Stopped by George's Bistro for Houston Restaurant Weeks (HRW), and had a lovely little meal…read more I had been to this spot only once before (not during HRW). The HRW menu doesn't go too off-menu, which is nice for those who want to try a few things and know they can return to get that same dish. This particular HWR was a three course menu with choices for each. You could add on anything like wine, cocktails, etc as well (we had both) The service was good. We didn't have an overly chatty server, in fact I don't even remember interactions with the server, but I remember the food came out quickly, hot, and everything was correct (for a 4-top of varying three course meals) The meals were delicious. We all order a variety of things and were able to share The ambiance is cozy, modern, and still elegant. I will say it was August so it's hot outside in Texas, Georges has a beautiful but gigantic pizza oven in the back center of the visible kitchen. We were all warmer than we wanted to be, and were definitely sweating by the end of the meal. There's a covered patio with seating for the cooler days/nights. There is quite a bit of parking, but it's shared strip mall style parking Some tips: If you want a nightcap after dinner you can mosey (literally walk) next door to Marquis II. It's an almost five far feel with darts, billiards, and a fully stocked bar Don't forget to look at the HRW website in August to find menus categorized by cuisine style to see what fun and delicious meals you might want to enjoy. Remember, it's for a good cause and it's a great way to try local eats Cheers!!

Tried it for the first time after driving by for years, and glad I finally did!…read more Very casual place with very attentive service and good variety of offerings. Got there at 11:00am and place was empty, but within 30 minutes it was packed. Table enjoyed brunch items - honey biscuit chicken sandwich, fish tacos (only on Fridays), and Texas egg scramble. The sandwich was loaded and and it least 5 inches high. The chicken was light and crispy and moist, and the biscuit was homemade too. The fish tacos were huge and tasty, as was the egg scramble. Will I go back? For sure!

I ordered the Honey Buttermilk Fried Chicken sandwich with gravy on the side and no cheese. The runny egg, crispy chicken, crispy hash browns, nestled in a giant flaky, buttery biscuit. Yum Delicious and satisfying. I would come back for brunch.

Went to On The Kirb to redeem a birthday coupon…read more Ordered a wrap and a burger. The birthday guest ordered a Caprese Burger. The beef burger was topped with fresh mozzarella, fresh basil and sliced tomatoes with basil pesto and fig balsamic glaze. He loved it. Added tallow fries which were also good but seemed like regular fries. I had a Shawarma Wrap. The shawarma-seasoned chicken breast wrap came with romaine, tomatoes, pickles, and garlic toum in a spinach tortilla. It was served with hummus and tortilla chips. So yummy. Our server surprised us with a Jumbo Chocolate Chip Cookie. Loved the warm skillet pan chocolate chip cookie that was freshly baked. Topped with vanilla bean ice cream, chocolate drizzle and powdered sugar, it was the perfect way to end a nice birthday dinner. Service was great. Made a reservation, but they were not busy. Plenty of parking. Interesting to watch sports like baseball, women's league lacrosse finals, and Donk Toss on the big screen TVs. Is throwing an Inflatable Donkey really a sport??

It can be a challenge to hear your dining companions and have a conversation. The food is alright, all organic according to their signage, and the vegetables were fresh. But the dishes themselves are just okay, unordinary and lacking in creativity. My avocado toast for instance came with toasted white bread. While On The Kirb was very generous with the avocado, they didn't think it necessary to upgrade the bread, which I thought was odd and slightly disappointing. I ate it, but it's a very forgettable experience. My husband's fish tacos were fresh but equally unremarkable, and the giant pretzel was humongous, but not really tasty. The sides of brussel sprouts and potatoes both were well cooked but lacked seasoning, including salt. The cheesecake my colleague ordered was also just okay, sweeter than expected, and not necessarily in a good way. This is a place where guys can bring their girls to watch the game. The menu is accommodating of organic, vegetarian, pescetarian and gluten-free diets. But it's not really a place for foodies. If you seek an experience, On The Kirb promises a mostly forgettable one.

The pizza is really good and you can see them make it if you sit at the chef's counter.

I was surprised that they actually have food here and it's not just generic pub food but like really good Curries. I was there on a Wednesday and they have a special on Curries and a pint so I took advantage of it and even though prices aren't cheap (really, it's not just them), I was surprised at how large the portion was and it was enough for my lunch the next day too. Overall, our service was great and the place is pretty classy though more fitting for a slightly older crowd which is fine considering I'm the "older crowd" now.

Not as extensive a beer selection but I settled on a Harp to join the fish and chips (french fries) with peas and half a lemon and a flavorful tartar sauce - malt vinegar was served with the meal. The Beer showed up and the food was right behind it. If I was a business man sitting at the bar watching the ball game and they were I would be impressed. It had a moderate crowd with the bar filling up quickly. The fish was a good portion cooked properly as was the fries and peas. It was a relaxing atmosphere and very enjoyable.

We browsed the pastries and noted the scones looked particularly dry. We opted for a cinnamon roll with nuts as it looked delectable, but it was sadly very disappointing. It was dry and lacked the sweet flavour we expected. My friend got the breakfast tacos and said they were okay. I got the omelette, and you can choose up to four ingredients. They gave a very long list of options, so it was hard to choose just four. I ended up getting the omelette with chicken, pepper jack, avocado, and portobello mushrooms. I was very disappointed that the avocado was just two small pieces laid on top of the omelette. The omelette really lacked substance with its minimal filling. It still tasted good though. I liked the fruit bowl, especially the strawberries. The breakfast potatoes were tasty.

I've been a huge Backstreet fan for over 30 years and have never had a dish that wasn't…read moreoutstanding, until last night and I had an entree that I thought was mediocre at best. One of my food passions is Cioppino, whenever and wherever it's on the menu I order. I've had Cioppino at 15+ restaurants in San Francisco (the birthplace of Cioppino) and the Bay Area since the mid 80's, and many in other cities across the US. Last night I had the Cioppino at Backstreet, and it was "OK", but no something I'd order again. The broth was very thin and didn't have the robust tomato flavor given by San Marzano tomatoes, and I didn't get much Fennel or Saffron flavor. The white fish was in small "chunks" (check out the photo and compare it to the shrimp) rather than a nice large piece and didn't have the flakiness normal found. The shrimp were cut into smaller pieces, rather than cooked whole in the broth. Mussels and Claims were nestled under the other sea food as well a couple of small Scallops. Most disappointing was It was missing the star ingredient of classic Cioppino, CRAB, as well as calamari! I still give Backstreet 5 stars as this was an anomaly as EVERYTHING else I had at Backstreet over the years has been stellar.
