    Bone in ribeye was the most tender ribeye I have ever had anywhere. Great selection of crafted cocktails-Monsoon Margarita with prickly pear was amazing.

    Bar Blitzen was really fun. The energy, decor, drinks, food, and service were great and we really enjoyed ourselves. There had also been a previous mix up with our initial reservation, but their management caught it early and provided a quick resolution. The way it was handled was super professional and showed great customer service.

    Sunday before Christmas and we were able to get in when we requested. It seemed quiet so I’m sure others were out shopping. Our server, Ruth, was a delight! She was quite happy to make suggestions and able to describe the entrees perfectly. I had Ricotta Cavatelli and my husband had Shrimp Scampi with a bowl of Tomato Bisque. My husband was in heaven when he got his bisque. He LOVES tomato soup and was at first disappointed because Ruth had to tell him they were all out. However, when she went back in the kitchen she found there was enough for one more bowl! My Ricotta Cavatelli was a perfect blend of flavors! The lump crab with the tiger shrimp, the cavatelli noodles and the lovely lemon butter was sooo delicious that I can’t wait to go back for more. My husband got tired of me saying how good and delicious this dish was! It was a good thing! We had a lovely meal and were prepared to go back out in the Christmas crowds. Thank you to Ruth for her wonderful service and delightful hospitality! We hope to have her on our next visit. Oh yes, my husband thoroughly enjoyed his Shrimp Scampi, too. He just couldn’t get a word in edgewise due to me.

    Our server, Bre, was fantastic! She made our visit perfect. We had a teriyaki sirloin and peppercorn NY strip - both were cooked to perfection. We loved the choice of accompanying vegetables - beets and green beans. The Keg is one of our favorite places to dine, and they did not disappoint. Across from us was a table of 14 and it appeared that they were also receiving great service. The kitchen did a fantastic job in getting all of the meals out together. Great job!
