    My husband and I went for a special Valentine's weekend dinner. Service was attentive. Food was unique, very fresh and delicious. The decor is modern, sophisticated and westcoast. Definitely fine dining but not stuffy. Parking was easy and we could walk inside to the restaurant which was great on a rainy night. Host gave us 3 hours free parking and said to let the know if we needed more. Will definitely be back!

    My experience at the keg was truly one of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had! My partner and I recently got engaged, and we decided to celebrate with a special dinner on Valentine’s Day and I’m so glad we chose this place. From the moment we walked in, the staff were incredibly welcoming and friendly. The food and everything from the appetizers to the main course was incredible. And the service was quick. This was such a wonderful experience and I will definitely be returning to the keg on granville island for future special occasions.

    Beautiful views and great food. Very busy on Valentine's Day but the service was good and ambience was great. Sometimes a little cold by the windows. There was heating but it was intermittent. Sometimes too hot sometimes too cold
