I hate giving such perfect scores because it may mean its going to be tougher to get seats on the weekend. The servers are good and the kitchen is more than competent on their prep work. The NY Peppercorn, Shrimps and dessert are delectable and succulent. Their dark & stormy takes a nice twist with Dark and stormy as the foamy kind. Recommend 2oz version. I think the only thing that could improve the ambience is if the Keg also accepted Bitcoin. Not that grift meme coin stuff. Bitcoin.

The only thing is the table (like a coffee table) is too small for two for fine dining.
