I've heard of KISS many years ago but this was my first time visiting. My friend reserved the "speakeasy" private room and it did NOT disappoint!!! First shoutout goes to our A-MAZING waitress Mikaylah!! She did not miss a beat! Friendly, attentive, knowledgeable and all the things! Thank you Mikaylah for giving us the VIP treatment! Will was another waiter who also stepped in to assist us, his energy is so contagious! Thank you! All the staff were so helpful and service was exceptional! Next shoutout goes to whoever thought of this "speakeasy" idea and the spectacular decor. The details that went into it were definitely well thought out and strategically designed. KISS THE CHEF!!!...I don't know who was in the kitchen but EVERYTHING I tasted was magnificent. Fall off the bone oxtails, creamy with a slight crunch mac n cheese, mama's Saturday grits, and "grandma put her foot in it" greens.... Lol! .....I am not over exaggerating. Everything was 10/10!
$75 just to hold up a sign saying happy birthday and dessert?????? Stop scrolling and pick another restaurant. This restaurant is way too expensive for the service and food. Dined here for my friend’s birthday and probably would have had a better time at Chili’s. And yes you read that correctly… we were charged $75 for a happy birthday sign that we couldn’t even keep. They didn’t even sing happy birthday. Just stood around like bottle girls and dropped off dessert which should have been free since it was her birthday. They had a live band which was nice but it was very loud. We could hardly talk to each other or our waitress. The waitress also provided the VERY BARE MINIMUM if that but our checks were charged 20% gratuity. We had to beg for straws and utensils. She took our order and never came back until after the food had arrived for 5 minutes. She refilled our waters after the checked was paid. Definitely felt like we were robbed with the added gratuity. The food is definitely overpriced. $20 for 6 wings and we aren’t talking whole wings.. $49 for 4 lamb chops with no sides is crazy. They also were suppose to come medium well and we could barely cut through them with a knife. The salad was $14 and adding any protein was $15+. The salad was very basic and lacked personality. My friend ordered the fried chicken and you can tell they just dipped the chicken in flour without seasoning it. Very very bland. Save your money and dine somewhere else with much better food and service. Never had an issue with spending money on food but this wasn’t it.
Me and my cousin are here visiting Houston for the 1st time! We came to Kiss Houston! This place is amazing!! The food was delicious, the drinks were fantastic, and the music was excellent!! The most beautiful establishment I’ve been to so far!! Our waitress was Cindy! She was friendly, courteous and professional! We are from New York, but Cindy made us feel like we belonged here! She was very attentive to our every need!! The absolute best! I implore everyone that visits Houston, come to Kiss! It’s a Vibe for sure!😁😁
Great time with girls. We did lamb and other meals and lemon drop... Now we out of town and Im south african and we know my lamb chops- this place chef is on point. Man I ate them all up bones and all... lemon drop martini was good.. we had a blast
We chose Kiss Houston for a friend’s birthday dinner, and overall it was a nice experience. The atmosphere was beautiful definitely a standout feature of the restaurant. It was lively, though I did find the music to be a little too loud for my preference. That said, the DJ kept the energy up and played a great selection all night. For dinner, I ordered the pan-seared salmon along with a cocktail (I can’t recall the name, but it was excellent). The salmon was flavorful, though I personally would’ve preferred it cooked a bit longer. Still, it was enjoyable. Would I return? Yes, I’d come back but next time I’d love to try their brunch. 😊
