    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!

    Came here for New Year's eve. I've been here before and wasn't that impressed then so I was hoping for better... It's honestly always a red flag when they have a time limit for dining... it's speaks to the focus of the restaurant which is not customer service. The 2nd red flag is automatic added gratuity. 20% at that... This restaurant offers both. When we entered the restaurant and they had new years picturesque settings for pics. They were playing the music really loud. It took them a while to seat us too. They were offering a New Year's menu and still had the regular menu available as well. I ordered frombthe New year's menu. It was 3 courses I ordered the crab salad royale as my 1st course. It was the best thing of the 3 courses. My second course was fried catfish and crawfish etoufee. It was too damn salty. Like they put a gallon of salt in the dish and made it almost inedible. My 3rd course was the chocolate cake. It was petrified, dry and just not good. It tasted old. My friends ordered the oxtail and they seemed to like it along with the deviled eggs. They found the banana pudding to be mid as well. They provided champagne and streamers for the NY countdown. Overall um yeah no. I don't actually need to come back here. Bad food, mid service too loud music...plus time limits no.

    Stopped by for a few drinks and snacks before a night out! Food was great! Service was fast and friendly, they were dressed up for Halloween which was so fun to see! This is an adult location, lol dim lights, great drinks and bites on their menu for happy hour! Check them out if you're in Houston and want a cool place to catch up with your friends!

    Very nice and great decor here at Kiss. Great and kind service. Our server was so nice and helpful with our order. It was served within a great time and taste so delicious. I got oxtail, collared greens and grits and it was all just the way I like my food. Tender and flavored oxtail, perfect texture of grits. My friend got waffle and chicken and my other friend got fried fish and grits, it was all so good they ate it all. At first I was a bit disappointed with receipt it had food taxes, taxes and gratuity. It was only 3 of us so I didn't expect the gratuity to be added and not sure why there were multiple taxes added. However I got over it due to our amazing server. As we were taking pictures and leaving I told him thanks for nice service for my friend birthday he immediately said he didn't know it was her birthday and he happily said stay here sit back at the table. We did and he so amazingly brought her some dessert while he was dancing, that was so exciting. We greatly appreciated him and gave him more tips. I would like to go back again but I wish those multiple taxes and gratuity was not included.

    I've always enjoyed KISS because the food is usually really good and the drinks never disappoint. Last night I went with a girlfriend for some drinks, and everything was going well until I stepped outside to my car and came back in. I had a quick question for one of the hostesses, and the experience completely shifted. One hostess, who was very sweet and professional, was great. But another hostess was extremely rude and disrespectful. I tried to ask her a simple question, and instead of acknowledging me, she kept walking, looked me up and down, and made me feel completely dismissed. It ruined the vibe of the evening and left such a bad impression that I didn't even want to interact with her again when I came back inside. She was short, had pigtails at the front of her hair and wore glasses. She was also on her phone when we originally walked in and didn't even greet us (cameras can prove this) The bar service was great, the drinks were on point, and the food (as always) was good, but service at the front door matters just as much. Unfortunately, because of that one interaction, I can't recommend KISS and am leaving a one-star review.

    Please read entirely. I tried Kiss with my church family in December 2025. It was so good. Service, music, ambience amazing. Oxtails and grits were delicious! I had to go back for my birthday January 2026. Again dinner was amazing but my birthday was ruined completely because someone busted out our window. The restaurant had no video footage or regards for us what so ever and they're parking attendants OUTSIDE!! Experience shattered, be careful

    Love the decor and vibes here. Ive been here twice and I must say both times has been amazing. It's really hard to find a nice brunch spot that has amazing customer service. The food and drinks are on point. So not only does the vibe give life but the food hits the soul. I ordered the crab beignets and the soul platter. Everything was top notch, fresh, fast, seasoned and well thought out. This place is a must visit for any event.

    I love the vibes here! Good food great music. They have someone come around to take photos of your table & you have the option to purchase your favorites. Cost about $25 but includes the frame. I love the martinis and flavors offered. Lamb chops are always a go. I definitely enjoy coming here on Thursday for ladies night.

    Cajun Chicken Pasta
    Sherelle L.

