. Service was fantastic, meal value was as expected and I'm looking forward to going back!
