First time at Kevins yesterday and it was amazing! It has a cool upscale vibe in what used to be the old Bell Telephone building from what I understand. We started off with their fresh bread & olive oil mix and it was fantastic. Then we moved on to the Chile Lime Shrimp appetizer with coconut rice which was amazing too. House salads were fresh and tasty. Then we moved on to the main course and had the Veal Schnitzel which was fresh breaded tender veal and carrots. We also had the Baked Short Ribs Bolognese. The short ribs tasted like they were done in a red wine base & the pasta sauce was a delicious light marinara. We finished off with a Vanilla Creme Brûlée. Everything was amazing as well as the service where the waitresses and waiters all pitch in at our table. Highly recommended! read more

Brought my Girlfriend here for a birthday dinner & we couldn't have picked a better place. We made early reservations (6:30pm) and were glad we did as the restaurant filled up as our dinner progressed. Our service was stellar throughout & the timing of table service was spot on. We started with the Passionfruit Poached Shrimp Cocktail & Butternut Squash Bisque - both AWEsome! Salads were fresh, too! Main courses were Long Island Duck and Ginger & Soy Salmon - mouthwatering! Dessert was awesome as well. Atmosphere was modern, yet a bit retro - you can tell the restaurant reuses an existing building. All-in-all a 5-star experience - when back in the area, we will be sure to seek out Kevin's! read more

Very good! The service, atmosphere, and ambiance are especially good for a restaurant in this area of PA. Kevin's won't disappoint!

What a gem of a place!!! Loved the ambiance but above all the food was fabulous!!! Our server was very helpful with recommendations. We did partake in each course and all were delicious!!! If you are in the area I highly recommend Kevin's!!!! read more

Great food, great service and the atmosphere is perfect. This is the kind of place I love to eat at because its not just a meal its an experience. read more

Love going to Kevin's! The service has always been excellent, and the food and drink options superb. To some, the prices might seem intimidating, but you truly do get the value of the price, both in quality and quantity. I've never left here remotely hungry, and I'm a big guy lol. We do save Kevin's for special occasions, but look forward to it every time! read more

We visited for date night on a Saturday. We had reservations, which I do recommend as the place was pretty busy. I love the brick and the industrial chic feel of this place. It's tucked away behind the Fidelity bank on Wyoming Avenue but not hard to find. Parking in front is limited; however, there is more parking in the back. The food was amazing! I had the veal scallopini that was topped with spicy peppers, capers, mushrooms and a white wine sauce the flavors came together so well! My fiancé had the salmon, which he loved. The drinks were unique and very tasty. The vanilla bean cheesecake and creme brulee for dessert were so creamy and easily some of the best I've had. Highly recommend!! read more

This is an update to my previous review of Kevin's. Two words... Very Disappointed. I have previously said that Kevin's was hands down the best restaurant in the area. I have truly loved this place. Things have seemed to change and not for the better. We haven't been in for a while due to COVID and we were really looking forward to a good meal. I was initially impressed by the procedures they took for COVID safety. Very clean and excellent social distancing. Then came the meal... I must first say, the oysters were outstanding and we were very happy. The restaurant was clean and not busy at all. We went to dinner around five so as to avoid any dinner crowd. My wife order the grouper special and I ordered the burger. I asked to have it cooked closer to the well side as I don't care for lightly cooked ground beef, regardless of the quality of the beef. It came medium rare. Wasn't what I asked for but I ate it anyway without a word. (Fries were great.) We never send things back...until now My wife's grouper special came very undercooked. She doesn't normally send anything back, ever. However, given the price, I insisted that she ask to have it done to a more appropriate temperature. We asked kindly and with much humility explaining that it wasn't the chef's fault. When it came back the grouper had burnt pieces and was placed back on top of the other items of the dish that were now cold. Same fish on the same plate. Not even re-dressed. We thought the chef either didn't know how to handle items sent back or it was a big FU to my wife for asking it to be prepared to a different temperature. Keep in mind the burnt piece of something right on top (see the picture). Later in the meal the manager Billy came to the table and asked if we needed anything. He was gracious and very helpful. We informed him of my wife's meal and he kindly removed the dish from our bill. We told him he didn't have to do that but he insisted. He was very kind. Dessert was very good. Some of the best creme brûlée we have ever had (and we've had it many many places). Also the dark chocolate lava cake was surprisingly good. The oysters and the desserts are the ONLY reason we are giving two stars and that may be kind. Not certain. read more

Upscale restaurant. Modern, clean, and well-spaced. We loved the pineapple goat cheese wontons, but all of our food was executed nicely. Our server, Mark, was very friendly and had great recommendations. Would visit again if we were in the area! read more

The food is good, but has a limited menu. That may be a plus though in maintaining high quality. The menu does change periodically and that is nice. Perhaps a few more desserts could be offered. The staff is very good and John is THE BEST manager I have ever met; he really enhances the atmosphere! It's great to have him back! John adds 1 or 2 stars to my review. read more

Too expensive and service is just adequate. Ambiance is attractive and inviting. Menu limited for my liking.

