The food was horrible. I waste $80 on food we didn’t finished. The wings were on steroids and the waffles were thin and disgusting. Order a smoothie but had to send it back because it was unsatisfactory. The shrimp and grits was the only that could be eaten. Came down from Maryland and was so disappointed.

This was a restaurant I had on my list of places to try and I did so on yesterday for brunch. I was looking to find a new BOB and hoped I had a more positive experience here than the others. This spot had what unfortunately most other black owned businesses lack: Great customer service‼️ The hostess who answered the phone was pleasant, the hostess who greeted me was pleasant and our waitress was sweet & attentive. So I already knew I'd return to Upper Kirby Bistro even if the food was just ok, because I'll take great customer service and subpar food OVER horrible customer service & great food anyday. As far as the ambiance, the restaurant is kind of broken up into sections: main dining area, outside patio & a few other connected rooms. The main room we sat in was small, so the tables are close to each other. Several people kept bumping into my chair when walking between the tables. The lighting is ok and the noise level is a little loud once the dj started playing in that room. Food was good; I think the presentation of my entrée could hv been better. Because it was my first time here...I played it safe & ordered the oxtail empanadas for a starter and the catfish & grits for my entrée. I ordered "fried" catfish, so didn't like that it was served on top of the grits because that took away from the crispness of the fish. The two tomatoes & the garnish on top that was indicated as a slaw, I could have done without. But even still the dish was tasty. If I ordered it again, knowing how it's served, I'd make adjustments. My friend ordered the breakfast tacos & enjoyed them. I'll definitely give it another shot in the future and try something different. Kudos to nailing GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE! That alone will keep this place around for years to come.

Our waitress and the receptionists were very helpful and answered all our questions. Our reservation was for 1:00pm on a Sunday before the Sunday funday rush. We ordered fish and grits with oxtail gravy, side of wings, waffles, bacon and grits. The wings were crispy but under seasoned with a slight smell and the grits were on the watery side. Still recommend and will be back to try other menu items! 7/10

Place has lots of potential, nice ambiance and music. My waitress was very cold, did not really come check on us. Food and drinks took a very long time to come out. The food is also very salty.
