Kevins Cafe

[MikeF-NH]

Last night my wife and I were looking for something different to go out and enjoy our 15th wedding anniversary. We wanted to go up to the lake and hit a restaraunt we heard about but haven't tried before. I recalled hearing about Kevins cafe on this and other message boards and it turned out last night was their "All you can eat Lobster Buffet" night.

It was well worth the drive up! The first impression is how small the place was with 3 tables plus the buffet in the main dining room. Kevin and his waitress (wife?) were very friendly and inviting and the place had a very intimate and family type atmosphere. If you are expecting a four star dining experince with lots of staff and room to roam, you might be disappointed but if you just want good food in a quiet place with a great owner, Kevins is for you.

The lobster and clams were perfectly cooked which was amazing considernig they had to sit in chaffing dishes waiting on hungry diners. The mussels were a bit smallish but well cooked. Kevin put out an amazing chowder and very good seafood newburg. My wife loved his homemade salad dressing (who eats salad when you are out for all you can eat lobster???) and also liked his homemade cocktail sauce with the peel and eat shrimp. We never got near dessert which looked good.

We shared a piece of Kevins prime rib (just because it's offered) and it was so wonderful that we ordered and shared a second piece.

Great little place. Lets keep these small businesses alive with our business...it's a win-win.
