    It was a special day. So we did not have a chance to test random from the menu. But all the food in the fix menu was carefully selected and prepared to guests taste. Service was good and neat, ambiance was very good for such a special day.

    We have eaten at a few different Kegs around Ontario. None can compare to this experience! Not only was the food great, staff very friendly and knowledgeable but the ambience and all over experience and history of this historical building make it EXCELLENT. There is free parking for those that eat here...not just in front but all around the building as well. You have to attend here at least once to experience this place. We will return for sure!
