    Our waiter was great and very attentive. The service was very slow and a bit disjointed because they’ve got a new order management system.

    Thanks to the wonderful kitchen staff for preparing an excellent meal! The prime rib was amazing! Most of the staff were friendly except for the hostess who did not greet us in a welcoming way. She seemed annoyed that we arrived 10 minutes before our reservation time and made a point of informing us that we could not be seated before 7:00 which we was fine with as we do not like to arrive late for reservations. The tables were arranged closely together making it difficult to enjoy a romantic birthday dinner for two. We will definitely try a different Keg location for our next visit.

    We had a family dinner at The Keg St James and it was excellent. Everyone enjoyed their meal, from the bread, to the steaks and other meals, to the dessert. My steak was perfectly cooked and tasted great. Our server Justin? was friendly and helpful. Following many, it was a great experience at The Keg.

    Unfortunately this wasn’t a great experience. The food was just alright, the service was horrible. We asked for a booth and were seated at a table, we asked for a light, pale ale and served dark ipa beer, he asked to take all of our orders and waited until the end to advise he should probably have wrote it down, came back in 5 minutes with a notepad and we had to do it again. Nothing was ever cleared from the table without us having to ask. I realize it could have been his first day? I blame management for not training staff - service should reflect the price and this did not.

    Everything was great, as expected. I do wish they would give the greeter at the door a chair. A high barstool would work. The lovely girl at the door was standing at the podium when we arrived and still standing there when we left. It would not deter from the service to let her sit down.

    I ask for my steak to be cooked medium and it was mostly medium-well with one small part actually medium. I didn't say anything and still tasted very good, but would have enjoyed more if it would come off the grill a minute or 2 earlier.

    Service was good and our server was very nice. Food was disappointing. We always have great meals at The Keg which is why we always return. My husbands potato was ice cold in the middle and his steak was well done when he ordered it medium, we sent it back and he didn’t want a new meal so they took care of our drinks which was nice. Must have been an off night for the kitchen.

    Made a reservation online other people got in before us and we were side against the wall high traffic area for servers. We were celebrating our anniversary dinner and they knew that and they still put us up against the wall where people who just walked in without a reservation, had a better table and weren’t squished in a corner.

    1 Steak was requested medium rare but was medium. Other steak was over-salted but I didn’t mind because luckily I like salt. A few mushrooms were burned. Atmosphere was very loud. Waiter very friendly.

    Tables very close together so that the waiter was up against me to serve our neighbours. I ordered lobster tails and the butter was t melted. My waiter never gave me a chance to ask for melted butter; came by once while my mouth was full. The food was very salty. And the music was very loud.

    It was are anniversary we wanted to have a nice dinner. Cheese bread wasn’t as usual barely any cheese didn’t taste good, salad was good larger portion, bread was hot and fresh!! steak wasn’t good tough, shrimp was and tasteless and cold, server was good and polite we tipped accordingly but had to listen to a screaming child two tables over. We have children not usually sensitive to it but the shrieking for and hour was too much. Over all disappointed for an anniversary diner. Thanks

    We frequently go here for dinner and our meal is completely ruined this Saturday by a child screaming at the top of their lungs in the dining area to the point we had to ask for boxes because we needed to get out of there it was absolutely unacceptable. It was the 9th scream of the child when we couldn't take it any more. An absolute waste of money our evening dinner was ruined. if we wanted to hear screaming children we would go to Boston pizza not the keg. It was a larger table everyone in the dining room was looking at them servers just kept walking by I don't know how nobody could say something to them I just think that's not acceptable in a place that you're paying what you're paying for your dinner and that adults go for a nice night out. This went on for a good half an hour it wasn't just a tantrum the kid was playing on an iPad the parent was tickling them it was more of like excitement which honestly is even worse because I understand kids can have meltdowns most parents would take them away but it's almost like this behavior was just being encouraged nobody seemed to care. I will not be returning

    Ate in the lounge which was pretty loud. Service was excellent, food was delicious but was not served warm. I did not complain because it ruins an evening and makes guests feel uncomfortable. The restaurant should not put patrons in this position.

    Pleasantly surprised, service was awesome by Dryden! Stopped by for appetizers and drinks prior to party in the area! Loved the calamari…the Sliders 🍔 description was not what expected… did not realize it would be slices of prime rib … was originally going to split a burger so that was our only disappointment.

    The food and the service were excellent. We went at a busy table, and unfortunately, our table was in a busy thoroughfare. This did not dampen our enjoyment of the experience, but a quieter spot is always nicer.
