We have dined here often and we have never been disappointed. Bar staff are simply the best humans. Wait staff are always professional and on point. Features are especially delicious. Arrive early for these though they don't have an inexhaustible supply of them!

I don't live in the area but stopped by as I was passing through. As hurricane IDA was just starting to come through the north east I was surprised to find their parking lot full and pretty many people dining in. I was at first going to order to go but the atmosphere was great and staff friendly, and I realized this isn't a place I should take my food to go. I needed to eat it there and enjoy it as intended. Their menu had some great choices that included seafood, pasta, veal, chicken and some standard steak dishes. It took me a long time to decide, but I decided on the Strip Steak. While I waited

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

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

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

I'm late to the party in discovering Kevin's, but it's the nicest fine dining restaurants in the Wilkes-Barre area. Fun seasonal cocktails, great specials and a succinct but well-varied menu will offer something for everyone, of the highest quality. Service is exemplary too.

This place is an absolute fantastic find in the Wilkes Barre area!!! Delicious drinks and the food I sensational. Bar tender extremely knowledgeable and again the drinks are fantastic. We ordered the duck and said we were splitting it and they split it perfectly. This is a place my wife and I will frequent on a regular basis!

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

About a week I tried Kevin's for the first time. I've heard it was inconsistent - either spot on or so-so. The night I was there we ordered 3 main entrees - all were super delicious. The only 2 things that were a tad off 1. The server was extremely friendly but slow. We absolutely would have ordered a few more drinks. 2. The food needed to be hotter.
BUT-- the pasta dish we ordered was fantastic, I had the halibut special-- magnificent!
I'm looking forward to returning!

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.
