For our friend's 40th birthday, we booked a table for five on a Saturday night at Kirby Club, helmed by the team behind D.C.'s Compass Rose, Maydan, and Medina. Here's our experience.
1) Food: To feed five, we went family with a variety of dips, salads, and two orders of the Kebab Shindig. Everything tasted good, but the winner was the steak and all the dips, especially the grilled red pepper dip. (It's a tad sweet with the pomegranate.) We left full and even took home leftovers!
2) Drinks: Their menu pulls flavors from the Middle East like the Camillia Kirby, apricot tea-infused negroni that serves two, Sauvignon Blanc from Lebanon, and the Wanderer of Wanda (like a mango margarita). Every drink was refreshing!
3) Service: It's impeccable from start to end. Our server was attentive and gave us the best walk through of the food we ordered once it arrived at our table.
4) Space: The design is beautiful with inviting lighting, booth seating, a giraffe mural, and more.
5) Area: It's located in the Mosaic District in Fairfax. It's a bit a drive from D.C., but there's plenty to do once there. With several large parking garages, the area has restaurants, shopping, a brewery, a movie theater, and outdoor events.
