I went in for lunch and ordered the Steak Frites. It was delicious and perfectly cooked and the peppercorn cream sauce was very flavorful. They subbed my fries for the brussels sprouts which were absolutely delicous! Our waiter was very attentive and invited us to look around the rest of the dining room. When we came back, they had artfully refolded our napkins for us and it made me giggle. We ate in the main dining area in front of the kitchen which was a great atmosphere, but we loved the different rooms and all the different vibes that Kirkwood had to offer. read more

This is a fantastic new restaurant. Great decor. Outstanding service, and food. Have been there twice already and thoroughly enjoyed both experiences. A new go to restaurant for us. read more

Highly Recommend! We live in the neighborhood and it's awesome to finally have a nice place to go to for cocktails and good food. This area really needed something like this. Great service and the restaurant was very nice and organized with good ambiance. We sat at the bar and watched some of the game with our meal. Service was excellent. Staff were very nice and helpful. Food was excellent. Everything we had was fresh. We had the short Rib with mash potatoes and it was excellent. The Cesar salad is very good as well and you can tell it's fresh and not dressing out of a bottle. They have a "sun room" in the back with a bar and that room is very nice. We didn't see it until the end but would be a great place for dinner. Ty the bartender was great. read more

I hate leaving negative reviews, but unfortunately the food was mediocre and the service was disappointing. I came here to celebrate my friend's birthday and was truly underwhelmed by the experience. Our server seemed largely inattentive and rarely checked on our table throughout the evening. To make matters worse, the USA soccer game was on, making the restaurant extremely loud and not ideal for a special occasion. The complimentary bread service was the highlight of the meal--the sun-dried tomato butter was phenomenal. However, my steak frites was overly salty and fell short of expectations. What was most frustrating was the birthday dessert situation. I specifically asked our server if my friend would receive a complimentary birthday treat, and he said yes. Later, he apologized for forgetting, but then proceeded to charge her for the crème brûlée. Had we known it wasn't complimentary, she would have chosen a different dessert instead of the one he suggested. Aside from the beautiful atmosphere, there wasn't much that stood out positively. Unfortunately, based on this experience, I cannot recommend this restaurant and would not return. read more

Kirkwood - American Near Me - Houston, Texas

New spot in Houston! I would say the vibes are definitely great and upscale. Definitely would come back for drinks. Make a reservation for sure since the new place. This is a very Instagram where the environment and I would say it's mostly adult friendly. There's a back bar as well that has a fire pit and great vibes for you to sit at quietly. The food was OK. I would say it wasn't the most flavorful. I got the chicken under a brick and it was very salty. The lychee martinis if you ask for it are to die for We came on a Friday night, so there was valet service and free parking in the garage. I would come back for the vibe and the drinks since it's right by my house. Separate bathrooms, read more

We went to dinner to celebrate the birthdays of two of our friends. It's only been open since April so not a big menu! Very relaxing atmosphere! The short rib ragu was yummy and pasta was al dente. The ravioli was tasty! Now the Berry Hibiscus Fizz needs more fizz to really bring the drink together! My favorite thing was the dessert the Creme brulee was smooth and very nice mouth feel! The service was good and we enjoyed the birthday desserts for our friends! I would come back! I also like there was parking in the garage!!! read more

Kirkwood - Truffle Parmesan Ravioli - American Near Me - Houston, Texas

The restaurant is inside the Energy Tower. There is ample parking in the garage and valet service is an available as well. The hostess is welcoming as well as the ambiance of the restaurant once you open the copper doors. I like the corner living room section upon walking into the main dining hall. I can foresee plenty of happy hour chats with an old fashion in hand. I look forward to my next dining experience. Fantastic service with Raphael. Ideal portion sized food and tasty drinks. read more

This place is a welcome addition to the west side of town, especially for us quality starved Katy residents. As soon as you valet, you're greeted by a pair of gigantic doors (that you won't have to open yourself) and a friendly host stand. Once seated, the bar menu has great variety and we decided to try everything we could that sounded summery. The spritz, both margaritas, and the martini were all major hits, cheers to the bartenders for that. Food-wise, we started with the cacio frittatinis or whatever they call those. Basically a twist on arancini with a vodka dipping sauce, both of which were delightful. We also had the tuna app which was fresh and delicious. My wife and I split the ravioli and the arugula and apple salad. Highly recommend both, each were prepped with high quality, complimentary ingredients and seemed well thought out. Service was also stellar, drinks and food were fetched with haste and the table stayed pre-bussed the entire evening. Overall would absolutely recommend coming here. Or don't, more tables for me. Oh and they have matchbooks! Love that trend. read more

