My wife and I went to Kirby club for their Valentine’s Day special. First thing that stood out was the preparedness of the staff to seat us right away. Secondly, the restaurant’s interior looks so much better in person. I loved the atmosphere. We did the 3-course dinner special with wine pairings. Every part of the meal was delicious and the bartenders were very busy, yet very attentive to us. And I can’t forget to mention the rest of the staff, all contributing to a wonderful experience. Thank you for making our Valentine’s Day a special one!

Awesome, Awesome experience. I saw a review of this lounge on Instagram and I am super happy that I decided to check it out. The staff was super nice and helpful. This was first experience with hookah so I had no idea what I should order. However, my waitress explained everything with great patience. There was a young man who came around to refresh the hookah so I didn't have to worry about that. The food was delicious. I honestly can't wait to go back!
