The Keg Steakhouse + Bar - Yonge + Eglinton — Restaurant in Toronto

Underwhelming!!! Our server, Shireen, was great….but it dropped off after that!!! This was entirely based on one change…..they packed in as many tables as they could fit!!! One table near us in the centre of the room had 3 sets of guests ask to be moved….that’s because as the servers were delivering food to those of us along the perimeter they walked around this table at and the person on that side felt someone was continually walking behind them!!! But the overcrowding caused other unintended consequences…the surrounding noise was too high, so people talked louder. Service seemed slower, not that we were in any hurry, as the kitchen tried to keep up!! Even the greeters at the front looked a little stressed. I’ve been going to the Keg since the eighties, at just about every one in Greater Toronto from Yonge Street east, more times than I can remember. I’ve also given their gift cards as a quality gift/reward. In fact we were at this restaurant in October 2021, during the last throes of the Pandemic and had such an enjoyable dinner that we reserved Saturday night to repeat the experience. If this had been my first time….I would probably would have felt that having tried it, I’m not sure I liked it. In fact I’m not sure I’ll come back to this location again, even though we live just 15 minutes or so away!!! You can easily average something near $!00 per person per turnover at this location, especially on a Saturday night…..why push it with extra tables!! The Keg isn’t going to suffer a recession any time soon, so why squeeze it too much. The Keg has always been a class restaurant, they shouldn’t spoil it by crowding the floor. The French Onion soup was great…..but then again it’s a prepackage foodservice product zapped in a...

The food value was about what I expected - on par with comparable steak chains in its class. Our group of 10 purchased several Happy Hour burgers and various entrees that arrived almost an hour after ordering. Our fries were cold and the menu description of the burger was missing. An under-sauteed and wet onion mash mixed with warm lettuce made each bite of the burger interesting. Thankfully, a perfectly charred pattie helped mask some of the adventures. With pickles and cheese already on the burger to help keep things dry, the onions need to be properly caramelized (moisture reduced) with lettuce added right before service.

The pistachio-crusted salmon was cooked properly albeit heavy on the syrup. The over-charged Brussel sprouts also had syrup added which made the dish overwhelmingly sweet. A quality mashed potato might have saved (or at least cut through) the candied meal that was underwhelming at $40.

Our server was fabulous. She was friendly with the kids and personable with the adults. However, she was overwhelmed with tables to serve. The bar did not lack servers, but the floor was sparse with fast-moving servers bustling at an uncomfortable pace.

The atmosphere was typical/standard as expected. Some prefer a dim dining experience while others appreciate a bit more light - that's all subjective and moot in the end.

Might return or recommend this location, but naturally hesitant. Hoping this was a 'one-off' as they say when otherwise reviews are pretty good overall. Our group was less than critical because of the table bread. This tied people over and left them feeling satisfied when otherwise entree portion sizes were...
