J'ai adoré mon expérience au Keg de Pointe-Claire. L'ambiance pour le souper est très intime & discrète, avec une luminosité tamisée tout simplement parfaite. La nourriture, les alcools & le service étaient excellents !
?I loved my experience at The Keg Pointe-Claire. The dinner atmosphere is very intimate & discreet, with perfect low lighting. The food, drinks, & service were all excellent!
So we went there last night on Friday night December 12th. We went for a late supper. We got there around 9:30 I believe so when we got there we didn't have any reservation. But the young lady at the door was very helpful in finding us a table within a few minutes. She invited us to go have a drink at the bar, which we did. Meanwhile waiting for our table. I was happy they had Bumbu rum & my son had one of they're featured drinks on the menu. It was a Gin basil lemonade I think either way they were both very well made. Very good drinks. Our table was ready before we got served our drinks. That's how fast it was. We had a nice booth & a corner with a view of that fireplace, the restaurant, the bar, television...It was really really comfortable.
So my son ordered the prime rib 14 oz with the grilled vegetables. I had the 10 oz filet mignon & we asked for....he wanted it rare.... I wanted mine medium rare & the cooking was spot on PERFECT?? It was perfect. The food was very good. The plate presentation & quantity(see pics)....Everything was excellent
Especially the service....o m f g...the reason I gave a five score is we were served by Alycia P & thanks to her I'm giving five stars. The service was impeccable. It was as if we were royalties. She was really really good. Very professional, polite & beautiful .There was nothing I could say. There's just perfect service. Perfect perfect service! So if you're going & you're lucky you'll be in Alycia's section 🙂
Either way though I know Alicia gave 100% service which was the reason I made it at five ⭐ but.... the food was also excellent. The seasoning on the filet mignon & the size, the quantities. Like I said, I also had a Monte Carlo potato which is very much suggested btw ..So look at our pictures. We'll show you a couple of pictures of our food & stuff & our drinks & of course I recommend you go there. Obviously this place is really really good......It's you know... one of those rare restaurants where you can still get a great meal with great service & a great setting & also they have everything there. They have the whole combination so you definitely want to go. This is a if you haven't been or if you're not sure where to go, don't question yourself go here KEG RESTAURANT FAIRVIEW POINTE-CLAIRE you won't regret it & once you had a great meal write a nice little review to show your gratitude... It helps them out & it's an honest review...so go check it out...NOW! hehe
Stop procrastinating invite a friend, your sister, your mother, anybody ...your neighbor go alone even or if you have a couple of friends go eat there.... Go try it! There's one at Fairview Mall we went to in Pointe-Claire & we were lucky enough to be in Alycia's section so not only did we get amazing food but we got their best employee for table service & also the table was even amazing like where we were sitting. So go to the Fairview Mall. It's on the Southeast corner of the building FAIRVIEW POINTE CLAIRE. Can't miss it, Won't regret it!
Thank you Alycia!
Local West Island steak house, not cheap but very trendy, great staff & cocktails. You are looking at 100$ each with a few drinks & dessert of course. They o have drink specials at 5 to 7pm at the bar though.
I recently visited The Keg Steakhouse & left with mixed feelings. To begin with, the restaurant was extremely crowded. While a busy dining room can sometimes create a lively atmosphere, in this case it felt a bit overwhelming & made the experience less relaxing. It also added a sense of being rushed, both for the guests & possibly for the staff.
On a positive note, the service was very fast. Our server was attentive, & the dishes arrived quicker than expected, which is always appreciated, especially on a busy evening. The drinks were also a highlight of the night-well-prepared, balanced, & genuinely enjoyable. It was clear that the bar staff know what they're doing, & the cocktails were one of the best parts of the visit.
However, the food itself didn't quite meet expectations. The meals were not as tasty or flavorful as they should be for a steakhouse of this reputation & price range. The seasoning & overall quality felt underwhelming. Considering the cost, we were expecting a richer taste & a more memorable dining experience.
Overall, although the service was efficient & the drinks were excellent, the crowded environment & the disappointing food made the visit less satisfying than hoped. The quality-to-price ratio simply didn't feel justified. I hope the restaurant can improve the consistency & flavor of their dishes, because at the moment, it doesn't fully meet the standards its prices suggest.
It was the 1st time for KEG. I usually visited'Ri* & Ree*' for steak , in this time I got a chance to visit with gift card.
The KEG's service was good, especially thank you, Nick!
The mood was casual & comfort.
But their foods were too too salty. I felt some pain on my tongue by too much salty & we needed to drink a lot of water throughout & after meal.
Salads, steaks, even mushroom, baked potato were salty for us. There was a nice place but I won't visit again.

