Went for a dinner this time with the family. Had an incredible dinner from the appetizer to dessert. The staff was amazing, service was fast and precise. The food was delicious, everything was cooked perfectly and came out hot. The drinks were perfect as were made by a professional bartender. The price was on par for an amazing dinner. My wife and I have eaten here quite a few times and honestly have never had anything other than an wonderful experience.

Food was wonderful .... music was so loud you couldn't even hear yourself think we told him that it was really loud and we were trying to have a conversation and had to basically yell over the music. They turned it down a little bit, but it's a dining room, not a dance club. .

We went to Kevin’s with friends before going to FM Kirby center. The service was excellent. The food was very good. 3 of us had the veal snitzel which was sooo good. Our friend had the pork chop which she said was good. We all shared the bread pudding which was outstanding. We had a great time.

Our experience was top notch from the beginning to the end of the dinner. Great cocktails, food and Mark was our server and he was very friendly and attentive throughout the evening. Buck a shuck on Tuesdays to start our dining, then salmon, halibut and schnitzel entrees for dinner. The butternut squash bisque was also delicious . Creme brûlée and cheesecake to end the evening. Kevin’s is one of our favorite places to eat. We love to go often.
