Looking for a nice steakhouse-style dinner my wife and I were on the lookout for a great place to go. Where did we find the answer, well none other than Yelp of course. Located close by and what appeared to be a very nice environment we settled on The Keg.
When walking up to the restaurant, which is attached to a mall, we were not expecting too much on the inside. However, when you enter you are immediately reminded that you are dinning at a steakhouse. With tall ceilings and dark lighting, the mood was set for a relaxing and intimate dinner. The décor was modern without being overdone. The restaurant felt cozy and inviting while have a small touch of masculinity.
We sat down at our table and our server promptly came by and got our drink order. My wife got the white sangria and I a local hefeweizen. Both of which were remarkable and tasty. Not being hungry enough we just got meals. While waiting for our food we received complimentary bread. It was good but noting to write home about. When my chicken came to the table it made my mouth water and I was eager to eat it. The chicken itself was cook perfectly with a crispy skin and a juicy and succulent center. Served over a bead of asiago rice with a sweet chili sauce over the top. The flavors overall were great, a nice play between textures and the sweet and spicy. Overall, a very good dish and something I would recommend to anyone who is looking for something a little lighter but not lacking any flavor.
The major drawback to our experience overall was the service. Other that being prompt when we first got there our server kind of fell off. She was never rude or impolite, however, while waiting for another drink and the food we noticed her just standing and chatting. Overall experience was good, just a few minor things that could be cleaned up and honed in on.
