Maybe it’s because you can have your slab of beef seven different ways, from Blue (very rare) to Chicago (charred), maybe it’s the way the choice cuts are marbled, maybe it’s the sterling service or the casual, strategically lit ambiance that keeps The Keg at the top of Coast readers’ list for a steak dinner. Whatever it is, when you’re there, don’t forget to try some of the tasty appies. The sweet hot calamari is a perfect treat to enjoy before the arrival of the meaty main course. 1712 Market, 425-8355
