| - Keg Steakhouse + Bar is a steakhouse chain in Canada. The restaurant has a great atmosphere - friendly staff, dimmed lighting, music playing in the background, and walls are decorated with abstract art. The restaurant has a full bar and the bartenders are nice enough to charge your cellular devices behind the bar. The restaurant was packed, the service was a bit slow (1.5 hour) but the manager was apologetic and attentive. He personally delivered our food and made sure we got everything we needed. It showed that he really cared about customer satisfaction. What he did really significantly improved our dining experience that evening!
For drinks, we shared a pitcher of Red Sangria. It was garnished with orange, cranberries, and raspberries. It was fruity and refreshing.
While we were waiting on our entrees, our server brought us warm bread (fresh from the oven) and whipped butter.
Shortly after, those that ordered appetizers received them. The Keg Caesar Salad consisted of freshly chopped romaine lettuce, shredded aged parmesan, and garlic herb croutons tossed in house made creamy Caesar dressing.
The men in the party ordered the Key Prime Rib Classic. They had a choice of 10oz or 14oz. Both went with the smaller piece of prime rib served medium rare. It was a nice generous serving of tender red meat - not too lean and not too fat. It was served with your choice of salad and seasonal vegetables (e.g., red bell peppers, green beans, asparagus, and mushrooms). My brother added a baked potato loaded with butter.
I ordered the Pistachio Encrusted Salmon. The Atlantic Salmon was brushed with maple butter and encrusted with pistachios. It was served with buttery garlic mashed potatoes and bacon sautéed brussel sprouts. The salmon was fresh and the combination of ingredients made the entree a
sweet and savory one.
My mom ordered the Sesame Tuna. The Ahi Tuna was seared rare and served with cabbage slaw in a soy sesame dressing. The tuna was not as fresh as the salmon as it was a bit fishy to taste.
Since it was my dad's birthday, they brought out a slice of Billy Miner Pie, which consisted of mocha ice cream on chocolately oreo crust, drizzled with hot fudge and caramel sauce and garnished with almonds. It was the first time I've had Billy Miner Pie and it was so delicious I wanted seconds.
