    We visited your restaurant today and were very impressed! The atmosphere was wonderful, and the food was incredibly delicious. The steaks and side dishes were perfectly cooked, making our evening unforgettable. A special thank you to the waiter who served us—he was very fast, friendly, attentive, and polite. Thanks to the excellent service and outstanding cuisine, we had a fantastic experience! However, we would like to draw attention to the work of the hostess. Unfortunately, the greeting at the entrance left an unpleasant impression. Despite having made a reservation in advance, the hostess with long black hair was not very welcoming—we felt a lack of friendliness and a rather dismissive attitude. It would be great if the front-of-house staff were as professional and courteous as the waiters since the first impression is very important. Regarding convenience—the restaurant has parking, but it is almost always full, so we had to park a block away. Additionally, the parking is paid. Overall, the restaurant deserves 5 stars due to its excellent cuisine and high-quality service at the table. However, we recommend paying attention to the guest reception experience. We hope this aspect will be improved so that next time, our experience will be perfect from start to finish!

    Twice baked potatoes always my favorite. My friend ordered a seafood Oscar steak, hot plate, prefect cooked. However, mine roasted prime rib’s plate wasn’t warm enough, the steak is getting cold quite soon and the fatty part wasn’t that good after all. Overall, keg didn’t let us down, great service and fairly high quality foods.

    My wife and I went to the Keg on Christmas eve, I was so looking forward to a good steak which has been a couple of years since I had one. I order a Keg size Caesar which is one of the best any bar makes, but on this night I found it Very weak like they had forgot the vodka? My wife started with the lobster bisque and I had the wedge salad, both dishes where superb. For our mains my wife had the 7oz Filet wrapped in bacon with blue cheese on top and I had the 10oz Filet done the same way. Both steaks where Fantastic in taste and cooking. I had order a 9oz glass of red wine which the waiter asked if I wanted it with my main which I said yes. Well our mains came and no wine I started my dinner and still no wine once I had eaten about half my steak we got the waiters attention he had forgot but said he would get it right away. Well still another few minutes and he came around saying they had to go upstairs to get another bottle? So by the time my wine arrived I was finished my steak. So I did not want the wine at that point. And sent it back at no charge. So I found the service not like I have had at this Keg and many others.

    We love our keg visits! Great for a date night or taking all the kids for a special family dinner. My all time favorite is the pistachio crusted salmon. The bread and whipped butter is always hot and amazing.

    Great service from Devon lastnight. It was very busy upon our arrival. It took a little longer for us to get seated even with our reservation. We spoke to the girls at the front about our reservation and they said it would be a little longer of a wait. We asked to use the rest room and after coming back and waiting 5 minutes we were approached by another staff member who told us they thought we had left, which was odd. That being said Devon made up for it with his 5 star service. The food took an hour but given how busy the restaurant was, and with large groups, we were not surprised. Devon was very attentive, despite how busy he was with other tables. The only complaint about the food would be that my steak and my wife's chicken were both luke warm at best once they came out of the kitchen. The potatoes and vegetables both steaming hot. Also, the staff took into account my several food allergies and that was 5 stars. Overall we had a great night and eventhough we didn't follow through with it, Devon offered us a free dessert which was a nice touch. Thanks for a great night Devon!

    The steak was cooked perfectly and full of flavour. The harbour-view setting made the evening feel special and memorable. Our server was attentive and friendly the entire time. The sides and appetizers complemented the meal beautifully. It’s the perfect spot for a date night or celebration — highly recommend The Keg in Victoria!
