| - I was surprisingly disappointed last night as my husband and I ate at The Keg for our 36th wedding anniversary. We have eaten at The Keg before and loved it, which is why we chose to return. We were seated at a wonderful corner table with round seating just for the two of us. The waitress and all other staff were efficient, courteous and friendly, yet professional. Our issue was with the food, and specifically with our entrees. First off, The Keg had a weird menu that night, and I think it's temporary, where the only choices were crab and steak. I chose the Dungeness Crab ($31) and my husband had New York Steak embellished with crab and other seafood ($33). My crab was a lot of work to crack open and all, which for some reason I just didn't remember I'd be doing that when I ordered it. So I was up to the task, but the crab meat inside was just very mediocre and a bit discolored....measly, not plump and luscious. The garlic potatoes accompanying my crab were dry, and I had to keep taking drinks of water between each bite. My husband's steak was the worst. It was tough to chew (even though it was medium rare) and seemed to be fettered with some kind of gristly meshing. We purchase our beef from a frozen foods delivery truck to eat at home. Our beef is at least 50 times better than what we ate at The Keg. The Keg was aware it was our anniversary, as was our waitress, yet nothing special was done as it normally is when we go out to celebrate something special. Usually restaurants (like Flemings, Va Bene, and Lon's) will bring a special little dessert or chocolates for us to share to commemorate the occasion. I don't think we'll be returning to The Keg for quite awhile now. There are so many other wonderful restaurants out there.
