I really wanted to enjoy my experience at KISS, especially since I chose to celebrate my birthday here, but unfortunately I was pretty disappointed. We visited on a Tuesday during movie night, and the restaurant wasn’t very busy, maybe around 15 people total, with 8 being at my table. I understand it was movie night, but the movie was extremely loud. I really wish they would’ve turned it down a notch so we could actually enjoy conversation at the table. The drinks were definitely the highlight! I had the Get It Sexy and a Sidecar, and both were good. I originally wanted a strawberry lemon drop, but I was told they didn’t have something needed to make it. Unfortunately, the food was a completely different story. I ordered the jerk lamb chops and turkey mixed greens. The lamb chops were very dry(not medium well), and the greens were extremely salty. For a $49 entrée, I definitely expected better quality. Our server was very nice, but the service was extremely slow considering it wasn’t a busy night. By the time she came back around, we were basically ready to pay, so I didn’t even bother complaining about the food. I’m not sure if there’s a new chef or if this was simply an off night, but overall I was highly disappointed. It was my birthday, and I really wish the food and overall experience had been better. The drinks were good and our server was pleasant, but the food and slow service really brought the experience down.

Second time attempting this establishment. First time at this location. The restaurant was beautifully decorated, and the ambiance was really cute. The music was on point, creating a fun vibe, and the service was good. I tried the lamb chops, they were delicious. The dipping sauce was absolutely 🔥 and really made the dish. The drowning dumplings were decent, and the crispy Thai shrimp was good as well. The menu described them as "prawns," but I would say they were more like large shrimp. For drinks, I had a Blue Lemon Drop (not sure what flavor variation it was) and the "Me, Myself, and I." Both cocktails were really good. The only downside was the lack of flexibility with the menu. They don't allow substitutions for sides, so I ended up ordering appetizers instead of an entrée. They also don't allow split checks, which can be inconvenient when dining with a group. Overall, the food, drinks, atmosphere, and music made for a better experience than before. Despite a couple of policy issues, I'd definitely consider coming back.

I loved my experience here at Kiss for Mother’s Day. If your waiter is a guy named Jordan, trust me when I say you are in great hands. He recommended the Lavender French 75 and it was so delicious I had two. My fiancé ordered a frozen peach Bellini, which was very beautiful, but I did not try because I don’t like peach. The catfish and grits I had were delicious. I also tried the oxtail and grits and would highly recommend. There was a salmon dish as well that was tasty. I can definitely see myself coming back. Heads up there is a dress code however, they did not seem to be too strict about it from what I saw.

Mid day Saturday visit (reservation; which I think would be needed) which met expectations. Started to sit at regular table but found out happy hour was only at bar which was a really good experience and service. Many thanks to Brandy on giving amazing bar service and recommendations for drinks and food which really supported the automatic gratuity. The happy hour portion of food was somewhat small (3 seasoned Thai chili shrimp and crab beignets for $11 each) BUT I was told up front so appreciate communication. Had seafood pasta and partner had fried chicken platter which I would recommend both not only for flavor but portion size! Cornbread and collard greens for sure need to be ordered. Magic 8 Ball and Thank Me Later were good drinks for a strong or sweet taste. Music and “vibe” was good, not too loud or crazy which I appreciate when dining. A small bottle from bar accident happened as meal was wrapping up and all staff were very apologetic and making sure we were good. I hope table service is as good as bar service because I would like to come back and have similar experience.

I came here for a birthday celebration and honestly… I won’t be back. The food was pretty underwhelming for the price. I ordered the salmon bites and they were drowning in aioli—it tasted like straight mayo and completely overpowered the dish. The greens were actually good and well-seasoned, so I’ll give them that. The drinks didn’t impress either. I had the Kiss 125 cocktail, which was $25, and it was just… okay. Definitely not worth that price point. Now let’s talk about the service—because that’s where things really went left. When we walked in, the smell of weed smoke hit us immediately. Not exactly the vibe I was expecting. The service itself felt unorganized and careless. When our food came out, the staff didn’t even know who ordered what—they were asking us at the table. Same thing with the bill. They took everyone’s cards and then came back and just stacked them on the table for us to figure out. That’s unacceptable. On top of that, there’s an automatic 20% gratuity, which is fine in theory—but the service definitely didn’t match that. Overall, it feels like you’re paying for hype, not quality. For those prices, I know I can get much better food, drinks, and service elsewhere. Just not my kind of place.