    Came here with a large party (18 folks) , so we were given a pre fixe menu. Food : was mid. Normal aesthetically pleasing place. I had the NY strip that was supposed to be cooked medium, but was so close to well done. I didn't have them take it back because it isn't a steakhouse so I don't have high expectations. The people who had the past really enjoyed it! Service: SLOWWWW, but friendly. But SLOWWWW. Since we were a large party it was shared appetizers (Family style) , Pick 1 out of 3 main courses, and cheesecake served on a platter . So why did everything take 3 + hours I am not sure. We even did one ticket, so yeah not sure. Environment: Dress code strictly enforced. The place claims to be "vibe dining" so basically loud DJ music and club lighting LOL.

    Dumplings

    We came to Kiss to enjoy their cinema date night. They had $55 per couple, 3 course meal and they were playing Halloween movies all night long. We did make a reservation but it wasn't really necessary. We came on a Tuesday and it was empty though not necessarily a good or bad thing for a weekday. The ambiance was a dark, sexy lounge vibes with Halloween decoration to match the theme. Our waitress was super sweet, she check on us, poured our drinks and let us know the other specials the throughout the week. The food was decent. The dumplings were definitely the star of the meal. The regular menu items are a bit pricey but it's definitely a vibe for a date night, girls night or birthday dinner.

    Southern Fried Chicken. Mac & Cheese, Greens and Corn Bread.

    It's always a good time to have dinner with your girls. We went to Kiss for dinner. We were seated pretty quickly but it did take a bit to start our orders. The restaurant was really dark in certain parts of the lounge area so it was a little hard to see. I started off with the espresso martini. It was definitely a little sweet for my liking but it was definitely heavy on the tequila just like I like it. I started off with the crab beignets. They came out pretty quick and they were good but they were lukewarm and I wished they were fresh. For my entree I ordered the fried chicken that came with two sides: Mac and cheese and greens with a side of corn bread. The portion was definitely big enough to be shared with someone. The chicken was good. Fried and seasoned to perfection! The Mac and cheese was just as good as well as the greens. The cornbread was ok I wised it was a tad bit sweeter. Overall a good experience and I would be back.

    I feel like this is a perfect vibe brunch with minimal stress and good food. I've heard that years ago it used to be super packed but now it isn't so much like that but I feel like that's a good thing because anytime you wanna come for brunch you can always get a table. It also has a nice ambience. They play a lot of R&B music and they also as I included in my video have live music as well. There is a man that plays the electric guitar over the music that is being played and it sounds really good and definitely adds to the vibe. The food also is tasty as well. I enjoyed my meal and I got the mimosas as well. I always enjoy myself when I come here and I definitely recommend it to anybody in Houston. Our server by the way was also really sweet and helpful as well.

    Her face is all you need to know about her attitude. I hate the job for her. Giving menus and pointing people to a seat must be challenging.

    Ask the Community - Kiss

    Whats the price range?

    $$$

    Is valet available during brunch?

    Yes

    Does this restaurant serve mac & cheese on the dinner menu? Their website doesn't list any of the sides they have.

    Mac and cheese does come with specific dishes like the Grilled Pork Chops. Most times you can swap out or add sides for an additional charge.

    Is it ok to bring a child to Sunday Brunch?

    Yes, it's still a restaurant!

    Is Kiss restaurant 21 and over only?

    Not that I know of. Mostly adults are there. But I have seen some children.

    Is it kid friendly?

    It's kid friendly likely earlier in the evening. The later it get it's not.

    Do they play music the whole time? If so, it it really loud? Like can you still have conversations at the table?

    The music is loud but we came during dinner and sat outside so we were able to have conversation, brunch may be different.

    Is there a dress code?

    It says it on the site but when we went it definitely wasn't.

    We have reservations for the patio. It was the only option. Will we get the same experience on the patio or should we change it?

    I did sit inside when I went, but I was envious of the people on the patio. The restaurant has nice views just given it's location. If you generally enjoy outdoor seating, keep it!

    Is the music too loud for conversation (from 6p-9p)? Can you bring babies/toddlers during that time?

    The music is loud. I wouldn't bring a toddler.

The dining room is chic and feels very upscale but comfortable with a large open fire kitchen that was really fun to watch while dining. They were very on top of service with both our dining captain and waiter checking on us throughout the evening. For appetizers we ordered the deviled crabs, tuna tostada and wood roasted carrots. All were great but I especially loved the carrots which were cooked and seasoned perfectly. For my main course I had the chicken and dumplings, husband got the NY strip, our friends shared the whole fish and we had the cabbage and crab rice as sides. Everyone was very happy with both their main courses and the side dishes.

