Thomas: our server was an absolute delight and provided the best experience and service we have ever had at Keg, my only comment is that, as a loyal keg customers and speak very highly of this institution, since I had shared that this was a birthday celebration and how we have been coming to Keg for past 20 years in my “ send the message “ during my reservation on open table and actually no one responded ( the manager on duty ) should have to the table and wished my hubby and maybe sent a flute of beverage to cheers the birthday

Our server was helpful and accommodated a change to the menu for an allergy. He was patient and around just enough. The food was so delicious and flavourful. My favourite was the taro chips and dip. The prawns were also delish. Even though we were seated on the outdoor patio in December, it was warm enough. Just wish there were slightly more substantial chairs. We were seated on very small stools.
