We came here to celebrate my wife’s birthday while skiing at Whistler for the week. We had a reservation and was seated promptly. They checked our coats which was nice too! Our server was amazing and was prompt and let us know about the specials. He put in our order and everything came out at the appropriate times… we started off with the bread service, beet salad and the hamachi crudo. Our mid course was the cavatelli with truffles and for the main we had the Australian wagyu strip and the sable fish! Everything was delicious!

The Keg is a great spot, and I’ve been visiting this location for many years during my trips to Whistler. However, the bathroom on the middle level is consistently dirty, in massive need of renovation, and honestly grosses me out. I’ve raised this issue annually for the past five years, but nothing has changed. It’s disappointing and doesn’t reflect the high standards I associate with The Keg Restaurant Chain. That said, the food and service are always reliably solid.
