I visit this Keg quite frequently whether it's with family or friends. I am focusing on rating the average of my experiences in all fairness, but unfortunately my most recent one was pretty disappointing due to the poor service.
The food has been consistently incredible, there's no doubt about that. I highly recommend either the Filet Mignon for the ultimate experience, or for a more cost effective experience the New York Striploin would be an excellent option as well. In large groups, we seem to get quite a variance in terms of the cookage (i.e. undercooked/overcooked with respect to what we ordered), but the quality is always there. As a side, the twice baked potato is by far the best option.
The ambiance is quite nice as well in terms of lighting, environment, seating, decoration, etc. Definitely appropriate for most occasions.
The service however has been gradually declining for a while. Our latest experience was quite dreadful as we waited at least a half hour over the time we had reserved, and very long between subsequent stages (ordering food and time between meals, etc). The whole night ended up taking nearly 4 hours and it became exhausting. There was also negligible service in terms of feedback or tailoring to any need whatsoever (something as simple as getting water or missing utensils, etc), it was really the bare minimum as if the waiter did not want to be there whatsoever. Honestly if this had been my only experience, I would never go back. However I hope this was a one-time thing and will be remedied in future visits. Certainly not what you would expect from a restaurant of this much prestige.
Overall, the food was worth it, but consistency across the board is very important in order to earn a 5 star review, and the service is just not up to par with usual...
Read moreI'm a frequent visitor to The Keg restaurant, and I can confidently say it's my top choice for a delightful steak dinner. Whether it's a special occasion or just a craving for a well-cooked steak, The Keg never disappoints.
One of the standout features of The Keg is the impeccable service they provide. I've dined there a lot, and the service is always perfect. The staff is attentive, friendly, and they make you feel welcomed from the moment you step in. They are knowledgeable about the menu, offer excellent recommendations, and ensure that your dining experience is nothing short of exceptional.
But, of course, the star of the show is the steak. The quality and consistency of their steaks are unparalleled. Every time I order a steak at The Keg, I know I'm in for a treat. Whether you like it rare, medium-rare, or well-done, the chefs at The Keg always get it right, and the taste is mouthwatering.
The restaurant's ambiance is another reason why I keep going back. It strikes a perfect balance between elegance and comfort. The dimmed lighting, cozy seating, and the aroma of sizzling steaks in the air create a warm and inviting atmosphere. It's equally suitable for a romantic date night or a family celebration.
The menu at The Keg offers a variety of steak options, from classic filet mignon to ribeye, and they also have a range of delicious sides to complement your meal. Their wine selection is impressive, and it pairs perfectly with their steaks.
In summary, The Keg is not just a restaurant; it's an experience. I will continue to return because I know I can count on a perfect steak and exceptional service every time. If you're a steak enthusiast like me, The Keg is a must-visit restaurant that never fails to deliver a memorable...
Read moreCalled to book a table for 4 , person who took the reservation couldn't have been nicer , asked if it was a special occasion and when I told him it was my sister in law birthday he assured me a small cake and candle will be brought to the table at the end of the meal. A nice touch. We were promptly greeted and seated on arrival . Table service was good but sadly that is where it all ended. Appetizer they call escargot which are small mushroom caps seasoned were greasy salty and tasteless as was the garlic shrimp that had low quality shrimps overly salted tasteless and rubbery floating in grease. Shrimp cocktail did not fair much better. One main course of steak and lobster tails had 2 very overcooked lobster tails probably previously frozen and microwaved and a very mediocre steak . Another main , steak and seafood had also a very mediocre steak and few morsels of baby shrimp and a dime size single scallop. My main coarse was a halibut which was overcooked to the point were I felt I was eating dry sawdust. At 205.00 before tip (no alcohol) its a rip off. The Keg is a scam were they have nice comfortable setting , a nice atmosphere ,good service. All in an attempt to pull the wool over people's eyes serving very low quality food . The birthday cake never materialized but it was just as well as we were totally disappointed and and just wanted to pay and leave. Fortunately Montreal is blessed with many many great restaurants were a 200.00 bill for 3 will bring you...
