They start you off with warm focaccia bread and butter, and the escargot sauce was so good we ended up dipping the bread into it. The escargot themselves were large, had a nice chew, and paired surprisingly well with the mushrooms, even as someone who usually doesn't like mushrooms. The 21-day aged prime rib was excellent and came topped with a huge pile of crispy onions that added great texture, especially with the rich au jus. The twice-baked potato was buttery, soft, and completed the meal perfectly. The sirloin and lobster was also cooked perfectly. The steak came out beautifully rare, and the lobster was tender and not overcooked. I also loved that the drawn butter stayed warm over a little tea candle so you could keep dipping throughout the meal. The garlic mashed potatoes were creamy and comforting, especially with some extra crispy onions added on top. Overall, such a solid date night spot.

Tip: The Keg classics options are the best bang for your money. You choose your steak. It comes…read morewith a salad, veggies, and your choice of a side. I hit my fifteen-year work anniversary in September. I never thought that I'd last this long at a company. My job duties have changed so much over the years that I'm constantly learning and figuring things out, which I enjoy. I received a bunch of points to use towards various gifts from our internal portal. I went with e-gift cards and got four different ones. One of them was for The Keg. I finally got around to using it last Wednesday. After work, I drove up to this The Keg location in Woodbridge. It's across from the Element hotel that I used to spend the night at when I returned to the city late from a flight. It's funny that I only knew about the McDonald's next to this hotel, simply because it was the only food place open when I checked in at nearly midnight. It's nice to know that there's this eatery when it's not pitch black at night. I parked just behind the restaurant and walked over to the entrance. The patio looks like it would be great to use when it's summertime. I got here at 5:30 pm. There were a few folks ahead of me in the lobby area waiting for a table. There were two male staffers greeting people. One was working politely with a not-so-happy customer on the phone. The other was diligently working to seat everyone. When it was my turn, both folks were so welcoming. One of them offered the lounge area. I was down with it. It's the best part of dining solo. You don't have to wait for a table in the dining room when you can be seated at either the lounge or bar. It was comfortable dining in the lounge. Megan was my server. She was exceptionally professional and efficient. I went with the prime rib (ten-ounce) as part of my Keg classic. I asked that it be done medium-well. I selected mixed greens as my starter salad. My meal came with veggies and my choice of side. I went with garlic mashed potatoes. I ordered a Diet Pepsi. It came to me fairly quickly, as I was seated so close to the bar. I also got a glass of water with ice. It was great. Megan asked if I wanted bread to start. Yes, please! I enjoyed the sourdough bread with butter. I had half of it. It was warm and chewy. So good! I stopped eating it because my mixed greens salad had arrived. This salad was excellent. The greens were fresh and crunchy. I loved the picked onions on top. The vinaigrette had a mild garlicky flavour to it, which I absolutely loved. I polished this salad off quickly. My main came out. The only weirdness of this evening was seeing my food plated mostly on the right. I'd say that 25% of my plate was stark white. It wasn't like my food had slid off to one side. It was simply weird. I saw a mound of crispy onions. It wasn't mentioned on the menu as part of my meal. They looked like a lot. However, when they were mixed in with the au jus after I had poured it on my prime rib, they were delicious and didn't seem like a lot. I loved my prime rib. It was done to my liking. It was flavourful and perfect with the au jus. The veggies made my day. Roasted beets. Green beans. Sautéed mushrooms. They were my kind of veggie trifecta. I love beets. The fact that they were roasted made them even sweeter to enjoy. The green beans were perfect. The mushrooms were yummy. I was in love with this veggie combination. The garlic mashed potatoes were comforting. They had the right amount of garlic, butter, and potatoes with the skin. I'd get them again. I couldn't fit dessert in. Megan recognized that I had my e-gift card printed out and set it up on the payment machine for me to use. I tipped and let her know that the meal was excellent. She was happy to hear it. I still have a bit of a balance left. I look forward to using it up soon. My e-gift card has no expiration date, so I'm in no rush. Megan was helpful when I asked her where the washroom was. It was behind the bar. The women's was fancy and clean. I had an excellent experience here. It was nice to quietly enjoy a decent prime rib meal after work. It's a great eatery with delicious steaks and more. I would return in a heartbeat. (407)
