Incredible dining experience. Everything was amazing as you would expect from Kevin's. The Shrimp cocktail was crisp and fresh, the Filet was cooked perfectly and the cut of meat was exquisite. The espresso martinis, both the vodka and also the bourbon were the best I've had. The staff are what make the dining experience a 10 out of 10, friendly, helpful, going above and beyond to give you the best meal possible. One of the best restaurants, highly recommend

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 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.
