The Keg - Ottawa, Ontario

Great place! Make sure to ask for bread and butter before the meal. (It’s free!) Very tasty whipped garlic butter. I took the prime rib sandwich with the garlic mashed potatoes. Splendid meal, very tasty. Some of my friends took the filet mignon. Priced at 69$, I don’t think it was ... totally worth it, but it was pretty good. I loved the atmosphere. Fancy, dim lighting. The waitress was very polite, very professional. Read more

Probably the friendliest and most caring staff I have ever seen at KEG works here. The kitchen is top as always. The restaurant itself clearly requires reconstruction; the table outside and the outdoor area were created very simply. Scratches on furniture, floor.

For $150, I'd rather cook my own steak on a camp fire. We were in for our anniversary dinner. We had reservations. It took 25 minutes before our waitress came to introduce herself, by which point we were past wanting water & just ready to order. I had ... the 6oz Top Sirloin with the mushroom rice. The steak was 👌. The rice, Uncle Ben does better! My partner had the 20oz Rib Steak with the twice baked potato. Only 10oz of the steak was edible, the rest was fat (see pic...partly chewed, fatty, just yuck). The potato seemed more like 8x baked...very dry! Disappointed overall 👎 Read more

Pros: - like always, steak quality was good, but fries was overcooked, and my friend who ordered mid rare recove welldone. - clean and quiet Cons: - slow service, even order ice tea took 30 minutes to recive, and not because they are super busy, but because they do not care much about ... service in total. When we came to the restaurant at 10 pm, we were full 2 hours before we started eating. Definitely, stuff needs to be retrained. Read more

Went to the Keg recently for date night and it was great. We hadn’t been since 2019, so we weren’t sure what to expect. We had a great waiter, Theo, and he was very attentive all night, as well as very friendly. We didn’t feel rush, which is appreciated given ... the cost of this type of dinner. We slowly started the evening by grabbing a drink - they have a good cocktail selection, however, their types of gin were limited. Before the appetizer we got the warm bread service. Great way to start the evening and I really appreciated the special cheese and herb butter. We shared the scallops appetizer and it was very delicious. The scallops were cooked perfectly, but for the price it was a small portion. I then grabbed a wedge salad - just WOW! It was a nice big portion, the lettuce was crunchy and I had more blue cheese dressing and crumble than I could’ve expected. I grabbed the sirloin with garlic mash potatoes, and I wasn’t disappointed. The steak was a perfect medium and the potatoes were creamy. The veggies in the plate were not overcooked and was happily surprised the have roasted beets in my plate. My wife grabbed the baseball steak and it was cooked perfectly! It was tender, juicy and easy to cut. The fries were not great, however, they weren’t crispy or salted enough. Would definitely come again for a date night! Read more
