Slow night and I'm sure the hustle and bustle of a weekend evening would be worth the visit. This was my first visit to this location and it was a bit confusing. The hostess was not at the front when we arrived. So we waited for her to return. Once we checked in she told us to go up stairs and we'd be greeted by another hostess. I asked if we should use the elevator, to which she replied "ya, that's what elevators are for". Well thanks for the clarification, I didn't know that the stairs weren't an option. Once we arrived on the upper floor we stood there like idiots and had to walk around to find someone to seat us. Not a great start. Food service was pretty good. Our server was friendly and attentive, but lacked that polished service and look that The Keg typically offers. She seemed rushed and perhaps lacking support and communication from her team. I think had there been appropriate support staff, she'd likely have been great. Where The Keg fell short this visit was the mains. My Blackened Chicken was dry, luckily the hot honey helped elevate the flavour. The mashed potatoes were par, and the green beans were sad... Zero seasoning. I brought this up with the server and she did offer to replace them, but they should have never been plated in the first place. The Prime Rib was good, but the crispy onions were limp. Crème Brûlée was perfect. Drinks were great. Certainly room for improvement. But not quite typical Keg caliber. Nothing awful happened so a solid 4 stars.

The service quality was extremely poor, and the staff training was insufficient, which severely…read moreimpacted my dining experience. I felt discriminated against. Firstly, after we were seated, no staff came to serve us. We had to wait a long time before someone finally arrived. Secondly, we were not provided with pre-meal bread and had to ask for it ourselves. Thirdly, after confirming our order with the server, two dishes were served incorrectly. My order of tuna tartare and soup was replaced with a salad and toast. I believe this was a deliberate act rather than a simple mistake! Therefore, I am very dissatisfied with this dining experience.

The Newfoundland Breakfast was a touton with beans ladled on top, a thick fried bologna and topped with an egg cooked your way and some bacon on the side. Place was packed but the food didn't take very long at all. Service was friendly. Can't ask much more from a breakfast place. Quirky interior. A tight fit but worth the slight wait on a Sunday morning. Will be back.

The service was excellent (we moved inside and switched tables because we underestimated the cold evening), and our waitress whipped out a laundry stain remover stick when she noticed us furiously dabbing at a shirt stain.

Estehetically the cakes would have benefited from a little more browning but it is tricky to not dry them out and they were not dry. The Miso COD was thick, flaky and divine!

Known for its fantastic fish and chips with no shortage of rave reviews on Yelp I thought it best to plan ahead and get on the Yelp Waitlist to avoid having to figure out a plan B. The Yelp Waitlist indicated that I was the 34th in line to get a table! WOW this must be a really special place if so many people are waiting to eat here I thought to myself. Discouraged but persistent I thought I'd try my luck anyways and I'm so glad that I did!!! Chafe's Landing did not disappoint! Service exceptional- the staff were so kind to seat us immediately. I ordered the cod fish tacos which were so good. More than enough for me; no room left for dessert. What a great meal

My cousin reminded me about this spot in the Gould's and I was over the moon. I ordered the turkey delight and the plate was piled high and could've easily been shared lol. It was SPECTACULAR in every way. The gravy was delicious and exactly as it should be and the chips are fresh and look hand cut. The green peas were something I would never ask for but was a very pleasant addition in my opinion. There is usually a wait since the restaurant is small but it's usually just 15-30 minutes. They offer take out as well and both times we were there it was booming. I have already told my cousin that Keith's is our first stop on my next trip home lol. The staff were so sweet as well which always heightens any dining experience.
