Tony Roma's

This was an interesting adventure. We ordered steak dinners (I know it is a rib place) and we had to send them both back. One of the steaks had to go back twice and it still was not done right. April ordered hers medium well, which came back that way the second time. I ordered mine well done (I also know that some people are against this but I will discuss it in a later post). The first time mine came back it was bleeding all over my plate, as well as the second time. The third time it came back it was medium well so I kept it, I was getting hungry. I gave up on my vegetables which were soaked in blood. I was also upset with them about the vegetables. The hostess told us that for the vegetable there was corn on the cob. We knew it probably wasn't Taber Corn (though it is a marketing scheme based off of Taber Corn) but we thought that it would be fun to have with our dinner. When the waiter brought us our dinner it was the usual cut waxed beans and carrots. You could tell they were frozen by the rubbery texture. When we asked him about the corn he told us we had to ask for it. We thought that strange since we were told the corn was the vegetable. We didn't make a big deal about it though because of the ordeal over the steaks.

Oh and the washrooms were a mess.

The Keg

The keg has to be one of my favorite restaurants in Lethbridge right now. I was first impressed with the decor and the art on the walls. We had to wait for a few minutes but it wasn't a long time, besides it was a pleasant atmosphere so I didn't mind as much. The Keg is probably near the top, if not at the top, of the price range for restaurants in Lethbridge. If you order a water you have a choice of getting it in a glass or a bottle. The bottle of water is Evian, but comes in a glass Evian bottle which costs about $7. We ordered a drink based off of an obscure description and they made it for us. The food was perfect, and our waiter was great. I really had no complaints.

It has been a long time I know.

I am going to continue with this though I have had a long break. There has been a lot happening with me that has kept me busy but I have attended several restaurants in during my hiatus. I will mention one that stood out and then I will continue with current visits.
