⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I visited Kirbie with a group of 10 colleagues, and we were all thoroughly impressed. The staff were friendly, attentive, and provided excellent service throughout the evening. We had the set menu due to our group size, and every single dish was absolutely delicious — everyone agreed! We also had two pescatarians at the table, and they were catered for with ease. The whole experience was fantastic, and we’ll all definitely be back!

Exceptional, all round! Unpretentious, stylish, fantastic food, and lovely service all night- very attentive. We tried most dishes as they offered to just bring out multiple dishes to try lots and it was all absolutely delicious. Steak, pasta, best fries we’ve ever had (they were literally perfect), surprising delight was the pan fried cos lettuce. Even the desserts were excellent and were not dessert people. 5 stars and for any occasion.
