Best Hot Spot Restaurants in Cambridge

Outstanding experience from the moment we walked in we were warmly greeted. Our coats were checked for us and we were sat within a minute or 2. The service was fantastic very professional and attentive. The food was unbelievable. We ordered the grilled octopus Caesar salad for two made table side. Ribeye to share with mushrooms and potato gratin. Hands down one of the best meals I’ve had in a very long time. Everything was cooked perfectly. And the salad way better than any other top steak houses in the city. I’m definitely returning here in the nicer weather !

Another great experience at the Guelph Keg. The only negative thing I have to say is the corner booth we asked for was freezing. Again I asked for specifically a corner booth. I am guessing because it was Valentine’s Day it was very busy even at 9:30pm and the ventilation was on so it wouldn’t get stuffy. The food was great as usual. 12oz top sirloin was amazing as well as the blackened chicken for the mains. We also had the winter menu Thick Cut Bacon amazing as well. Great Job Keg Guelph we will be back & thanks to our server for taking such great care 👍🏻

Went for my birthday and the space has definitely got a renovation since my last visit in 2021. The food was equally as delicious, service had changed a bit (I do miss the old cutlery) but I understand with the demand and expansion since the WELL deserved Micheline recognition. The food was FABULOUS the octopus was a stand out texture perfectly cook the sala Verda had heat, zest, and herbaceous however, the star were the beans! DESSERT was my favourite course strawberries are my favourite fruits so confidently the gelato was right up my alley. I knew it was incredibly well done when my brother who notoriously dislikes strawberry “ice cream” of any sorts kept matching my spoon for spoon (will be back for the Torta). My only wish was to maybe talk about more with the Som and the employees. I know it’s hard to sometimes be able too in service and some guest just rather not be spoken to during their stay. I kept looking for an opening with everyone who touched our table didn’t work out. CJ was a wonderful server, paced our dishes and drinks, took care of my family wonderfully. Also loved that the table was communicated that it was “ours” until a specific time. It was a wonderfully birthday, thank you.