I've been to a few Keg locations & this one is the best by far. Great atmosphere & decor, the service is impeccable & the steak is to die for. I've tried several different cuts & I'm definitely a NY strip kinda gal.Everything is always very fresh & delicious. Drinks are also very good. Highly recommended!
We were 3 couples out for dinner at the Keg in Fairview Pointe-Claire with a 6:15 reservation. My wife had noticed that there is a happy hour till 6pm so we contacted our party & suggested we arrive at 5:30 ish to take advantage of it. Upon arrival we were directed to the bar area. There were lots of empty tables around the bar but we were told that we could not sit there. You need to order food if you want to sit there. The bar stools were not ideal for a party of six. Keep in mind that we only needed the table for 45 minutes until we moved to the dining area. We insisted a bit & they finally went to get special permission from a manager who agreed that we could use a table. They made it look like they were doing us a favor for us to spend our money in their establishment. Go figure! What ever happened to the customer is king! I'm sure some MBA wrote the rules to maximize profits. He or she probably skipped the class on don't piss of the customer cuz they may not come back or worse, tell their friends to pick another restaurant. If this had been the only hiccup during the evening, we might have been willing to let it slide. But no, at 6:02, we asked our waitress to bring on the second round of our happy hour drinks. We were in for a rude awakening. The'rude' word ended up being rather appropriate. Our waitress said we missed the happy hour & it was too late. I responded with' you've got to be kidding me'. By now, it's 6:03 & she doubled down.'There nothing I can do' she quipped.'Why didn't you come around to let us know it was last call' as is customary. No response.'Had we known that, we would have ordered the 2 drinks at the same time' I chimed. This time, I did get a response;'you not allowed to do that'. The 6 of us were getting very hot under the collar. The evening was spoiled. So the Keg managed to attract us with a happy hour policy but then found a way to piss us off royally. We thought of all leaving but we decided that we would be punishing ourselves. After all, we were out to have a good time & we did not want a rude bar waitress & an unfriendly Keg policy to spoil our evening. It might be a while before we book a reservation at the Keg.
Wow belle expérience ce soir. Le serveur sur la coche. Mon filet mignon saignant était exactement ce que j'avais envie de manger. Je recommande à 100%. Bon, un peu dispendieux par contre. Bloody Ceasar en drink, pas d'entrée, repas principal, café régulier, taxes & pourboire de 20%= 90$. C'est pas donné mais c'était délicieux. En plus, d'avoir passé une super belle soirée avec des ami(e)s.

Wow! This was by far our best visit to The Keg! SANJAY our server was fantastic, professional & friendly , very impressive! That Brie entree was probably the best entree I've ever had, everthing else was top notch, steaks, salads, potatoes, veggies, escargot. We noticed amazing prices on food & drinks for happy hour between 4 & 6 or 9 & midnight. We will be back very soon for that!
Located right next to Fairview, this Keg has a really nice ambiance. It is warm & inviting from the moment you walk in. The staff are welcoming & attentive, making the whole experience even better. Steaks are cooked perfectly, cocktails are spot on, & everything is consistent in quality. A great spot for dinner or drinks.
I highly recommend!
Amazing dinner. For appetizers, the bacon wrapped scallops stood out as a winner. Our steaks were cooked perfectly, especially impressive as our group all had different preferences. Our waiter was attentive, & recommended fantastic drink options.
The quality of this restaurant is getting worse & worse. Such a shame, it used to be so good. But clearly, the kitchen staff need training on how to cook a steak. Terrible cooking & the service is extremely slow, even if the room is quiet. The waiter wasn't able to explain any drinks & kept bringing us dirty glasses & even brought the wrong beer. This is not what it used to be but the managers clearly are too busy elsewhere

Cozy atmosphere, wonderful & friendly service! Love how they bring the small shaker for the martini drink at the table. Food was on point. Great experience. Thank you Keg for a memorable night!
The Keg is usually always a good consistent meal & it has been until my most recent visit. The food was underwhelming & didn't taste as good as it usually does. This was said by 4 people at the table & we had filet mignon, baseball steak, salmon, hamburger. The service is always quite strong which it was, but the mixed drinks also tasted watered down. Not sure if it was an off night, but we left in disappointment vs. usual expectations.
I went the other day with a friend, it had been a little while since I had been. They have a very decent happy hour with good prices on wine & drinks. We had the beef sliders from they're bar menu, we also had the tuna tartare. Both were excellent. The staff was also very welcoming & professional. I'd say probably one of the better places to grab some drinks & food in the west.
