We booked our reservation early since we’re heading to the Pelicans game after. The food was delicious. Our fave dishes were the hamachi crispy rice and the wagyu strip loin. Definitely returning here when we visit New Orleans again.

Our first time here and we loved this place. We always stay nearby when visiting New Orleans and I’m happy to have Kira in the neighborhood. The inside of the restaurant was stunning. Friendly server. Felt very international. We had the Wagyu tomahawk, toro and caviar and whole lobster. Soooo good. Also, highly recommend the pistachio espresso martini.

Food and drinks were a hit or a miss. I loved the bang bang shrimp, mezze board, and wagyu. The ambiance was stunning

The food was incredible — truly like a party in my mouth! Sabrina, our waitress, was attentive, knowledgeable, and completely on point. The atmosphere transports you to another place entirely, making you forget you’re even in the city. The music was perfectly curated and added to the overall ambiance. An amazing experience all around — I would absolutely recommend this place!

Tonight we had the opportunity to visit the place, and the atmosphere was lovely and welcoming. The food was delicious overall. There was just one cocktail that felt a bit lacking in flavor (the Wildcat, if I’m remembering the name correctly), something the bar could easily improve from a mixology standpoint in my personal opinion.

Sabrina took great care of us and provided excellent service. She was extremely kind, attentive, and very knowledgeable about the menu. Her personality truly added to the experience.

We’ll definitely be back!

I wasn’t sure what to expect from Kira beyond a brief post I saw on social media, but my experience was above and beyond why imagination prepared me for. On walking in, the first thing I noticed was the low, svelte lighting. The dining area is midsized, with intimate seating and ample space between tables, making it a perfect space for a date night, celebration, or high-quality client dinner. The decor and interior of the space is filled with curves and abstract art, emphasizing the relaxed, almost sensual feel of the restaurant.

I sat at the bar and was served by two attentive, knowledgeable bartenders. Jen and Mariah gave excellent recommendations to try the Lump Crab Caesar which I ordered with no bacon (pictured) and the Lollipop Lamb Chops. The salad was fresh and well-balanced with croutons, Caesar dressing, and grated Parmesan cheese, but the star of the show was easily the lamb chops- so good I didn’t get a photo. This dish was exquisite from start to finish. They were 3 large lamb chops served with picked vegetables, two smooth Mediterranean spreads, and a gorgeous, glistening chimichurri atop each chop. It’s been awhile since moaned my way through a meal, and this one did it to me. Jen also made a spectacular Pink Lights cocktail, which had the most fragrant yet gentle essence of rose water in each sip. I’m not a huge red meat eater, but I could build these lamb chops into my diet.
The meat was flavorful, beautifully cooked to a light-medium, and had a generous crust beneath the herbaceous chimichurri sauce. Tender, juicy, and most importantly for me, not overcooked or gamey. From the atmosphere to the service to the food and drink, this visit was a 10/10 and worth every nickel. Kira will certainly be seeing Kaari again.

Beautiful atmosphere, good vibes, food, and friendly staff. Only complaints are the women’s bathroom was horrendous by the end of the night – only one out of the four stalls was clean enough to be used. Appetizers were ordered in advance, but basically came out at the same time as one of the entrees, even then, we were still missing a main course and sides for about 5-10 minutes. Overall, you can tell they’re still working out some kinks, but as a new spot in the city, it’s worth a try.

The food is amazing…. the service is sub-par at best. If it weren’t for the food being so good this review would be far different. The lobster, while pricy, is worth it; the steak was cooked perfectly; the edamame was a little too sweet but still bright and fun; and, appreicate the creative mock tail menu.

An Absolute must visit it might be new on the scene, but the flavors and atmosphere make it feel like they’ve been around forever. Drinks atmosphere cuisine they have it all the owner and all of the staff is nothing but perfection. If it’s not on your list or must visit, then you need to add it and bump it up to the top
