The Keg Steakhouse + Bar

You can feel the difference here. Everything tastes fantastic, we were a group of 7 and we ordered different types of food but all were delicious. Great staff, harbor view.

Me and my wife where travelling from Montreal, we always had a pretty good experience at the Keg. I was in St-John for a business trip and decided to go to the local Keg. It was a bad idea, the cesar salad as an entry was pretty good, but the main dishes were not at our liking. I ask for a medium/rear steak received a medium well, my wife ask for a medium received a well done. I was pretty disappointed but took a chance with the desert, ask for a brownie with ice cream. The ice cream was already melted, and the brownie was cold and dry. Really disappointing for the price.

Best patio in St. John's! We stopped in here after a long walk to have an afternoon drink. The outdoor patio on the 2nd floor over looks the harbour. It is very picturesque and relaxing. The service was great.

Great atmosphere. older people in the group found it hard to read the menus because it was a little dark .waitress was phenomenal had their big burger and creme brulee

The Keg is always a good place to eat. I’d never had the lettuce wedge salad before so I thought I’d try it with the dill dressing and I loved it. They usually cook the steak to perfection we like ours rare, but on this night my partner’s steak was medium rare and he was slightly disappointed. Our meals came with grilled vegetables and I would have loved them to be more cooked. My veggies were barely warm and nearly raw, and to be honest, the grilled veg would benefit from some seasoning. The bread served before the meal is always fresh and delicious! The server was lovely and I thought it was the best meal we ate while in St. John’s.

Not as good as we expected. We arrived at 4:45 PM for an early dinner and we were told there was no server before 5:30 PM. So, we ended up having a drink at the bar. They have a good selection of beers and wine. The bloody ceasar is filled with ice in a small glass. So, not a big drink, you got a couple of sip. I don't recommend the burger there. It was very dry. Fries were good. Friends with steak said they were very good, but one of them was overcooked. Long story short, I think you can get a better taste somewhere else for the same amount.

Server was fantastic but the food was quite underwhelming considering the price and how long its been here in town. Bone in prime rib was ok, ordered rare but it was blue and first time I didn't finish a steak. The lobster tail, not worth $16 for such a tiny piece of seafood and it had a strange flavor. Cauliflower was too salty as was the accompanying Hoi sin sauce. Must admit, we were expecting much better from The Keg but I've had better steak at family restaurants, we skipped dessert because we assumed it would not be worthwhile. Fairly disappointed with the experience.

Great place for a quiet time away from the kids. The food was delicious and we had a great time.Food: 5/5

The Keg chain of restaurants is typically a great and consistent experience at any of its locations. My visit to the St. John's location was just not a great one, and I decided to get up and leave. This started with my arrival. The reception staff were not particularly welcoming, and merely acknowledged my reservation. There were no smiles and basically no warmth. I was handed a paging device and that's it. We went to the bar to have a drink before dinner. This was about 8pm, and moderately busy. Despite sitting down at the bar for about ten minutes, neither of the two bartenders made eye contact with us. We had to call out, and remind them that we wanted to order drinks. My drink is a simple martini with olives. I was told that the bar was out of olives, and they had very few martini glasses which needed to be washed. We were eventually served, and two uninspired martinis and a very, very small pour. For a high end steak house, this is really not a great bar experience. We then were notified that our table upstairs was ready. We were seated at an odd table that was located at the kitchen exit. The table kind of sat out on the floor by itself, and was the only table that had a very bright, somewhat blinding light beaming down onto it. It was an odd table in an odd location. We asked the hostess to move us, and she did. The new table location was better, and a very friendly and helpful server named Peace introduced himself. We opted to have one more round of drinks before ordering, and for one reason or another the drinks were not made correctly. By this time, we were starting to get hungry, and with the bar delays, seating delays, moving around tables and other reasons, we just weren't interested in staying. Now, with this review, I cannot comment on the food taste and quality, as we never made it that far. The food was probably very good, and nicely prepared. Our issue was with the overall flow of service, the management of staff and the lack of welcome feeling. We suspected that much of this was from short staffing issues, and we have a certain amount of compassion and patience in these tougher times. It's just that we came to The Keg with the intention of having a wonderful evening of good service, welcome service and amazing food and wine. And, we just didn't have that. So, we left.

I've been to many Keg Restaurants and I will say, our meal tonight was the best I've had. The Keg St Johns is now my favorite restaurant. Not only was the meal excellent, so was the Service. Our servers whose name is Julia was one great host of your Restaurants. I'm a manager of a large company in Canada and she is valuable. I highly recommend The Keg St John and as well ask for Julia, you won't be disappointed.
