THE KEG, 5 Place Ville-Marie
I ventured into the place a short time ago with a friend of mine. Until then, i had never eaten in a KEG, however, i have been there in the past to have a few drinks at the bar.
When i walked in, i was greeted by two friendly, incredibly hot-looking young ladies. When they asked me if i wanted to sit at a table, i mentionned to them that i was supposed to meet a friend of mine at the bar. Our plan was to meet up at the bar, having a couple of drinks, then sit down at a table to eat.
As we were enjoying our drinks (i had ordered a blue, my friend had ordered a KEG caesar), i noticed a middle-aged man & a gorgeous young blond woman staring in my direction. Suddenly, it hit me: "Hey, i know this young woman!"
We hugged one another & she introduced me to her date, who happened to be one of the gentlemen who's sometimes visible on the boards. For obvious reasons, i will refrain from naming who they are, other than to refer to them as 'Romeo & Juliet' in this thread.
My buddy, who is not a hobbyist, recognized the young lady since he had seen her on my arm several times in the past, and greeted the gentlemen like they had been friends for years. Everyone got along great, and the alcohol was flowing!
Approximately 20 minutes or so later, a sexy young waitress came over & told us that our table was ready. We invited the couple over & all four of us sat down & ordered another round of drinks.
Along with my buddy, i ordered the Prime Rib, which is one of the house's specialities. He took his medium-rare, while i took mine well-done. He asked for fries, i opted for the mashed potatoes. The gentleman with the lady ordered a New York steak, and to be honest, i do not recall what the young lady ordered since i was way too busy all evening long admiring her considerable busom! :thumb:
Prior to receiving our main dish, my buddy & myself had each ordered a shrimp cocktail, which was absolutely excellent! The shrimps were huge, they were prepared just right, and the horseradish sauce was very good.
Once dinner over, we were sent a round of tequila shots, and we all got up, toasted one another to quite an evening we had, and drank the tequila, something i hadn't done in ages. To my surprise, it went down quite well, as opposed to the last time someone got me to drink a shot of Jameson's.
The food was excellent, and the ambiance was tremendous. Next time if i happen to return, i will opt for the two lobster tails.
The eye-candy walking by our table was a sight to behold! However, they had some competition from the lady sitting at our table, and i must admit that i was quite envious of the gentleman accompanying her.
All in all, i walked out of the place having spent approximately $80, including tip. It was great value for what i had ordered, and we all had a wonderful time.
I strongly recommend.
I have never been to the KEG restaurant located in Old Montreal, but i plan on checking it out the next time i'm in town. This time, though, i plan to take a young lady out on a date & hopefully we'll have a romantic dinner together...just like the couple who we met last week at the KEG. :eyebrows:
