    Romantic dining rooms in a lovely old house. 6-course Valentine’s Day menu not cheap at $130 but lots of quality here - first four courses (oyster, mushroom consommé, shrimp and crab, gnocchi) innovative presentations and full of flavour, mains (pepper steak or scallops) and dessert (choc mousse) also nicely prepared. Service was impeccable even on such a busy night. Interesting wines on list, typical pricing - we enjoyed an excellent Pinot Noir from Niagara’s Cloudsley Cellars. Highly recommended.

    First visit for Valentine’s dinner and we enjoyed the meal. It’s a quaint cozy space so you’ll be close to your neighbour. Lobster shrimp pasta was fantastic, lamb was good. Staff are super friendly. Worth checking out.

    It was a special day. So we did not have a chance to test random from the menu. But all the food in the fix menu was carefully selected and prepared to guests taste. Service was good and neat, ambiance was very good for such a special day.

    We have eaten at a few different Kegs around Ontario. None can compare to this experience! Not only was the food great, staff very friendly and knowledgeable but the ambience and all over experience and history of this historical building make it EXCELLENT. There is free parking for those that eat here...not just in front but all around the building as well. You have to attend here at least once to experience this place. We will return for sure!
