Keg Kitchen - Westmont

Great drink selections. Food was wonderful and service was great.

We found Keg and Kitchen to be very good. The menu, while not overly long, has choices for all tastes and preferences, from vegan to omnivores. My wife and I shared the vegan nachos and the tempura asparagus with frittered asiago. Both were richly flavored, the nachos with a pleasantly warming spicing, the asparagus seemingly seared under the tempura. It is worth mentioning that both of these dishes appeared in the small plates, but were larger than most tapas we have encountered. Many of the menu selections were innovative and, observing plates as they came out, nicely presented and generous in size. The beer selection is extensive, although favoring local breweries. The wine list is shorter, but nicely chosen. Both lists characterize the offerings, assisting in making choices. The ambiance was lively. The space is distressed wood, set off by contemporary art, a casual atmosphere. A larger room is dominated by high top tables, and a smaller with more standard seating. The patronage varied from 20 somethings to grey hair. I noted that other reviewers found the noise level moderate. Perhaps holiday conviviality affected the evening, for my wife and I found the conversational buzz very loud. But the restaurant was very busy, all tables taken and turning over. We intend to return, and to take our son and daughter in law, as the food and style will appeal to them. But we likely will avoid a Friday night during the holidays!

I enjoyed the pretzel bites as usual. I ordered the flower flower tacos, but I felt they were missing one of the sauces that usually goes on them, which made them a bit dry. The caramel apple bread pudding was out of this world!

I always have a fantastic experience at K K K. They have a great selection of beers, and the wings are really delicious. My wife loved the market salad with added shrimp, while my fish tacos were spot on. My father-in-law devoured the burger and fries like a pro! We received excellent service from our server, Ciara. Cheers!

This restaurant is a lovely spot for gathering and catching up with friends. However, the food is only average. While there is a wide variety of options, perhaps there are too many. It might be better if they concentrated on perfecting a smaller selection of dishes. The ambiance and service are excellent, but the food falls short of expectations.