Another amazing fine dining restaurant in the 18704 owned by the Friedman group hospitality. Their food is delicious and the service is phenomenal. With a very cool atmosphere, both indoor and outdoor dining. Plus, there are murals painted in the area that you can enjoy during dinner or after dinner thanks to the Street Art Society of NEPA, you can enjoy public art before or after your meal. They are located in walking distance from Wyoming Seminary upper school. read more

Went for buck a shuck night. Excellent oysters. Kevin's in definitely on my favorites list. Chef Matt is amazing and definitely a rising star in the NEPA culinary scene. Extremely talented and creative. John and his staff are beyond friendly and extremely welcoming. If you are a bourbon lover John (bar manager) has put together an amazing selection. Kevin's is by far a culinary must when dining in NEPA. read more

Fabulous food but expensive. Everyone at our table enjoyed their meal. The bread is homemade too. The staff were very friendly and prompt. It's definitely our go-to for special occasions. read more

Great ambience, food is excellent, and staff is always professional. The bartender was always quick to make pairing suggestions.

Got the calamari for the table to share and was not impressed. No flavor there at all and the small bowl of sauce that came with it was bland . We had to ask for lemon to give it some flavor. For main dish I got the tuna and my husband got a filet. My tuna was good but his steak was meh. Like the ambiance. read more

Absolute favorite in NEPA. The table side Caesar is a must! They have some of the best bartenders in area. I've never had a bad drink at Kevin's! I challenge you to try and have a bad meal or experience .. I'm not sure it can be done! read more

Just as others say my food was undercooked. I also brought my 5 year old son with me and we ordered the chicken tenders with fries for him. When they were served I started to cut it up for him so it would cool down faster and the entire inside was raw. My steak I asked for medium and I received rare. Not even medium rare but straight rare. Never again read more

Great location with a simple well executed menu. French onion soup and zuchinni fritters were both fantastic. Definitely a lot of good flavors on the app menu. We ordered a halibut and veal for mains. Incosistant cook on the vegetables but overall well executed dishes that deliver the flavors you expect with no surprises. Very good but straight forward food. read more

A Friday Night Takeout at the beginning of a dinner rush ... and everything was amazing.

This is a great place for drinks which was our main reason for going. The drinks were well-made. I had the St. Germaine and a Manhattan. My friend had the Sangria and another specialty drink. I liked the variety on the drink menu. I had a hard time choosing, which is almost never the case, and the fact that the drinks weren't too sweet or too boozy. Again, they were well-made. My friend and I both went light for food. It's great that they have such a selection of appetizers and small plates. I had a house salad and the red beet hummus appetizer. I loved the red beet hummus, and I appreciated that it was something I can't get anywhere. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and our waitress was great. It took us a long time to order the drinks and then the food, and she was patient and gracious. She was also helpful when we had questions and asked for recommendations. read more

Went with a friend last night we both had the 5 course South American inspired preset dinner with wine pairings. Each course was executed perfectly, portions were perfect size and the wines worked well! Also luv the Tuesday $1 oyster night, paired with the fabulous table side traditional Caesar - best in town without a doubt. Bill the GM is wonderful and could be running one of the best restaurants in Philly we're lucky to have him in the valley read more

Amazing food cooked and seasoned to perfection. We all loved our meals as well as the drinks. Our server Michael was very attentive, professional and personable. Will definitely be going back! read more

Ordered the Weiner Snichzel and my wife ordered filet minion both enters were delicious. However, the side dish of spatzel was absolutely horrible. It was very mushy and tasted like it was two days old. Needless to say it was a disappointment. However, the table made Ceaser salad was excellent as was the waiting service. Hopefully the side dishes for the entrees will improve. Bob S. read more

I enjoy the atmosphere inside the restaurant, it was really clean and had a laid back ambiance to it, also the staff was very friendly and helpful. I didn't get a chance to drink at the bar, but when I went over to see the options ... man was it loaded. They have a lot of drinks available that you can't find even in the stores. I only have one problem with Kevin's and that's the pricing. I paid $38 plus tax for a halibut dinner and it was small. For the portion size of the meal it should of been $20-$22 or less. It was served over a bed of basmati rice with a small helping of broccoli. The halibut and broccoli was great tasting, but the rice was just ok. If price and small portion size isn't an issue for you, then I highly recommend Kevin's restaurant. Giving this 3 out of 5 because of the price per portion size. read more

