I do go to their different locations quite often, and I appreciate the fact that their steaks are consistently good. But that&#8217;s about it &#8211; there isn&#8217;t much else to talk about on their menu besides their steaks. But this evening I had a fantastic experience at The Keg, West End, being struck by this amazing piece of Kansas City Strip, and the great services.<\/p>\n<p>I was working late at the office and I was starving. So I decided to reward myself with a nice steak dinner. Greeted by a handsome and friendly server Nick, who enthusiastically acknowledged my choice of wine, <strong>Quail&#8217;s Gate Pinot Noir<\/strong> ($14), I was instantly fascinated by the sound of the special of the day, an 8 oz bone-in <strong>Kansas City Strip<\/strong> ($39). Apparently Kansas City Strip is just another name for New York Strip, but usually served with bone-in. I am a sucker for strip loin steaks as they are cut from a very tender section of beef, the short loin. <\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6261\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6261\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/image-4.jpeg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-6261\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-6261 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/image-4.jpeg\" alt=\"Quail's Gate Pinot Noir\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/image-4.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/image-4-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/image-4-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/image-4-174x131.jpeg 174w, https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/image-4-70x53.jpeg 70w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-6261\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Quail&#8217;s Gate Pinot Noir<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6260\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6260\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/image-3.jpeg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-6260\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-6260 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/image-3.jpeg\" alt=\"The Keg, Westend\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/image-3.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/image-3-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/image-3-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/image-3-174x131.jpeg 174w, https:\/\/www.pickydiners.com\/www\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/image-3-70x53.jpeg 70w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-6260\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Keg, Westend<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>I also picked saut\u00e9ed vegetables and a chimichuri sauce to go with my steak recommended by the server, as they provided some lighter and refreshing flavours to balance out the richness of the steak. <\/p>\n<p>And the steak was just pure perfection!
