Review from Emily F.

Hubby & I have been here 3 times.
First time - GREAT, awesome service (I still remember the waiter) and the meals & dessert was fantastic.
Second time - MEDIOCRE, either the waiter or the cook got my husband's meal wrong. They made him the steak dish with the blue cheese sauce on top. The waiter noticed, said something first, and brought the right meal to him... we had to wait of course. Round #2, the steak was cooked very rare and hubby specifically ordered medium-rare. He got only a couple accompanying vegetables (it was embarrassing), yet the first dish with the blue cheese had a huge portion of veggies. THEN, later on he discovered a fruit fly in his glass of wine.
At this point he felt obligated to say something b/c our experience was deteriorating.... and fast. We weren't able to eat together because of the dish error and the wine fly grossed him out. We asked for the Manager & thankfully she handled the situation well. She apologized and they paid for my hubby's meal and wine.
Third time - FAIL (but not for me), hubby's steak was not cooked to his full satisfaction. It was too rare. He said next time we're going to Gibby's. LOL! I always order the Chicken Oscar @ The Keg and I always like it. -

Went to The Keg and what I am gonna write will seem a little strange, yes their steak was ok, it was a little cold actually.
BUT, BUT, BUT, their Mac & Cheese! It came to me all golden brown, crispy on the top, gooey in the middle. The truffle oil was a nice touch, making it all the better. I loved it and so did the hubby. It was so good I didn't want to share!
So, instead of the steak, what I am looking forward too is the 6$ side order of mac & cheese.
Try it out, and tell me what you think! -

How come when you are travelling for work you always crave a steak dinner? I was by myself so I figured I worked hard and I deserve a nice steak dinner so I went to this Keg. It was packed because of Cinq a Sept but I managed to snag a table at the bar. The servers were great and I had a splendid rib steak filled with delicious grilled veggies. I was in and out in no time. I was happy and sated and that's what Keg is all about. Good food, consistent service and great vibe.

I've been to a lot of different Keg Steakhouses around Canada, but I would not return to this one. The food was good, but the service was horrible. I've been to the Keg in Old Montreal many times, which is always a great experience. Friendly staff and good food. Here at Place Ville-Marie... it was a different story.
The staff was plentiful, young, attractive and bored. They all stood around chatting and flirting with one another instead of attending to customers. The worst part were the hosts/hostesses. They were plain rude and upset that we were carrying large bags. They wanted us to check them. Ridiculous - there was lots of space at the tables, and the restaurant was half empty. We received a lot of attitude.
I will never be back at this location! When in Montreal, go to the one located at the Old Port instead. So much better. -

Dine here on an almost Bi-weekly basis, great for a consistent meal that is not over-priced.
Service is quick and food is great, even when compared to a Moishe's (besides not paying $60 for a steak) or something similar.
Great spot if you're looking for a regular staple that serves a great steak, seafood, or chicken (not the most vegetarian friendly restaurant) without breaking the budget (or expense account). -

Great steakhouse. Beats the crap out of the old port one (which looks like a cheap diner). Don't mess around, just get the 10oz filet mignon, applewood smoked bacon, skip the blue cheese (they don't do it right). Price is what you would expect. Good experiences, gone a few times and will go back. Can't say the same for the one in the old port though.

After dining in a MUCH more expensive and upscale steak house in Montreal and having a horrible experience, we tried the " KEG"
The food is terrific and very well prepared. The service was very prompt. While in Montreal for 5 days, we ate at this location 2x. Both times were delicious.
This is a place we will be going back to often!!! -

Nice atmosphere. Desserts excellent. Service excellent.
Sirloin good. Caesar salad very garlicky. "Mushrooms neptune" goopy and kind of gross. Baked potato over-cooked and dry. Vegetables dry and tasteless. Prime rib flavorful but dry and chewy.
We'll keep looking for a decent steakhouse in Montreal. -

Went there for a business dinner, everything was good. I heard they have another one in old Montreal, weather was too cold, so we decided to come to this new location, I like the layout/design of this place.
I ordered Fliet. it came out exactly what I want. everyone else's order looks good. the drinks were great as well.
I would come back if I'm come back to Montreal again for sure -

The keg caught my eye when I was in Vancouver when I was only 13, simply for the fact that they cooked my steak the way I want it cooked, rare. Flash foward a few years to a vacation in Montreal. I happen to walk past the old Keg and found out there is one that is located right by my hotel.
The appitizers were very good. Yet the steaks were simpley the best. I have been to other major steak houses such as Ruth Chris but I prefer the Keg. The steaks are just soo tender. The desserts are very good to, from what I remember I got the Billy Miner. I would say this is my favorite steak house my a large margin.
I wish they would open up one in the NYC area, I would visit it a lot. -

