My go to restaurant

Ah the Keg Mansion. I adore this restaurant. Take the reliability and consistency of the Keg and marry it with a historic stunningly beautiful landmark and you have the Keg Mansion. This is truly a beautiful place and every room of the former house is decorated differently. I highly recommend it.

Keg Quality at a Historic Toronto Landmark

The Keg is consistently amazing for their quality food, service and atmosphere however the Keg Mansion ratchets the atmosphere up a notch by housing their restaurant at the historic Bombay Bicycle Club. The multi level restaurant is in a mansion which is beautifully maintained and lavish. Head there over the holiday season to be immersed in all things Christmas. It feels like magic here.

Not your Average Keg

This location has it all! Great food, fantastic service and the most luxurious of atmospheres. The Keg Mansion features several different upscale dinning rooms, each with it's own feel and decor of upscaleness. For more of a laid back feel, check out the upstairs barroom..you can still order all the same great food they serve downstairs but its more of a sports/pickup bar. The waiters and waiteresses are friendly and nice to look at too, the drinks arent too shaby either...If you've never had a Keg sized Ceasar you really are missing out!

Better than all Kegs

The Keg Mansion is like the more sophisticated older brother of all keg locations. The ambiance alone makes the visit worth while, not to mention the top-notch food (that every keg has). You really can't go wrong.

Keg HQ!

Everyone has been to the Keg... Right? Well if not let me tell you one of the higher up steak houses you can go to. Most Kegs are well rounded chain serving delicious steaks / wines / lobster

However, over at the mansion it is different! you don't have the feel as if your in a chain restaurant the Mansion itself is enriched with history and many famous characters that rumor holds are still there to this day haunting the grounds.

The Keg mansion is different!

I love its steaks, everytime I go I try something different and I'm always pleased with what I get. the setting and building of this Keg location specifically is different from all others. That's because of its Victorian style building and the exceptionally elegant decoration inside and outside, Not like other Keg locations, this one I wouldn't recommend bringing your kids with you to, other locations are definitely more kids-friendly! but in general service and waiters are awsome!

My gf took me to dinner there the other night after my first day in Canada. This place is set up pretty cool, it's an old mansion (as the name implies) that has been completely redone and turned into a restaurant. We were in a side room on the 2nd floor that only had 2 other parties (one was a 10 top) along with 2 servers so the service was pretty attentive. We started with some drinks and the... more

Absolutely love it. In a side-by-side comparison with Ruth's Chris Steakhouse, the Keg wins hands down. Half the price, amazing atmosphere, incredible historic architecture and great service.

Was I ever disappointed.  This used to be a solid place for steaks; now, it's become a tired assembly line franchise.  Not sure what happened over the past few years.  For the price, there are better options and in fact, each Keg seems to be different too (the one on York Street is better).  Steak was way fatty, sides seemed to be slopped together quickly and worst of all - it was all COLD... more

The best Keg I've encountered anywhere. Service is excellent, the architecture and mansion is pure Gothic Victorian Revival of great historical importance to the city. Most important? Food quality 5 stars , great place to meet and mingle. Ask for the solarium on the 2nd floor for a special occasion, separated from all other patrons. The room is a real treat, although very difficult to get over... more

Keg Steakhouse & Bar
March 10, 2010

Known locally as the Keg Mansion, this is one of the best Keg locations. The house itself just adds more ambiance to your dining experience, although there are tales about it being haunted. If that doesn't scare you off, then your meal won't disappoint you either. The steaks are always cooked perfectly, and lately I've been going for the combo platters, which are great value for your money.... more

If you like steak and are prepared to spend a nice sum of money one one you will remember for a very long time, then check out this restaurant in a swanky historical (and haunted) Victorian Mansion. At my most recent meal here at one point I felt the steak I was eating was too good for me. But I kept quiet and pretended otherwise.

My only comment is regarding the noise level. If you want a quieter meal go upstairs and seek out the South East corner area beyond the bar. A lot quieter and I have always received good service. Being a historic bulding (the former Massey Family Mansion) they have done a nice job of interior renovations. Food and Drink are up to the usual high Keg standards, but do I wish they would get rid of... more

I give this one five stars because they actually do not mark up thier wine that much.  You can get a decent bottle of wine for a great price.  Oh and steak, atmosphere and service are also good.  Yes it is a chain but I am never disappointed.The value is good for what you get here.

I'm not sure if there is anything more manly than a steak and unlike other man symbols (pantyhose-1600's, handlebar mustaches-1800's, make-up -1970's) the steak has remained as a marker for your manliness.  There are many ways to eat your steak but one of the best ways is to do it in your giant mansion, or if you don't have your own you can use Vincent Massey's the current home of the Keg... more

The Keg mansion is certainly the best Toronto location of this chain of North American restaurants. The gothic heritage building was built in 1868, during a period of great wealth in Toronto.
