The portions were on the larger side. Our party ordered the Salmon and the Chicken kabobs. When I ordered broccolini, someone from the kitchen came out to tell me directly that they ran out and offered to make me a different side dish. The service was outstanding, although it was hard to distinguish who was our server as multiple staff would attend to our table. We had a pleasant experience and it was a nice lowkey vibe on a Tuesday night. The food was delicious. I only drank wine so I can’t speak to the cocktails but they had a variety of drinks on menu.

I had high hopes for Kiki on the River, but my recent experience was nothing short of a disaster. I made a reservation for a party of five through OpenTable to celebrate my wife's birthday, only to be told upon arrival that they had no record of our reservation. Despite showing them the confirmation, the staff was unhelpful and dismissive. To make matters worse, the manager mentioned that my wife's footwear did not meet their dress code because she was wearing flats. This was not only inappropriate but also discriminatory, as my wife requires flats due to a disability. The lack of understanding and accommodation was shocking. What was supposed to be a joyous celebration turned into a frustrating ordeal. The staff's inability to manage reservations and their insensitivity to our situation left a sour taste. I expected much more from a restaurant of this caliber. I would caution anyone considering Kiki on the River to be aware of their poor customer service and lack of inclusivity. We will not be returning.

Kiki is a great spot. I’ve gone many times and have an amazing time. Last night I went as part of a bachelorette party and the entire time we were rushed. The restaurant made too many reservations and were trying to filter people out as fast as possible. You were only allowed to order all your food at once and couldn’t space courses out or add additional food if needed. We ordered a second round a drinks which never came and then the waiter was aggravated when we asked if we could have our second round. The food came out at fast food speed. I’ve never seen anything like it. The second a plate was finished it was removed and the waiters hovered over us trying to speed us up. We came to celebrate our bride to be and we were so disappointed. It’s a shame because it’s a great spot on the water with great music, but don’t come here if you want to be rushed very rudely by all staff and managers. We were only a party of 6 I will add. We were not a very large party and our entire experience was soured from start to finish. Do better Kiki. This is not how you treat customers who pay TOP DOLLAR at your establishment only to be rushed the entire time and pushed out before we were even done with our second round of drinks that we had to remind our server to bring. Shame shame shame.

Took 1.5 hours to get our table. Got a drink at the bar while we waited and the bartender added an additional tip to my bill without my consent. The bills have automatic gratuity high is totally fine but I didn’t give anything ontop of that. Signed the bill and got my CC statement…she added 10% tip. I will be investigating this further.

Customer service was not great we got there at 430 and ordered our food at 520 and did not receive our food till 604. The table next to us got their food within 30 minutes. Also was my bday dinner and they didn’t say happy bday or sing me happy bday. Has very high expectations and they did not succeed what I thought it would. I don’t know if it was because we were freshly 21 and still young or what it was. Also they tried to give us a 300 dollar bill that was someone else’s and almost got away with it.
Kiki on the RiverResponded on May 21, 2025
Dear Guest, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We're truly sorry to hear that your visit didn’t reflect the celebration and service you deserved, especially for such a special occasion like your birthday. We deeply regret the delay in receiving your food, the oversight in recognizing your celebration, and the confusion with the bill. None of these experiences reflect the level of hospitality we aim to provide at Kiki on the River. We would appreciate the opportunity to make this right. Please feel free to reach out to us directly, so we can personally apologize and see how we might turn this experience around. Wishing you a happy belated birthday and hoping to regain your trust. Warm regards, Kiki on the River

Corrupt establishment!! I booked this reservation over a month ago and I chose this restaurant to celeberate my 21 birthday with my best friends. I waited an hour and the staff was incredibly dismissive and disrespectful. From the bouncers to the front desk to the people working at the bar. The place was past capacity and honestly a safety hazard with staff pushing past you and screaming on your face to move even there is no where to go. The wait was so long that my friends and I had to leave. They kept on repeating that they would seat us in 5 minutes and that the table was closing out but they were giving up our table to other parties and never planned to seat us. I would NEVER recommend anyone to go here. I’m honestly grateful they were so rude so I didn’t have to spend my money here. I also went up to the bar to order a plain margarita while I waited an hour and they charged me 38 dollars knowing to use the most expensive tequila to take my money. I have NEVER heard of a 38 dollar margarita even at the most expensive restaurants I’ve been too (in reference a margarita at Carbone is 22 dollars). This place is absurd and a scam. I saw them seating many groups of white people but when it came to black girls my friends and other groups were left waiting outside. Honestly I feel like I should be compensated for even spending money on an Uber to this place.
