How many times have you gone out to eat, casual or fancy, and the food and experience just was not worth the time and money? Well tonight we went out to dinner at the Keg Steakhouse, located in Lynnwood, WA. It has been a while since we have eaten there. You know how it is, time to tighten the belt and finances. People today are eating in more than they are eating out, and today was an example of that. The Keg restaurant was slow for a Sunday afternoon. Usually, there is a 15-20 minute wait, sometimes even longer. Our family of four was able to walk right in, and be seated.
The Keg is known for their Prime Rib so that is what three of us ordered. The waitress was very nice and extremely attentive to our needs and requests. The bread and salad came quickly, and the water was constantly being filled. There was a little bit of a wait for our food, given the fact that they were not very busy, however soon the food arrived and we were all eating. The waitress again, came to see if we were doing well, and needed anything. The thing that I really liked was that 3 minutes after we received our food, she did not come and ask us "How is everything". I hate that. So many times, I want to say "Well, I don't know you just gave it to me, give me a moment to try a few bits".
It appeared that my husband's Prime Rib was cold, however, as soon as we let our waitress know, she was jolly on the spot to get him another. The General Manager soon came to our table with the fresh, hot Prime Rib, apologizing for the quality he had received. We were impressed how quickly they fixed the problem and we were back eating and enjoying our dinner again. Shortly after we completed our meal, we had our table being cleared and boxes being offered.
Overall, this was a nice dinning experience that we thought was well worth the time and money we spent. I would give this overall dinning experience and restaurant 4 out of 5 stars. The only thing that could have made this better was the wait time before our dinner came, and the fact that we had a cold Prime Rib, however, it was resolved very quickly.
For those who are looking for a nice dinning experience, I would recommend giving them a try. We have been to The Keg many times, but I think this was one of the nicest experience. In this economy, restaurants are all having a hard time, so they have to be competitive and the Keg did that tonight.
What has your dinning experiences been like? Who do you like best? Who do you like least?
Let me know your thoughts and who you would recommend.