Recent visit to Kirkwood turn out to be a great new restaurant by Mac Haik Enterprises on the ground floor of one of his office buildings. The Sesame Ahi Tuna was seared perfectly and was the outstanding dish of the evening. Little Gem Caesar was a nice twist on an old classic and the second best dish. French Dip was "good" but not as good as the old Houston's or Lorenzo's. The Steak Frites was a nice piece of flap steak cooked medium rare which was tender and had a great flavor. Definitely a spot to put on your dining out list, it's going onto our "go list" for sure. read more

This is supposed to be to be a 5 star steakhouse. It is a steakhouse, but more like 3 star. Service was lackluster, food was under seasoned and the steaks were supposed to be medium and medium well and arrived closer to rare and well done. For the price I would expect better. read more

The service there is impeccable, and the food was great! Such a great addition to this part of town. read more

Food was excellent and service was superb. Beautiful restaurant! We will definitely return!

I attended this restaurant twice in one week first for lunch and then for dinner. I definitely would recommend lunch as there were several great lunch options. My friends and I both had a salad and it was delicious. However, our experience at dinner with two other couples left a lot to be desired. The food was good. The steak could be seasoned a little bit more, but overall the steaks and a pork chop were both enjoyed by our party of six. Service was an entirely unenjoyable experience. Our waiter tried to upsell us at every opportunity which everyone noticed and was a huge turnoff. He even scoffed at my wine selection suggesting a much more expensive one. Speaking of, cocktails were great but our wine was ordered well before the food arrived and we got it halfway through our meal. They definitely need more bartenders or a sommeliers. I will go back for lunch but likely not for dinner with so many great steakhouses in town. The space is beautiful but a little loud. Best wishes! read more

The place is very well appointed and staffed. It has a high-end appearance and prices to match. Because of the shape of the dining area, the result is an excessively noisy venue. The muzac was louder than it needed to be. In the large dining area on the east side of facility, the noise level was such that normal conversation is difficult. We came away with the feeling we had just dined in a large lunchroom, not an upscale restaurant. I think the "fix" is to have more booths screened from one another and or fewer tables not crammed tightly together. One couple was seated at a tiny table for two less than two feet from a group of four. I am sure that experience was sub-par. Softer lighting and maybe some sound dampeners on the walls might help the ambience. The food was very good and presented well - as were the drinks. Although, I think the drinks were far too expensive ($19 for an old-fashioned - this is Houston, not NYC). The fried oyster appetizer was a very small portion in part because the oysters were tiny. Valet parking of course takes up all the close parking necessitating garage parking which, in inclement weather would be unpleasant as it is about a 50-yard walk in open air from the garage to the entrance. I would probably not go here again simply because of the detractors noted. Houston has other venues in the price range that offer a more intimate dining experience at or below the price point of Kirkwood - at which casual conversation with one another at the same table is not a shouting match. read more

From the moment valet opens your door, being greeted by the hosts, entire dining experience is exemplary. This is a warm, sophisticated and beautiful restaurant this area needed. My companion and I had a fun cocktail, the ahi tuna salad that was so delicious! Our entree was the filet mignon that was enough for 2 people and cooked to perfection. Our server Tiffany was a good guide and source in making recommendations for our lunch. She was assisted by food runners and others that made sure all our needs were being met without being annoying. Will definitely be back in the near future! read more

Service was phenomenal! Food was excellent! I especially like the Chicken under a brick and the Brussels sprouts are mouth watering. The restaurant itself is beautiful and very well done. A must check out! read more

This place is not good at all, service was terrible, food has no seasoning or flavor whatsoever, and prices are not worth it. The only thing we liked was the ambiance, but the restaurant is way too small and you can't even get through the dining room without bumping into people and the servers being in your way. Don't waste your money here. Very disappointed. read more

Food was ok.. everything just tasted so bland. Ambiance was nice, but there was barely any people inside the restaurant. Service was good, but food took forever to come out. read more
