  Really hit or miss with the service (especially in the summer). Pizza is consistently good, all the rest of the food is also hit or miss, usually on the bland side. Great location with the rooftop patio.

  As a local, we go to Kirby quite a bit. (This review only for Kirby portion...not K2 upstairs, or Grill Room next door...or Dark Room downstairs.)
  Overall, it tends to be hit or miss. Sometimes 5 star, sometimes 3 or 2( or less?) on bad nights. Good place to go if you have eaters who can't agree on what type of food to eat. The menu is very diverse. To ensure the best experience, stick to 'safe' menu options in what I would call "average fare". These would be things like Nachos (5 stars for nachos!), Burgers, Soup and Salad..maybe a stir-fry.
  Also, the busier it is in town, you'll see the star rating drop. Sometimes the staff seems very overwhelmed, especially in early summer season when the tourism rush starts to kick in and they try to find their groove. You may also find the kitchen running out of menu options around the same time.
  I see a lot of reviews here talking about menus upstairs and downstairs but be forewarned that you cannot cross menus!!! But, oh how I wish they would. Even with simple options like a salad from upstairs, don't bother to ask...you can't get it downstairs. Pizza downstairs? Not a chance. They are very much separate restaurants and servers will not commute your food from one to the other...unless you do the winter pizza buffet when they serve pizza and pasta downstairs. (Hey Kirby: do this all the time! Its great! And open up your menus! Get a few runners to hike the stairs...downstairs people like pizza too! )

  Ahi tuna appetizer very bland. Clearly frozen.
  
  "Medium-rare" steak cooked all the way through.
  
  Weak Moscow mule that basically tasted like Ginger beer.
  
  At least they didn't make me pay for it.
  
  My beer was tasty.
