Reviews note that while service is generally commendable, there are instances of slower response times and less engaging wait staff.

This place has it all. From service to greetings. Ambience is phenomenal and the food is exquisite!!!. 1st time here and I gotta say I will be back. So much to choose from. Steak lovers this is the place to try. Their prime new york strip was so perfectly cooked that it was so tender, seasoned and delectable. Wife's plate was also good chicken Florentine which was also phenomenal. Drinks were on point and very enjoyable. If you've passed by this spot and wondered, give this establishment a chance and you will be amazed at what customer service is all about and quality of food. I was and will definitely be back to post more on that cowboy cut steak.

Love this place! Nice grill marks on the steaks. Loaded baked potatoes. Just get the sour cream on the side. Lots of it. Loved the baked coursin cheese. Bar gets a little loud and waiters were slammed. A little slow in the service

First time visiting, after living in San Antonio for 6 years. Organized a private dining event for 14 people. Their staff did a great job. We had a private room, but the overall restaurant was nicer than I initially thought. We had a fixed dining menu in which our party raved over the sirloin steak and mashed potatoes. I personally, am on a plant based diet and was pleasantly surprised with their accommodations. They had a separate menu with gluten free, vegetarian, and vegan options. I had the cauliflower steak. It was delicious and I plan to visit again just for this dish!

We went for a date night. There were some hits and some misses. Overall, we enjoyed our visit. I would probably go again. Food: Filet mignon - hit - probably the best one that I have ever had. Lobster tail - miss - The sauce overpowered the flavor. Too salty. Lamb chops - hit - my husband loved them. I'm not a big fan of any lamb chops, but the sauce was great Lobster bisque - hit - I loved it. My only complaint is that it's not on the regular menu, so it probably won't be there when I go back. Sea bass - miss - my husband sd it was bland and the lobster risotto was mushy and flavorful Mexican martini - great Service - ok, the waiter could have been nicer. We tried to make small talk but he wasn't too interested. Never smiled. Overall, I would go back and get the Filet mignon and lobster bisque on a regular basis if it was available.

My wife and I came to celebrate our 15 year anniversary. The experience from the moment we walked through the door was top notch. The hostess greeted us like we were regulars. Our server Justin was just as awesome. Very knowledgeable and took his time to explain to us their drink, steak, compound butter options, and their specials for the day. He was also spot on in giving us our privacy like he wasn’t there. But knew exactly when to check in on us to top of our drinks etc. This was our first time going there just on the service alone, we will be going back. The drinks, appetizers, and steaks were cooked to perfection! Definitely worth stopping by.

We were in San Antonio for an event at the convention center. Kirby’s was great! We were on a schedule & it was Valentine’s weekend- and my husband has dietary restrictions (gfdf). They got us a table in the bar and we had excellent service & an excellent meal. The steaks were perfect! Every member of the bar staff checked on us even though things were busy. Melissa was especially helpful.

Dining here is a delightful experience. The risotto, creamy and rich, burst with flavors of Parmesan and a delicate hint of truffle. The wedge salad, crisp and refreshing, perfectly balanced tangy blue cheese and smoky bacon. The pepper steak, tender and succulent, was expertly seasoned, providing a smoky cognac flavored creamy finish. The classy atmosphere, complete with elegant decor and soft lighting, enhanced the culinary journey. Adding to the sophistication was the table-side service of Pellegrino, elevating the overall dining experience to a luxurious level. Every detail contributed to a memorable and exquisite meal.

We visit this place a few times a year. Main reason for going is for their amazing traditional escargot. We dined in last night with reservations at 7 pm. Apparently by 7 they were already out of the traditional escargot and talked us into trying the lobster cargot. Honestly, I don't write reviews when I am unsatisfied but I wanted to tell people, don't waste your $29 on this appetizer, it is basically lobster bisque soup poured into an escargot plate!
