Never too busy. There are also quiet nooks in the restaurant as well as a heated outdoor patio (or former loading dock).

I've been at the Keg twice in the last month and both times the food and service were excellent.
>Milestone's is a chain operated by Cara which runs airline catering for Air Canada. Brunch offering last time I went there (English Bay/Denman St. location in April) was particularly bad.
A month ago I had OUTSTANDING eggs benny at Milestone's
Your mileage may vary.
So it seems. Inconsistent to say the least where there is no pride of ownership and there's often not much pride in these chain restaurants (I'll throw in Earl's among them). A friend of mine who graduated from Dubrelle (culinary institute) was appalled when he saw that one of the cooks at the Granville Islanfd Keg was probably the worst and least motivated student in his class.
