If it hadn't been for the awful steak, I would have given this 3 stars! Admittedly, I went for a Winterlicious-type menu, so perhaps if I'd ordered the steak at full price it might have been better, but honestly it was mushy and stringy and tough all at the same time. I've cooked better steaks than that - and that's the one thing I think can only be done well at a steakhouse!
However, there are some great points to Canyon Creek. If I am to compare solely to The Keg (and I love the Keg):
- ambiance cozy (but I like the Keg better)
- the Caesar salad is really great
- shrimp (as part of my surf'n'turf) were awesome
- great honey butter with the grains bread
- no problems with the wine list
- Keg desserts better (but who can top the Billy Miner pie?)
Thus, I say: go to the Keg instead if you have the option! But do join the Canyon Creek email list. They have AMAZING deals on wine each Thursday. It would be worth the trip just for that (and the Caesar salads)!
