    Chicken picatta
    Aaron O.

    Been here multiple times and a review is long overdue The food is always top notch My fiancé had the chicken piccata & I had the chicken francaise w/ lump crab meat The piccata is on their regular menu, I make a very good piccata, but this may be my favorite The francaise was excellent The beer selection is always great & they have great mixed drinks/ specials It's a great environment, staff is amazing & they always have entertainment Highly recommend

    Great variety of soups!!

    I've been hearing good things about the 279 for quite some time. I just keep forgetting it's there. We finally made it to the 279 last evening and I will be coming back very soon!! Everything brought to our table was delish and from the looks of the food all scratch made! The soup list blew me away! While I would have normally ordered the crab or lobster bisque, it was a bit late for a heavy cream based soups. I opted for the chicken noodle.. It was obviously homemade and fantastic. Chicken Noodle sounds like a boring soup, but it is rarely done properly! 279 got it right.. I also tried their wings.. I ordered them Xtra, Xtra, Xtra crispy.. They actually came out to my liking! Their Hot Blue wing sauce was perfect. Just the right amount of heat for me and the sauce had plenty of blue cheese crumbles. Our table ordered two different burgers. Both looked fantastic! They were fresh not frozen. Wifey said hers was fantastic! Someone at our table ordered the crab cakes and said how good they were. I rarely like fresh cut fries. Most places have no clue how to execute them correctly and you end up with greasy rubber pencils. 279 did a really great job! I was a little disappointed in the cheese sauce that my wife got on the side with her fries. I would have expected a scratch made beer cheese sauce, but it was from a can, and it wasn't even the highly prized Cheez Wiz.. The 279 is a hidden gem! I'll be back here here very soon! I need to try either a burger or a cheese steak!

    Fantastic wings, had a dozen of the habanero split with the cucumber wasabi wings. Really enjoyed them. The wings were cooked perfect and the drink prices are pretty good as well. Overall I spent a solid 4 hours and had a great time will return.

    279 was recommended by a friend so we decided to give it a go. There were six of us total. My first reaction/opinion of the restaurant was that it reminded me more of a sports bar than an upscale restaurant considering the prices they charge. To start, we ordered the tempura battered jumbo black prawns, Thai style, with gorgonzola cheese. So, no Gorgonzola at all. Hardly tasted the Thai sauce. No flavor. Maybe a suggestion would be to have the Thai sauce as a dipping sauce? So eh, to the shrimp. Anytime filet mignon is offered on the menu, I jump at it. BUT, there were other awesome choices I wanted to try. I decided on Veal Scallopini and Colossal Crab Mediterranean. It was delicious. Crab meat was cooked well. I thought the veal would have been in smaller pieces due to the title of the dish, but still good. Came with artichokes, grilled broccoli, and tomatoes. Fingerling potatoes with garlic and parm cheese served on the side. The bathrooms are very nice. There's a very nice picture of a male model above the toilet. :) My favorite dessert is Tiramisu. It was listed on their menu so I HAD to try it. The presentation of the dessert was great. Our thoughts on it wasn't as good. The cream was a bit thick and very, very salty. I understand what the chef was trying to do with adding a touch of salt, but this went a little overboard. Overall not bad, but wouldn't get again. The service started out pretty good. The server didn't really know the menu. We asked questions and she didn't know the answer. She was at least considerate and went back to the kitchen to get the answer. After we were done eating our entree, she never removed the plates from the table. Weird? Yes. We ate dessert while still looking at our entree plates. Overall experience. Not great.

    Not at all impressed by 279. After hearing rave reviews by other Yelpers and a few other friends, it was quite the letdown. The server was friendly but very uninformed. Didn't know what beers were on tap other than Miller, Coors and Bud. Several questions about the menu were unknown although she did find the answers after consulting with the kitchen. Asked to split the check evenly which would have been around $35 per person, but each person was charged a seemingly random amount. The tempura prawn appetizer was lackluster. Breading was soggy and falling off and not much flavor to the dish. Also overpriced at $11 for 3 shrimp. I had the crab cake entree which was really good, but the sides left a lot to be desired. The Fillet Mignon was well prepared, as was the risotto that accompanied it. The other entrees ordered by our table were just OK. Veal was a little tough and lacked flavor. Grouper was overdone and not anything to write home about. Dessert was just awful. Overall, for me, it felt like it was a bar trying to be a restaurant, but not going the extra mile to complete the transformation.

    Really nice bar. Was completely remodeled from years ago that I could remember. Fantastic staff!! Didn't have any food but what we saw coming out look really good. We will definitely come back.

    a pizza in a box

    Waited 1 hour for a single drink and this poor excuse of an "Old Forge Style" pizza. Use to LOVE this place but I'm not sure what happened with the food or the service. If I could give 0 stars, I would.

    That's 279 fries were excellent! The crab bisque was great! The Sicilian burger would have been better if we wouldn't have gotten it well done... Our bad! Get it medium and it'll be

    First time at Kevins yesterday and it was amazing! It has a cool upscale vibe in what used to be…read morethe 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!

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!

I ordered a Bloody Mary, but nobody knew how to make one, so I canceled it. The bathrooms were stinky and full of flies, with a fly trap sitting on the sink. The counter looked like it had been wiped down with a dirty rag. Our omelets came out greasy, my wife's bacon was forgotten, and my utensil roll had no fork. My bacon, avocado, spinach, and tomato omelet had rock-hard avocado slices and undercooked bacon mixed with bacon bits. Potatoes were just okay but came with no condiments. I barely ate a few bites before I was too grossed out to continue. When I told the server, she just said, "I'll let them know," and still handed me the full check -- no apology or discount. We left cash and got out. Will never be back. Avoid at all costs.

We both enjoyed our sandwiches. I thought the French Dip could use a little more meat for the giant hoagie roll it's on though. Their selections of beers, ciders, etc for both take out and on their menu were great. They carry some really unique items I haven't seen around here. They also carry Rotunda Brewery beers, which is one of my favorites from Hershey, PA. Service was pretty good - it took a little bit to get our checks and then wait for her to come back to get our money. There is some parking behind the building, but there is also street parking. From our experience, we would definitely eat here again.