Well we came here as a last meal before our Bachelor Party officially headed back home and it was a fitting meal. We came here pretty late Sunday night and they seemed to be accommodating as the kitchen was about to close in 30 minutes so we put in our orders as quickly as possible before they close. Obviously it was Sunday night towards midnight so the crowd definitely died down and basically just a few occupied tables plus some bar people.
The waitress was extremely easy on the eyes who was tall, overall great body and not butter-face. She was a bit more talkative than we expected but we let her get away with it since she was hot enough. Anyways before I deviate, we order some small appetizers and a few pints of Ricard's Red beer to go with our steak as I order the NY Striploin medium rare. The steak was pretty good and the side toppings of mushrooms and half a tomato was also pretty good. So overall, very good experience and definitely would visit again on my next trip to Montreal. -

Vastly different experience than the Keg that is in Old Montreal.
Steak undercooked, potato overcooked. Not a good combination. -

One of the best Steakhouse Franchise!
The quality of the meat is near what La Queue de Cheval. The place is a Lounge-Restaurant in a low-lighted ambiance with some ambiant/jazzy music. The staff is extremely qualified and perfectly bilingual. They know their menu and have a great way of showing it. I went there with friends after a long week of work, and got a Amaretto Sour before starting my entrée. Real Lime Juice and well balance ; most of the time, in restaurant they try to cheat to save money by serving some concentrated lime juice. Then ordered a bottle of wine. They have a large selection of wine and a full bar selection.
I took some Crab and goat cheese with some light nacho
Then my main course was a Baseball surloin cut - blue - with potatoes and Aspargus and mushroom. You build up your plate the way you want and chooses what you want.
approximatly 100$ per person if you drink (appero and Bottle of wine) take an Entree and a Desert.
NB: Weird fact: the Bathroom was amazing; lot of cool modern-art design, heavy wood door, large mirror. -

Ah The Keg. My first foray in the madness of steakhouse fanboyism. It's The Keg, was is there to say? Most Montrealers and Torontonians are familiar with it as each city has more than a few franchises. And there's the rub... franchises, meaning that everything is designed to please everyone as much as possible. Very dark and masculine decor, because let's face it, the steak obsessed are mostly men, though I know a few women who worship steak like I do. And since this is mostly a man's obsession, the service is all female and by female, I mean insanely hot women and by insanely hot women, I mean you'll forget your own name hot. Well at least in the lounge area. The dining area has more elegant women dressed in a more classical outfits. I like slutty women as much as the next guy but I always prefer elegance over sluttiness; a woman wearing a tailleur is sexier than a woman with a skirt so short it qualifies as a belt, but I digress.
Again this was the first Steakhouse experience I've had and back then it was a glorious experience in steak obsession. But since then I've travelled and tried Steakhouses all over North America so The Keg sort of lost its shine and on 3 occasions my bill remained unpaid for ruining my steak. But they deliver a better than decent steak with tasty side dishes. They often have specials with their steaks, such as a New-York strip topped with Boursain cream cheese and chipotle chutney, which was amazing.
All the mixed drinks come in Keg sizes as well as regular, getting you drunk fast and that bartender is often well qualified and delivers very good drinks such as Tom Collins, Long Islands, and the sort. The deserts are the boring usual suspects expected of chain restaurants but are delicious none the less.
It's a great place to enjoy affordable well prepared steaks with groups or office lunches and so forth but fails to be my go to steakhouse when I want to rock my palate with an awesome steak.
4 stars for what it is. If I were judging just the steak, I'd give it a 3-stars. -

I think you get what you pay for in terms of steak in Montreal.
Not too bad. There is one in Old Montreal that i think is better though.. -

What was I thinking? I should have been suspicious when I saw all of there advertisements in the guide books but it was so convenient to our hotel. It was Thursday evening and the bar was packed with the after the after work crowd. We checked in without a reservation and were told to come back in 30 minutes well, why complain, when we came back it took another 30 minutes to get seated.
The strip steak was small and thin and lord, can these people disrespect a potato. How can you mess up a baked potato? They must cook them in advance and reheat them. So, long wait, noisy room, weak drinks [ I think that they asked me if I wanted tto "Keg" size my scotch and soda. I guess that it is like biggie sizing your drink. What they brought was scotch and water but hey ]
They get a one star . Montreal has so much more to offer. See the reviews of L'express Restaurant. -

I've been here a few times, and it's always delivered. There are better steakhouses, but this place is tops for "bang for the buck", this is not to say it's cheap, just great value. I've had great steaks, and last time, some great Ahi Tuna, it was a perfect meal. And the atmosphere is top notch, a comfortable hip feel.
