Last weekend, my husband and I went on a date night….yes an actual date night. We’ve been wanting to try a restaurant close to our house called The Keg.
From the outside, we figured this would be a great restaurant to go to….without our son in tow! However, when we got there, we saw several families with kids. They even had a kids menu leading me to beleive this restaurant was more family friendly than I originally thought. The kids menu included “steakhouse items” such as ribs, steak and burgers. It also had chicken strips, Prime Rib Beef Dip (French Dip) and BBQ chicken.
The ambiance was dark and quiet…..quite the romantic restaurant for a couple. The menu included mostly steak, but did offer a few alternatives such as salad and chicken. They also had an extensive wine list, but my husband and I are not wine drinkers (and even if we were, I could not partake considering the whole pregnancy thing).
We started off with some garlic cheesy bread. My husband chose Prime Rib and I chose the Teriyaki Sirloin. My steak came with a baked potato and my husbands came with garlic mashed potatoes (however, they let him subsitute a baked potato instead). We ended our meal with a Brownie Sundae.
I definitely enjoyed the more “date like” atmosphere”….the candlelit table, cloth napkins, and fireplace. The food was nothing earthshattering. The steaks were good, but not necessarily the best I have ever eaten. However, the brownie sundae was terrific! The brownie was warm, but not too hot that it melted the ice cream.
The cost was higher than you would get at a larger chain restaurant. However, the service was pretty good and seemed knowledgable about their menu.
So, all in all, it was a great date night and I’m really glad we finally tried this restaurant.
