Suggest appetizers and desserts be a tad larger/more. They are good, but seem small. The new onion soup is not as good as the former recipe. Good, but not as good. Main course was very good. Schnitzel

Everything from the moment our date night started and we hit the restaurant doors .The attentive service ,food ,drinks & atmosphere was amazing . The smaller menu I think was a good choice for them, you don’t see that much . For me I think a more inmate menu gives a restaurant a better chance to perfect their dishes and doesn’t over whelm the customer. Over all a great experience.

The octopus appetizer was beyond amazing -- would highly recommend (the best I've had anywhere in the US)!! All the food was very tasty, especially the salmon, but I would give the steak a 4 out of 5 (while it was tasty, it was a bit chewy). The ambience is great -- it has a high ceiling and a cool vibe. The cocktail menu had some great options as well. The staff was excellent all around -- even accommodating a last minute change in our reservation time. Overall, a great place for dinner with friends, date night or a family celebration (with older kids). Go and order the octopus!

Anniversary dinner so we chose Kevin’s. Amazing cocktails at the bars. They are real pros. Started with raw oysters. They would cold clean and very good. We also had the grilled octopus. Some of the best we have had. Main course was duck and veal. Both very top notch. Wine selection and recommendations were spot on. We will come back for sure.

Extremely easy to make reservation through open table. Table was ready as soon as we walked in. Music playing outside was loud. I like to have a conversation without raising my voice. The duo that played was very good but they didn’t need a speaker. The area was small so everyone could hear them play. The food and drinks were excellent. And the service was outstanding. We will surely be back again and again.

This was a nice surprise. The food was just as described, delicious and definitely worth a repeat visit. The location is a little odd. Behind a bank and next to a street of row homes, but the inside was very nice. The drink, a watermelon punch, was delish. The french onion soup and Kevin's salad was so good, I would go back just for those. The entrees were good. The desserts, a bread pudding and creme brulee were very good. The server was very friendly and helpful.

The menu the food the service the atmosphere are all impeccable. And, it’s a fun place! We went on back shack night and it was so worth it.
