    What can I say, Kevin's consistently delivers! Drinks are awesome. Food is always great: their Caesar salad is the best in the area. My wife loves cream based soups and Kevin's constantly comes up with new ones: this week it was Cauliflower. This week we had steak: high quality cooked to perfection. And service recovery at its best when the Kitchen tossed a curve and the steak arrived with Truffle sauce (of which I am allergic.) Kudos to John, Jen and the entire team for always making a meal at Kevin's a marvelous experience. If you are visiting the area, of all the Friedman restaurants this is a must stop.

    Kevin’s is always a good stop. Small menu which includes a bit of everything. Great bar and great service.

    Kevin’s never disappoints. In spite of the fact that they were very busy not a detail was missed. The cocktails, dinner, service and ambiance were all wonderful. We love Annette, John and the bartender whose name started with a D.

    Kevin's was a new to my wife and I as we are from out of town. In the area for a conference. We had the very first reservation for the night so the place was empty when we arrived. The menu is very interesting and had lots of great choices. Drinks were superb. Our server was very attentive without being over bearing. She had no one else to wait on at the time so we definitely benefited from that. Started with fresh oysters - perfectly presented - and the goat cheese wontons - absolutely worth it. Moved to Ceasar sald and onion soup. Soup was perfect, all bubbly cheese and rich broth. Salad was lacking. Said they make their own dressing, but it wasn't very dynamic for me. And, there was not enough dressing. Mostly tasted like washed lettuce. Food entrees there was the mahi mahi special which was perfect. Well seasoned and decent portion. The chicken/ pasta dish (can't remember the name) was really delicious. Didn't do dessert as we had a concert to get to. Service was great, music a little loud. I had a hard time hearing my wife, and we were one of only 4 tables at the time. All restaurants are super expensive these days, but at least i feel like I got value this time.

    Tuna special was awesome - sushi grade rare one of the best pieces of tuna I have ever eaten. As always the service was outstanding. This is one of our favorites because the food and service are consistently so outstanding!