We were greeted by three different people - one that took our drink order, one that cleared our plates, and one that took our order. All were very nice people and gave excellent service! I forgot their names unfortunately. My receipt said Zachary but not sure which waiter that was. Between me and hubs, we had a Pan de campo, an order of Gulf Oysters "casino", (4) dressed oysters, a 16 oz dry aged ribeye, a snapper entree and a side of crab fried rice. We finished almost everything except a quarter of the Pan, about a quarter of the rice, and about a third of the ribeye. All were great dishes and would definitely order again. We skipped dessert because honestly none stood out to us. He said their popular dessert is the souffle but they were sold out. Our total before gratuity was about $250 and that included one cocktail. Hubs had their "classic" old fashioned which he said was excellent! Overall, highly recommended if you don't mind the splurge or for a special occasion!

We had a wonderful waiter and gave us a lot of recommendation. But the treatment kind of fell off towards the end when he was held up by a huge party for a good while to the point where we changed our mind about desserts and after dinner drinks and had to go. The cocktail "come and take it" was balance and flavorful. The crab samosa is a hit. It is crammed with crab stuffing. It is amazing and you get two different kind of dipping sauce with it, Tartar and butter. This was the first that any restaurant has ever done for us, but they actually split our soup in half for us so what's pictured is the half the soup. The duck pad Thai was amazing!!! I wish I had that instead. I had the Caribbean braised oxtail. I wasn't a big fan. I felt like I was tasting more of the sauce and carbs. I asked for the mango and spices on the side. The mango was a nice plate cleanser in between bites. The ambience was really nice , definitely upscale compared to their Travis's Carr location and something that you should dress up for. This is good for a nice formal celebration dinner or date dates. Or fancy Bestie night. There is complementary valet at the front. They have a sign that says do not park across the street.

The sauce that they put it on pairs so well with it and really makes the dish. Must try even if you think you don't like leeks. - Venison tartare: my husband loves tartare and mustard so he loved this dish. I despise mustard and am lukewarm on tartare. The mustard taste was so strong. I hated this dish but I'm also not a good critic for it, so no rating from me. - Pappardelle: 7/10 Simple and classic.

Ricotta? Brown butter? Yup amazing! Creamy, delicate, but not just a big mush that makes me want to gag. - Lamb ribs: 9/10 Nicely smoked, all around good balanced flavor - Wagyu bavette: 10/10 So good! Tender and juicy. But at this point in the meal, I'm usually pretty stuffed and the portion size is pretty decent. I would enjoy it even more if we didn't always order so many other small plates haha - Mushrooms: 9/10 Mushroom haters, please try this! You may change your mind!

Doesn't feel uppity. - One time, we got free dessert. We were the last party in there so they probably just wanted to get rid of it. The cookie was so good!

He ended up being one of the best aspects of our experience that evening. Our waitress wasn't nearly as good. We started by asking for ice in the water from the waitress since they just give you room temp water. After 10 mins of seeing her serve other tables and ignoring our request, we then figured the water boy would make it happen...and sure enough he did. We then ordered the grilled oysters, which are very lightly cooked, almost seemingly steamed more than anything, but they were very good regardless of the cooking method with the sauces and garnishes and pickle juice added. Next up was ordering the entrees. The menu here is a little strange with numerous vegan choices with strange titles and only a few items with protein. To top it off, there are not many choices period. The waitress explained that the left side is basically the apps, and the right side is basically the entrees. I knew I wanted to try the wagyu flat iron steak which is priced pretty high here, compared to other wagyu flat irons I've had at other restaurants across the US. We couldn't really decide on a 2nd main dish then the waitress mentioned the off the menu special which was a scallop pasta so we picked that thinking it sounded delicious. The entrees come out about 15 mins later, and we take our first bites and we both thought, oh no, if we share the other person across from me isn't going to like this dish because it's too salty. I tried the steak first and noticed the sauce being extra salty, then I tried the pasta and the pasta was way worse, but the scallops didn't seem to be affected. We immediately told the waitress the next time she stopped by....and she just said okay, and walked away. I figured she would go get the manager....but nope...she just kept on serving other tables. At this point we thought to ourselves only the oyster app was decent.....and no reason to look at the dessert menu since we had already spent over $100 on food we could hardly eat. Sure enough, the waitress stops by a 2nd time and asks if we'd like to see the dessert menu. I couldn't leave fast enough and told her we'll skip. Needless to say we both left hungry as the portions were not only not edible, but also fairly small. The water boy also stopped by and offered to turn on the heater if we get cold. Boy, I wish he was our waiter instead. For a supposedly Michelin-starred restaurant, I feel they really got this one wrong.

