PostScript Shuts Its Doors in Upper Kirby

Known for its Barbie-like aesthetics, the Upper Kirby-based restaurant made a quiet exit with no social media announcements. Rumors about PostScript’s closure were confirmed when it canceled the recent Mother’s Day reservations. Additionally, the restaurant space at the Shops at Arrive mixed-use development has been vacated.
However, the upscale pink restaurant is still listed as open on OpenTable and Google, and has not posted about the closure on the official PostScript website. Representatives at the Upper Kirby food establishment have not shared an official closing date either.
Why did Houston’s Pink-Aesthetic Restaurant Close?
Although PostScript has not released an official statement, industry insiders have speculated on various reasons for its closure. Some believe that the pink-themed New American restaurant has been a victim of the current financial turmoil.
Others believe PostScript struggled to compete against the bustling food outlets in the same location. Some thriving restaurants at its Upper Kirby venue are a hand-roll eatery, Kira, and an Indian food establishment, Pondicheri.
There are also assumptions that the restaurant could not gain momentum after Hurricane Beryl.
A Short Journey of One Year

Amid much fanfare, the pink-themed restaurant opened its doors in February 2024 at 2800 Kirby Dr Suite A-132, Houston, TX 77098, United States. An invention by Dallas-based GAP Concepts, this food place was brought to Houston by Veeral Rathod and Obi Ibeto.
Drawing inspiration from XOXO Dining Room, another food establishment designed and conceptualized by the Dallas-based hospitality brand, PostScript embraced a ‘pink’ concept. A pink quartz bar, a grand piano, and interior and exterior walls were major attractions at the food facility.
Its champagne push buttons further added to the charm of the establishment and became a favorite with the ladies of Houston. The crowd made its way there for brunch featuring French toast and pink drinks, which helped them create Instagram-worthy moments.

When PostScript made its Houston entry, Bryan Caswell was the consulting chef who curated its menu. Highlights include fried chicken with hummus, double-smoked pork chop, sushi rolls, oysters, eggs Benedict, etc. However, Caswell soon departed to pursue other culinary ventures.
While PostScript may have closed its doors, its splashy pink debut will be remembered as an interesting chapter in Houston’s dining scene. In just a year, the North American food spot left a strong impression with its pink aesthetics, appealing ambience, and droolworthy menu.
