It was our first visit to The Keg (& Toronto!) and we thought it was amazing! Our server (Neil) was attentive, friendly and his knowledge of the food was great! The food was absolutely delicious! We all ordered fillet steak and it was melt in your mouth perfect! To add to our experience, I was spoiled with birthday treats! We had a really enjoyable, pleasant experience - made by the ambience, staff knowledge and friendliness! Thank you so much :)

Waited 15 mins and had to seek out a server to help us (not the servers fault he wasn’t told to wait us and was helpful after. Forgot our drink. I think I had the wrong meal because I ordered the fully loaded potato and was brought a twice baked. Waiter wanted to take it back but we didn’t have time based on time. My steak was ordered med and ended up being rare to med rare. The salads had no flavour (caesar or wedge). Once again the waiter was great and took so money off of the bill, but it wasn’t enough to have me come back. I had a bad experience the last time I attended this location as well and this was an attempt to see if things had changed. Unfortunately no

Server got our order wrong and we were never able to correct it as the food was dropped on our table and nobody came back for half an hour… not a terrible night, but we didn’t get our Cesar salad (they offered to make one after we were done our meal, but nobody wants leftover soggy salad the next day). Bottom line, the baseball steak was delicious so that’s really all that matters!

Made reservation for dining room and was seated in Bar. Worst steak I have ever eaten at a KEG I eat at the Leslie location all the time. Didn’t eat 90% of plate and waitress didn’t even ask if something was wrong. Will never return or recommend… honestly when we didn’t order alcoholic drinks it went downhill….

The location is great, it's a bit warm with all the fireplaces but the ambiance is great. The waitress was new, not listening or off. Although we were very articulate with our requests she got our first drink order wrong, the second drink order wrong and did not provide our meals as requested. It provided some stress and frustration to the evening.

Great food and very good service; that said they could pour bigger cocktails. I had a Martini. It tasted fine; however, it needed to be full to the brim to be a proper Martini. In very "Canadian" fashion its was delivered at a perfectly regulated portion vs being liberal, extra and over the top like a good "American" martini usually arrives. At $16/ea I'd expect a healthy serving.

The keg is my favourite restaurant, and I was very disappointed with my last visit. I have one meal top sirloin steak with garlic mash potatoes. I allergic to the vegetables so I always ask for extra potatoes instead and I was told no. Never has this happened. The manager came to my table and talked down to me, that all the kegs restaurants follow the rule. Veggies to veggie starch to starch. The manager said for this one time she’d allow it, but future it will not happen again. Very disappointed

I must of eaten at the Keg at least 100 times and the food is always great. There are times I have a craving for Prime Rib, but it always seems to be hit and miss at the Keg. My 14 oz serving was a bit dry even after drowning it in au jus. Everthing else was fantastic, from my many apps to my consistent Billy Miner with coffee for dessert.

My husband and I went there for the first time - a first Keg experience for either one of us. The waitress and hee trainee were very attentive and knowledgeable, made us feel special and welcomed! They even brought out a complimentary dessert at the end since it was our first time at the Keg! Super unexpected but so nice of them to do that. The food was phenomenal! Of course it's pricier than some other restaurants, but with the quality, that's understandable and we are happy to pay more for that kind of service and food. 10/10

We went to celebrate my birthday and were attending a show after dinner. The steak, as always, was perfect. Like buttah! It’s all about that steak, garlic mash, and bread. I’m never disappointed by the quality when I go to the keg but I have to say, this one was especially delicious. I’d have to say this location beats the York location but don’t tell them I said that. Also - the butter for the bread. Jesus. You could legit sell that. So good.

I've never had a bad steak at the keg until last night. Ordered 6 Oz sirloin with side of sirloin Oscar, when steak arrived they forgot the Oscar which is fine but they had to take my steak away to add it so I had to wait and when I got my steak back I only ate one bite. I asked for medium well and this steak beyond well done it was charred and as hard as a hockey puck. I didnt say anything because I'd have to wait again and we had concert tickets and I hate eating separately when it's only 2 people at the table . When waitress came to clear plates she didn't even ask if something was wrong with the steak so I was a bit disappointed. To pay $40 for a steak and not eat it is a upsetting.

It was our first dinner out after losing our mom and the familiarity of the Keg took some of the pain away. Remembering all the wonderful family dinners we had there together. Thank you Carolyn
