| - The Keg is a great example of a chain that doesn't really feel like a chain, especially when visiting this landmark location.
My husband and I have frequented this restaurant many times and every time we leave happy, from our experience to our bellies. I don't think I have ever had a bad experience at this Keg. The location is a historic old mansion, complete with resident ghost and haunted washrooms, apparently. Most of the staff are versed in the history of the house and will spend the time talking about it and answering questions, which is nice. The first time we visited this location I spent most of the first hour just looking around immersed in the environment. Even though the seating can be tight due to the irregularly small rooms (it was a home at one point) I never feel cramped, just very intimate and cozy.
Staff is always excellent and knowledgeable about the menu. The bread is fine but we never eat it because the real food is just so good you don't want to fill up on plain old bread. For appetizers we order the Thai Calamari which is just excellent, I can't say enough about this little appetizer which is essentially lightly breaded calamari tossed in a chili Thai sauce and served with a tangy honey soy sauce. We also get the spinach dip which is fine, and have started trying the grilled mozzarella flat bread with balsamic glaze which I really enjoy.
For dinner I have the Teriyaki sirloin which I get each and every time and the one time I didn't I was sorry because this steak has the perfect flavour balance in my opinion, but I tend towards sweet/tangy combinations. They tend to be on the safe side of cooking so I order medium rare and it comes closer to medium which is fine. The garlic mashed potatoes are excellent as a side although sometimes they form a slight crust and you can tell they were the first item to be placed on your plate, but still delicious. Sometimes I switch out for fries and they have a nice taste like they have been cooked in bacon grease or something All steaks have a tomato with some melted cheese included on your plate which I never eat and can't comment on but I sometimes feel guilty because it seems like a waste of food!
The only time I didn't order the teriyaki sirloin I ordered the teriyaki chicken and it was actually pretty good but still not as good as the steak counterpart. My husband orders the fillet mignon which he also enjoys.
The Keg has perfected the Cesar and I usually order it or wine.
All in all a great dining experience, from the location to the consistent food and great service. Maybe not the fanciest or trendiest places but definatley one of our faves.
Ps. don't bring a nice car the parking lot is insane!!
