We have heard alot of good things about Kevin's in Moultonborough. We did go there last Friday for ourselves. The food was good but the service just was not there. We waited about ten minutes to place our drink order and another fifteen to place our food order. We ahd been in the rest. for forty five minutes before our food finally came and one of the orders was wrong. By the time the correct plate came, my wife and daughter were already done with their dinner. We ordered refills for our drinks, the waitress was busy so she had her helper bring us refills in coke cans so we could refill our own glasses. Don't get me wrong, I am not bashing the place. The food was good. They do however need to square away the service end of things. Hopefully Kevin can do this before things get out of control with having 2 rest.

i am a very big fan of kevin's but i think at times if they get busy service falls off a lot. we will keep going but last Labor day night was really bad such that if that was the first time we had gone we wouldn't go back, but as I said will continue to enjoy Kevin's great food just hope it is not too busy

My sister went up this past weekend and told me she tried Kevins after hearing me talk about it. I have not been in yet, I was telling her about the good feedback on this forum. She commented about the same thing - the service. She did tell me the food was very good but the service could improve.....Interesting....

chefisk · 04-24-2009, 09:07 AM

Thank you for your feedback on the service at Kevins cafe. We are getting our summer help back, therefore service will be as good as the food that you all have come to enjoy.
As far as Kevin's Cafe at the pier, their is no seating available except for what is on the pier. It will all be take out with the same great food. We have boat parking so that you can have your crabcakes, oysters and chowder to enjoy on your boat.
Again any more information you might want to know about both restaurants will be updated frequently on our website, www.kevinscafe.com
Thank you all and see you soon
Chef Kevin

Kevin - thanks for responding, wish more owners did.

Hi Chef,
When you say "boat parking", are you referring to the public docks at the Weirs, or have you made other arrangements ?
Looking forward to checking out the new local.
Thanks

When you "park" a boat, it's called "DOCKING"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! For goodness sakes, folks, please call it what it should be called!
Aye yi yi!

Thanks!

I think that if you end up with the boat on the dock, it is called parking.

But then, doesn't "parking" have a whole lot of different meanings?????????

(Sorry, fellow posters..... sometimes I get a bit punchy, so to speak.............)

skisox24 · 05-04-2009, 08:29 PM

Wow. The food fare at the Weirs has certainly been uneven over the past decade or so. Kevin can certainly upgrade the quality and variety of the options available to the summer boater and beachbomber. For anyone who has traded at Kevin's Moultonborough venue can attest, the freshness and quality of his product will not be compromised by the demands of a potentially very different clientele.

Rattlesnake Gal · 05-19-2009, 08:35 AM

Did Kevin's open last Saturday as planned? If they did open, has anyone been in?

Meredith lady · 05-19-2009, 10:35 AM

Yes, Kevin's at the Pier did open last weekend and will open 7 days a week beginning this Friday

Woodsy · 06-01-2009, 09:12 AM

Didnt have the best experience...

Saturday afternoon the GF and I decided to take the boat out for a spin and enjoy a late lunch on the water... We looked over Kevin's menu, and it is pretty extensive, lots of choices. I decide on the chicken salad wrap, she went with the BLT, both come with fries. There was nobody in line ahead of us, and 3 ladies working. My GF placed the order, while I went to get the boat uncovered, buffed & fluffed, gassed etc...

I finish all of my tasks and still no GF... I call her cell, she is still waiting for the food! Long story short, 25 MINUTES for 2 easy to make sandwiches! Glad I wasnt blocking the gas dock!

We finally get out on the water to have lunch. Her BLT maybe had 3 pieces of bacon, and my chicken salad wrap was big, but the wrap was kinda stale (you know how they fall apart and taste kinda dry)...

All in all a pretty poor experience....

chefisk · 06-01-2009, 11:37 AM

Woodsy,
Sorry about your experience at the pier. Almost finished working out the kinks here and will be ready for full time service next week gearing up for bike week. I will personally be down there those days and will ensure the service, and food will be what everyone has come to expect at Kevin's cafe in Moultonboro. No one will be dissappointed.
Thank you
chefisk

joann721 · 06-01-2009, 11:58 AM

Hi Kevin,
We made our first trip to the Weirs on Saturday night. Our first stop was for a crab cake. It was delicious served over greens with that heavenly sauce.
YUMMY...

... It was later on Saturday evening - approx 8:00 and it did take awhile to get the crab cake and we did voice the same concern to each other that when the pier gets busy this could be a problem. But we have faith in you Kevin we know you will get the kinks out. The crab cakes are worth the wait... our best of luck to you....
JoAnn
