The Keg, Victoria, B.C.

Whenever we go to Victoria, we always, always stop in and enjoy a wonderful dinner. We made reservations and, therefore, did not have to stand in line waiting.

When we were seated, there was a large table behind us, with about 7 people at it and slowly the restaurant began filling up. There must be a story at the large table behind us as it ended up with 14 men and 1 young lady who appeared to be in her glory. We sure laughed.

Anyway, Don ordered the 10 0z. Prime rib and he ate the whole thing, simply licking his lips throughout. Darn he does enjoy that meal. It is nice to know that they also serve O’Douls. This way I have my own designated driver and I get to have fun.

I ordered my standard – filet and I have to admit, it was not what I ordered. I asked for it to be medium and it came out rarer than Don’s and his almost walks on the plate.  I  should have returned it I know, but they were so busy I just let it go. What helped was a glass of a Santa Carolina Merlot from Chile.

The one saving grace was dessert. Don asked for the menu and, lo and behold, it had Crème Brulee. Can’t let that go. We ordered one and share it down to the last bit.

Keg Restaurant-Victoria, B.C.

Friday night we (my cousins, husband and myself) went to The Keg for dinner. We were seated immediately and our server was right there taking orders for any drinks (water, wine, coffee, etc.) and then we ordered. My one cousin is allergic to garlic (poor thing) and asked what she could order. The server told her to order anything on the menu but state NO SPICE and she would be fine.  The orders were all different. Prime Rib with seafood Oscar, plain Prime Rib, Flat Iron steak with seafood Oscar and Chicken with Seafood Oscar. EVERYTHING was absolutely perfect and no one left the table hungary or unhappy. Just the opposite, we wobbled away with big smiles I think.

We were on a family reunion weekend and the laughter from our table was pure joy and catching up was even better.

I forgot to ask permission to use our server’s name or even leave my card, but suffice to say the lovely lady from England was amazing and a credit to her profession. YES, I said profession. The Keg knows how to train their staff and seem to choose only the best for their establishment. Good on you! We will return.
