Returning keg customer. Mood was great in the low light. Table and its location in DR were good albeit a dirty bench. Our food & drink experience was just okay- sides unavail., flat draught beer. Kitchen delays and explanations- people service trying their best at times but also a bit overstreched. Duration of visit 2hr+

The four of us have a great time reminiscing on the patio. The area was busy but tables spaced far enough apart to afford decent privacy. Overall, the meals were enjoyable except for a friend’s strip steak which he found to be inedible. He has eaten at The Keg several times before and has had positive experiences but his steak didn’t live up to his expectations. The waitress reacted well, offering to replace the steak but we were well into the meal so not an option that was appealing. She ended up not charging him for the meal which was an acceptable response. Still a good experience and not one to deter a future visit.

Our server Robert was amazing and made our experience memorable. I require gluten-free and ensured Management was aware. A manager came out to the table to ensure me that the food I ordered would receive special attention. We were allowed to relax and enjoy our appetizers prior to ordering our mains, which was perfect as we were not in a rush. When my main came out I was advised it was prepared in an area prepped for gluten-free and all our meals were perfect. As one member in our group was celebrating a birthday 🥳 a free dessert was offered. A overall 5-star experience.

Service was average. Had to keep asking for cutlery. As there were hardly any patrons it was strange to be lacking basic table wear. Keg fries were just fries. Baseball Sirloin was delicious. My wife had the Steak and Scallops. Wasn't blown away by its greatness. One glass of wine and a beer with our meal for 150 tip included.....doesn't really seem worth it. Ambiance on the patio wasn't anything special. Considering the cost of inflation this location should up its game to keep people coming. The dining room was empty aside from 2 tables.

My son and I ate at the bar on the patio and the service and staff were so kind and welcoming . Julie at the outdoor bar asked for both of our names and was so amazing. It’s rare to receive such genuine service these days . We live uptown and we were heading to the TFC game and went out of our way to go to this keg . This is by far my favourite location to visit .

The waiter, Judy, was exceptional, lovely, and very considerate! Accidentally confused one of our drinks and brought it to us, when she realized this, she decided to take it off the bill and then brought us the correct drink. Amazing service by this waiter, made our time there even better. Considered going back and asking for this specific waiter!

It was a lovely night. Our server was excellent and attentive, mainly because it was so early and not too busy. We were headed to the baseball game afterwards and wanted to get there early so a 445 reservation seemed appropriate. We sat inside and it was pleasantly quiet. Food was cooked perfectly even though I asked for medium-wellish! We were pleasantly surprised with an anniversary dessert that we weren’t expecting. Thank you.
