    Went here before a Leaf game (5:15 seating time for a 7pm game start), I told my guest that they restaurant was pretty good about getting pre-game crowds in and out. Took a while to get seated and then the waitress didnt come around to take our drink order for a while. Drinks (one draft beer, one glass of wine) took forever to arrive and then ordered food. My first course didnt arrive and the balance of the food arrived at our table at 630, almost an hour after we were seated. They took the first course off the bill and that was it. No real apology. So we missed the first 30 mins of the game. So I wouldnt count on this place for a pre-game meal if thats when you're considering going. Having said that the prime rib was very tasty. But service really turned me off returning.

    Service 10/10 manager 10/10 and place is stunning. Food was just OK. Was disappointed in the filet and potatoes but my wife enjoyed her meal very much. I know it's toronto but the cost was a bit much. Because I didn't eat the food as it wasn't good they did give us a complimentary salad and took my steak and salad off the bill. Was very impressed. I would return here and try it again.

    Once again the Keg proved consistency is its true quality no matter where we travel throughout Canada. I have never been disappointed and as such it is my families go to restaurant for special occasions. Our server, believe her name was Ramona or Rebecca, please excuse my memory, was a bright star, she recommended a wine which my wife absolutely loved and also aided in amending our order, ie no mushrooms, but supplemented with some extra veggies. Thanks again, we'll done.

    Ridiculous timing, appetizer before drink order, salad right after. Main before finishing appetizer. Come on, that is unacceptable. Steaks were not done as ordered. Sadly, the Keg has become a fast food restaurant at $$$$$ prices. There are far better options

    Nice quiet table/booth by the window. Great and timely service. We both enjoyed prime rib ... hers came a perfect medium done as ordered, and mine was bang on medium rare, melt-in-your-mouth rare! I started with a Caesar salad ... it was great, the dressing was really good. We enjoyed a bot of red wine and got out in perfect time to get to our show. All in all it was a great date night!

    It wasn't the best dinner experience but I'm very happy with the way the situation was handled at the end of the evening. My wife and I both ordered sirloin w/lobster tail, she with fries, me with twice-backed potato. We wondered why no butter was brought to the table, for the lobster but decided to wait it out. When our plates arrived, my wife was missing a lobster tail from her plate. We pointed this out to the lady that brought the plates and we were assured it would come right out. About 10 minutes later, it did get delivered to the table but it was undercooked. That's when I pointed out some of my other experiences with the meals. The plates were hot, but the food on them was warm at best. My steak was still delicious but I'd prefer warmer main and sides. The manager offered to get our drinks and desserts which was very nice. At the end of the night, our bill came out to $36. (A lot more than just drinks and dessert were taken off.) That gesture went a long way to demonstrate that we are valued customers and I will definitely be returning to my favourite Keg. Thank you Keg Esplanade.
