The Keg Steakhouse + Bar - Mississauga Northwest

Will Definitely Return!. It was our one-month anniversary therefore, we decided to go The Keg as we had a gift certificate that we needed to use. When we walked in on a Tuesday evening, the place was actually quite full however, not too full as to cause a wealth of noise and congestion. We were greeted by the host, who asked us to take a seat as he prepared a table for us. After a few minutes, a young woman walked us to our table near the front of the restaurant. We hadn't made reservations as we had thought on a Tuesday evening, it wouldn't be too busy. The young woman provided us with menus, then informed us that our server, Dale, would be with us shortly. As we were scrolling through the menu, Dale approached us. He introduced himself, asked if there was a special occasion being celebrated, then proceeded to ask what drinks we would be interested in. He also went through in-depth the 'lobster' special, which was being featured at that time. When we told Dale that it was our anniversary, he kindly congratulated us, telling us that him and his girlfriend would also celebrate their monthly anniversaries. Once Dale had left to get our beverages, we scrolled through the menu, each choosing an entrée. My husband settled on the Sirloin Oscar with Baked Potato, while I chose the Pecan Sirloin with Mashed Potatoes. Dale had returned a few moments later with our drinks. He then took our order and went to prepare our complimentary bread.

After about 10 minutes, our complimentary bread appeared. The bread was beyond delicious; warm and crisp, it tasted as though it had just come out of the oven. The bread was accompanied with a large dish of spreadable butter which was well-received. As we were waiting for our main dishes to arrive, Dale would come and check on us frequently, asking if we wanted any more beverages or bread. He also assured us that our meals would be coming after a bit of time of waiting. Once the meals arrived, we were starving so, we dug in right away. The Pecan Sirloin was good however, I had ordered it as well-done which made it taste a bit tough, I will definitely reconsider having it medium or medium-rare next time around. I always like the mashed potatoes to be piping hot however, they weren't as hot as I would have liked. When Dale came around to see how the meals were, I told him that I had wanted my potatoes to be more hot. He told me that the kitchen could make me a new one however at that point, I had eaten more than half of my mashed potatoes. He double-checked with me before leaving the table; I had told him that I was okay with the potatoes as they were. He was very considerate, which I took into account as he served us. My husband's dish of Sirloin Oscar was moist and large, which he thoroughly enjoyed. He especially liked the baked potato as Dale had brought over bacon bits, onions, sour cream, and butter to load into the potato, something that my husband enjoyed profusely.

After we had finished our main dishes, Dale came over and told us that dessert was complimentary due to us celebrating an anniversary. We both settled on the mini-desserts, which were 3 for $8. After about ten minutes, the desserts arrived to our pleasure. The butter tart was simply amazing, along with the mango cake, and chocolate brownie. Each dish had a scoop of vanilla ice cream, with beautiful designs laid-out on the plate. We thoroughly enjoyed the complimentary desserts, it was very kind of Dale to recognize our anniversary. Once the dessert had arrived, we had asked Dale for the bill. Since we had a $25 gift card, the remaining total was only $38, which we thought was fair considering we had each eaten a substantial amount of food. We also enjoyed having Dale as our server. He went above and beyond to create a wonderful experience for us. I have been to other Keg locations and was not impressed however, this location really impressed me. Food, service, and atmosphere was top-notch, and all will definitely bring me back here in the future!

Good service and food. I wouldn't normally go here because it's just way too expensive for a normal meal out. Our dinner ended up being close to $110 for 2 people and I didn't have any alcohol. It's tasty with great service but for that price, it better be! I will admit that it's better than the other steak chain (Canyon Creek) but it's practically double the price. We got the prime rib meal and also the tenderloin. Both of them was done to our liking and they were very tender. We can't complain about the meat. I just wish this wasn't so outrageously expensive!

Fine, First Experience.. I've actually never been to The Keg, but I had a gift certificate that I had to use. I didn't feel as though I was missing out 'cause I know what it's about: It's a steakhouse.

Instead of the Heartland location, I decided to drive to Argentia because it's newer and I wanted the best, first experience as possible.

I did call beforehand to make reservations, but apparently they only take them during the weekdays. The girl over the phone was helpful in terms of letting me know wait time, when it's best to arrive, etc.

When we arrived, there was already patrons waiting for tables. Wait was approx. 20-30mins, but didn't feel long. Just before we were seated, someone did come around with an hors d'oeuvre to tie us over. :)

Service is GOOD. Both person who sat us + waiter (David) asked if it was our first visit, explained the menu, and was attentive, filling our waters without asking! At their prices, I do expect this level of service or higher.

Menu: Aside from steaks, a bit of seafood, there isn't much variety. So if you're vegetarian or want a slew of choices, go elsewhere. They did have a separate "Snack/App" menu on the table that isn't online, so there were a few additional options there.

Food was good. Didn't arrive too quickly - that would've alarmed me. Everything was quite flavourful. During some bites, my steak was a bit on the salty side. Then again, I'm not much of a salt person. Definitely didn't need any additional seasoning!

Portions are solid. No need for apps/reorder.

A definite bonus was that they provided us with a complimentary dessert because we were celebrating a bday. (I discretely informed the waiter who brought out a cake to share.) No song :), shareable portion for sure!

Overall, it was a positive experience. Would consider going back for a special occasion, as opposed to casual meal because it is approx. $30/pp = not cheap.