Our party's arrival ran late, and they were still able to accommodate us. This was greatly appreciated. However I thought the music was a little too loud, because I could not hear my party across the table. We finally determined we were sitting right under a speaker. Prior to this a manager did ask if we were comfortable at our table, due to my mobility issues. If mobility impaired it's best to sit on the main level, especially if the restroom is needed. Otherwise, there are about 4-5 steps, to go through the kitchen. The kitchen is a huge process!!! I was impressed!Service was pretty good. They were knowledgeable, and got our orders correct. At times I felt our questions were answered a bit snippy, but it didn't persist. My party did feel a bit rushed by staff asking to pick up plates in the middle of our meal. This was a bit disruptive, because I would move plates to the edge if I want them removed. The food was really good. The cons for me is the 1% cutlery charge to help tip the kitchen staff, in addition to the 20% regular tip. They apparently do this to not raise menu prices. It's not a make or break thing, I've never seen it before nor was I made aware of it. It might be on the menu somewhere...idk. Additionally, valet parking is available for a fee. Most restaurants offer a birthday dessert, but this one did not. I would return to enjoy a few menu items like the queso, G & G Salad, and the oysters! These were really good. So for me, it really depends on what one wants to experience.

    Absolutely loved this place! A friend recommended it to me, and I went in with no expectations but…read moreit completely exceeded them. The restaurant itself is beautiful, especially during brunch with all the natural lighting coming through the indoor space. Such a lovely atmosphere with plants surrounding us. The food was amazing, and sharing appetizers was the perfect way to try a few different things. They also have a huge wine selection, which I really enjoyed. I tried their pizza paired with wine, and honestly, it was the perfect combination. The service was also excellent, everyone was welcoming, attentive, and made the experience even better without feeling rushed. They even asked if we wanted to help to get our picture taken, that was so sweet of them.

I arrived about an hour before closing, expecting it to be quiet, but at 9:00 p.m. it was still bustling with energy, laughter, and that soft glow that makes everything feel a little more special. I ordered the pork chop and swapped the carrots for broccolini. The pork chop had a beautiful char and was full of flavor--slightly undercooked, yes, but still delicious enough to carry the whole meal. I do wish they had mashed potatoes on the menu, though... it would have made it perfect. We also shared the Brussels sprouts, and sadly, they missed the mark this time. Dry and bitter, nothing like the saucy, flavorful version I've had before--maybe just the late hour catching up with the kitchen. But even so, that pork chop... it lingered in the best way. And sometimes, that's all you need.

You can tell the staff really cares about each other. I got the fried chicken piccata and pimento cheese fritters and one of the whiskey cocktails. And I mean to tell you I CLEANED MY PLATE. there was nothing left. Everything was so fresh and seasoned and delicious. A few weeks later I came on a Saturday night with friends and the service was a bit slower and table options were limited. We were still comfortable and just had a to wait a long time. We got our appetizers before our drinks. The crab toast wasn't my fave but I liked the pimento cheese fritters again. My friend and I both got the shrimp and grits dish and once again cleaned our plates. My other friend got the chicken picatta and loved it as well. I got a chicken to go.

There's two homes converted into a restaurant with plenty of outdoor seating as well. It was a beautiful, sunny day so we decided to sit under the shade outside. For drinks we ordered sangria and pineapple mimosas. The blueberry ginger pancakes seemed like a hit based on reviews so I ordered that as my entree. The portion size was huge so it was very filling. The ginger was not overwhelming at all and really complemented the sweetness of the blueberry toppings. I also ordered a the pork belly deviled eggs which were pretty yummy as well. My fiancé ordered the gumbo which was very savory and filled with the perfect combo of shrimp, chicken and andouille sausage. The service was good as well. Our waiter checked on us several times throughout our meal. Very solid brunch spot in the heights!
