Among the best meals, and experiences, we've had. From apps to dessert, the food was lovingly and creatively prepared. The bar was amazingly well-stocked, with both affordable and luxurious choices. (Who has grappa these days??) Our signature cocktails were exceptional. For a white-linen restaurant, the value was very good. Servers were professional, friendly, capable, knowledgeable, and amazingly speedy. John is doing great things as the restaurant's manager. Atmosphere is just right: high-end, yes, but fun and as casual us you wish. We wondered why we haven't been back in a while. We'll return soon. Our daughter's wedding rehearsal dinner was held here ten years and a few months ago. We also love Bank + Vine, Cork, and The Beaumont Inn. Brava! Bravo! Go!

When we walked through the door, we were promptly greeted and seated. The service was wonderful. We were always taken care of. The servers continually checked in to see if we needed anything without being overbearing. Everyone on the staff was extremely personable. The food as usual was on point. From the drinks to the apps to the desserts, it was all perfectly prepared. We've been there multiple times and it has always been the same experience. Perfect.

Went for a night out with my husband. The drinks were absolutely delicious! The calamari— amazing! My husband got the shrimp and scallop sambuca… soooo many large scallops! I got the pork chop. I was hesitant to order it because every time I have ordered that anywhere else it has been so dry. This was the opposite of dry. It was juicy and tender— even better than any steak I’ve had!!! Can’t wait to go back and get it again!

Parking: Parking along side the building and behind.

We sat outside again at Kevin's on a wonderful Saturday evening and had a great meal. Mark, our waiter, was very good. Our meal consisted of the summer salads, the ginger & soy glazed salmon, and the shrimp & scallop sambuca. Dessert was the lava cake. Funny that this was actual the same meal we had at the start of the summer.

Lovely place with lovely food. We all had steak which was lovely. We sat outside and our waiter was super. Although one steak was overcooked and had to be sent back in, we got a new one which was perfect. The chocolate fondant just has to be experienced…
We will come back here.

We always have a wonderful experience at Kevin's. Food, service and cocktails always top notch. We especially enjoy John's table side Caesar salad. So delicious and light and NOT the usual heart attack on a plate that you will often find at other restaurants. Truly one of the consistently BEST restaurants in the area.

8 pm on a Friday the service and drinks were great. The appetizer goat cheese and pineapple wontons were OK, goat cheese in a wonton wrapper with a pineapple sauce. The goat cheese was creamy but that pineapple sauce had trouble cutting through the tartness of the goat cheese. The main courses were the pork chop and the duck. Both were cooked as requested. The pork chop was served with a bacon hot honey glaze. There was little to no hot honey flavor and with just the bacon and pork chop the dish was overly salty. The duck was supposed to be served with a blueberry couli but that was non‐existent. The little they may have put on the plate was absorbed by the under seasoned potatoes. The breast and confit leg were cooked nicely but, because of the fatty richness and no sauce, were hard to finish. Our server, Mark, was incredibly friendly and attentive. Overall the experience was mediocre and we probably won't be returning.

My wife picked this place because it was recommended by some friends and it was our anniversary. When we got there (it was a Wednesday evening), it seemed like a nice place. The atmosphere was nice, like a speakeasy bar. We were seated right away and had a nice little booth. Waiter took our order for our drinks and food. I got myself a nice smoked cherry old fashioned, which was really smooth, and my wife got a no-jito (mock mojito). We didn't know we got bread with garlic oil (not sure), which was a neat. Flavor was okay.we started off with the goat cheese wontons, I have to say were very delicious. Fir dinner I ordered the veal and my got the pork chop, veal was also only ok, it was missing flavor and I couldn't put salt because there was none on the table, the pork chop wasn't great either, definitely over salted and my wife didn't want to be rude and send it back.
Overall, it was an okay experience, nice people, nice place, the food could be better maybe just caught them on a bad day or something but I'd recommended this place, just not to expect amazing for the price.

Only negative: wine is too expensive. I think the 1 glass of Bordeaux, I think 4 ounces, was $16.00?? Ridiculous!

I had a guest that was a vegetarian and there was only one vegetarian type choice on the menu so I asked the waitress if they could provide a pasta or risotto dish and they went back to the chef to provide an oricchietto with sauce dish. Not ideal but at least they accommodated. Waitress was very attentive and excellent.

Reservations needed, I didn’t know that prior, the manger was able to squeeze us in.
The fish was excellent, we had the salmon and wolffish special. The drink were great and the overall experience was wonderful. We will be back again.

We sat outside on Saturday evening and had a wonderful meal. Beth, our waitress, was a very pleasant person. Our meal consisted of 2 arugula salads, the shrimp and scallops sambuca, and the salmon entree. Dessert was the lava cake. As Kevin's inside is on the louder side inside the building, having a wonderful dinner outside was great.

Excellent food, personable and caring staff. The food was absolutely delicious and prepared perfectly. The waitress provided phenomenal recommendations. The manager was present and actively engaged in the guest's experience. Cannot recommend this restaurant enough.
