Me and my boyfriend frequents this place for special occasions, yesterday being valentines. We always get escargot to share, virgin pina colada for me, prime ribs for him and a filet mignon for myself. For desert we had a billy miner pie and a large creme brule although this was too much food lol. The food is always up to our expectations and we spent around $150. Would recommend :)

Our dinner was fantastic, delicious, best pickles ever and great service!

The service was excellent by Jeff. My husband enjoyed the prime rib and I had to order the delicious Keg hamburger.. that is best that I have ever tasted. Our server last week, Amber was super friendly. We have not been to the Keg at this point for 1 year and suggested the winter grill...sirloin with carmalized onions... so tender and mouth watering and hubby had prime rib... We had cheesecake and Jeff suggested pineapple upside down cake.. perfection. Service and food and atmosphere were excellent. Our favorite place ❤️

Went for my birthday and the space has definitely got a renovation since my last visit in 2021. The food was equally as delicious, service had changed a bit (I do miss the old cutlery) but I understand with the demand and expansion since the WELL deserved Micheline recognition. The food was FABULOUS the octopus was a stand out texture perfectly cook the sala Verda had heat, zest, and herbaceous however, the star were the beans! DESSERT was my favourite course strawberries are my favourite fruits so confidently the gelato was right up my alley. I knew it was incredibly well done when my brother who notoriously dislikes strawberry “ice cream” of any sorts kept matching my spoon for spoon (will be back for the Torta). My only wish was to maybe talk about more with the Som and the employees. I know it’s hard to sometimes be able too in service and some guest just rather not be spoken to during their stay. I kept looking for an opening with everyone who touched our table didn’t work out. CJ was a wonderful server, paced our dishes and drinks, took care of my family wonderfully. Also loved that the table was communicated that it was “ours” until a specific time. It was a wonderfully birthday, thank you.
