| - I've always been a fan of The Keg. Went back here for my hubby's birthday and we managed to swindle a table for 5 on the front patio at peak after-work-hours (we had friends head over earlier). The back patio was RIDICULOUSLY packed, so that wasn't even an option, however, that was where we ideally wanted to be. After seeing the madness both inside (which was freezing due to the blasting A/C), and the craziness out back, we were REALLY happy with the front patio score. We could actually hear each other speaking and we got people-watching traffic.
As per usual, and per Keg style, the customer service was excellent, and all our food was awesome. Only reason I don't give The Keg five stars is because there's usually a case of "I ordered medium-rare and this is rare" or some sort of slight mix-up with the cooked-to-your-liking choice, and have had overly-sinewy cuts before. It's not a huge deal, but it is a steak house. And you do pride yourself on being able to cook it to perfection. Staff has always done something to ensure I left happy (a free slice, on the house meal, etc.). The GMs are really good at what they do and it shows in the staff's performance too.
Last night's meal, for me, was perfection. Pecan, goat cheese, sirloin. Cooked Chicago-style-medium-well. Normally, I wouldn't get it so done, but I'm pregnant and want it cooked.
I would always recommend The Keg if anyone would ask if they should go.