Excellent food, wonderful staff, welcoming atmosphere. We are always made to feel comfortable and that they are glad we are there. Great craft cocktails at the bar. If you happen to be there when skate is the special, do not miss it! read more

Absolutely wonderful experience all around at Kevin's. The drinks, apps and entrees are amazing! It is probably the best place in NEPA to get oysters and the grilled octopus was incredible. On top of all of that, the Tableside Caesar cannot be beat! read more

Service was lackluster. Steaks were overcooked. No one cared. I won't be going back. Wouldn't recommend Kevins at all.

Not only is this an awesome place for great seafood, steaks and appetizers BUT having a baby shower here was spectacular !! The food was superb as well as the service and amenities. Young and old loved the food selection. Chicken Parmesan , hangar steak, mashed potatoes and penne pasta with vodka sauce was the absolute BEST!! Appetizers were amazing. You will not regret your choice here. Seating for 75 was perfect and could easily handled a few more. The display shower in the room on the side worked out great. read more

Been there several times always great food service and professional bartenders...We had our wedding reception there last week in upstairs private room with bar and private restroom.. 30 of us had great time.. Annette and the rest of staff treated us like gold!!! Thanks again Kevin's.. Joe and Linda. G.Keep those oysters coming!!! read more

We went twice with a large group particularly to have the $1 oysters. Service was good but the oysters were almost minuscule. Definitely not worth it. We were looking for somewhere like the old Doc McGrogans that used to have "buck a shuck". We had onion soup that was served lukewarm and all of the entrees were, "meh". Nothing at all to write home about. read more

Great place to eat Al fresco in the summer time. Big beautiful flowers everywhere, great wine, tasty appetizers and hot bread served complementary with an olive oil dip. The entrees were excellent. read more

Went Saturday nite last minute decision and booked thru Opentable 6:30 res. When we arrived I commented to my wife how the changed things since our last visit. We approach hostess and said we made an reservation on Opentable and she said oh we don't check for those? Lucky it was early and not too busy so we were able to be seated. Drinks as always excellent. Clams were dry and tasteless As was Caesar salad and I bit into a crouton that broke a tooth it was so hard. Veal Saltimbocca was highlife of the meal albeit a tiny almost small plate size. Wife enjoyed her meal of puff pastry crab something. Overall I was disappointed and for $ would go elsewhere. read more

Disappointing and lousy. No table side Caesar salads. Steaks were over cooked. Waitress offered to box it up when I told her - no offer to rectify it. Would not recommend. read more

Eggplant appetizer was very good as was the butternut squash soup. For dinner we had the salmon and then the veal special. Each were very tasty. Service was good and was very reasonably priced read more

Will never visit again the whole dinner took almost 3 hrs. Service was horrible. Found hair in the food. The waitress was in no rush to get anything done nor could she keep the orders straight. It took an hr for them to put bread out, 1.5 hours just to be served salads and appetizers, those were mixed up w missing servings. Their excuse was because they were having an Octoberfest, which they were not even busy. The manager left early so we couldn't even talk to him. It's sad because the cook staff did a decent job (except for the hair), when the food finally did come out. I blame it squarely on the waitress and manager for the horrible experience. read more

Food tastes like ass! Smells like shit in there. Idk. Interior is odd. Overall terrible experience.

Everything was amazing. The shrimp and crab cocktail appetizer was large and delicious. The bread with olive oil is well seasoned. And the chicken marsala was the best I have ever had. The desserts were delectable as well. Will definitely be returning soon. read more

service was slow, not acknowledged at our table for 15-20 minutes, no apologizes for the wait, steaks overcooked ordered medium rare came out well done and manager questioned if that is the way we ordered, took it back but never apologized for overcooking the steak, portions were very small for the price, for a high end restaurant very overrated and manager and staff don't seem to care about customers read more

The staff of this restaurant cleary has neither regard nor respect for their customers. Shocking, considering without customer, there is no business. During a recent visit to Kevin's, my three dinining companions and I waited 90 minutes to receive our entrees. In addition, after we finished dinner and our plates were cleared, we waited another HALF HOUR for our bill. This all came after the servers spilled a martini AND olive oil on me. The saddest part of this dining debacle is that no one apologized for the wait for dinner, the wait for the bill or the spills. This staff demonstrated copmplete apathy. It was my first and last visit to a restaurant who clearly doesn't care if I'm there anyway. read more
