Although its name and décor have changed over time, the dining experience has always stayed consistent. The Keg’s focus has been, and continues to be, on providing exceptional service and quality food in a comfortable atmosphere for its guests.
Quality, comfort and value are three key ingredients that make The Keg experience unlike any other.

Overall, reviews paint The Keg as a place with consistently excellent steaks and reliable cocktails, especially for ribeye, filet mignon, and New York strip, with sides and baked potatoes praised and the menu offering solid value for many diners. The ambiance shifts from intimate, low lighting dining to a lively bar area, and the atmosphere is often described as warm and comfortable, suitable for special occasions. Service is generally friendly and professional, with many experiences featuring attentive staff and smooth pacing, though crowded rooms can feel noisy and rushed, and timing can suffer on busy nights.

Overall, The Keg is viewed as a dependable go to for steak lovers, offering strong dishes and a pleasant atmosphere, while price and occasional service or kitchen hiccups remind guests that experiences can vary by location and night.
Food amazing, service 👍, we made reservations beginning on January for Valentine's Day, we were 20 min early,but gave us a table in the bar, wasn't happy, it wasn't what I wanted for Valentine's Day, a little noise, TV right in front of me.
Been here many times, never have had a bad visit. The service is always good & the food obviously is great. Usually has some good cocktails as well. Can be loud at times.
I won't say too much, because this place is already no secret. Amazing value for the price, & reservations are tough enough as it is. One of the West Island's worst-kept secrets-for good reason.
I want to explain why the service was only three stars at the start of the mail. We went into the lounge. We had to change tables because where we were sitting, there was a major cold draft, but they were very nice & found us a table in the dining room when we got there our server was Frederick. He was a professional. He was funny, but he has no control over the kitchen, & in my opinion the kitchen was understaffed & upside down so you can't blame the server. There was no reason to wait one hour for our meal but the guest service manager Marina took care of us & gave us a bottle of wine on the house & dessert so the way these two people handled, our meal will make me returned & tell everybody it turned out great so when I go now to the keg, for any reason, I will make sure that I will go on the night that Frederick & Marina will be working.
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!
The service was great & the food tasted good, but unfortunately several of us suffered from food poisoning shortly after eating. We all had steak, which leads us to believe the meat may not have been fresh or properly handled. This was very disappointing & overshadowed what otherwise seemed like a good dining experience.
