Overall I liked KISS. The atmosphere was a taaad overstimulating for me. There were bottle girls, a man dancing from time to time in an iron man mask for people's birthdays, very very dim lighting and a random white light flashing at unpredictable times. So I can't really say if I understand what kiss' vibe is? Maybe a mix of club (but no dancing) and restaurant? But the music playing was pretty good so I didn't complain about that. The service was pretty fast once our server got to our table. I ordered the Wagyu steak and the mashed potatoes. The steak was good it was better with the sauce it came with, and the potatoes were ok I honestly mean nothing to write home about, especially for the price. I didn't care for the fact that most of not all the entrees didn't even come with a side and most of the sides were like 10$, on top of the entree price. But overall I liked it for what it was. Will I be back? Probably when I'm not in grad school and can spend the money every once in a while lol read more

Came to celebrate a friends birthday and we all love a good brunch! The menu looked fantastic, which is why we can it a try. Overall the experience was mediocre. I had the chicken and waffles, the flavor of the chicken was good but the waffle was blah. The strawberry/peach mocktail was yummy though. A friend got the salmon, which looked great. Tried the oxtail empanada and those were delicious. Service itself was a little slow, and it was not busy at the time we were there. The place itself was cute with good picture opportunities. read more

The service is a two out of five our server was nice but she took a long time to do everything we had a reservation for 730 we immediately got seated waited a little bit then she came to the table got us our drinks we ordered a little bit after that we had to wait at least 45 minutes before our food came and then when it came, my mom's food was cold everyone else's food was warm, but it didn't feel like They were back there cooking it like it just came out of the grill or out of the oven it's almost like it's only two microwaves back there and everybody is standing in line waiting to heat up their tables food we immediately let the server know, and another woman that was very nice. Came out and tried to give us more options to fix my moms cold meal she was very disappointed and chose something else. The woman gave us other options, but if they were to cook it, it'd be another 15 minutes, which doesn't make any sense because all the food that's coming out doesn't even seem like it just was cooked fresh but anyway we all finished eating and we were still waiting for our server. They really were no check ups on the table. at times, we wouldn't even see her walking around. She would just kind of disappear. My mom had originally ordered a three course meal that came with a dessert And we ordered another one for somebody else at our table . She said that she put the dessert in. We were waiting another 15+ minutes for the dessert to come out and we were already very irritated by then. We asked her when the dessert was ready She was like I don't know. I'm waiting for it to come out. I just put it in. Which was very annoying because go check on your food. Make sure it gets to your tables we finally got it, but we only got one and by then We just said don't worry about it . Then we asked for the checks it seemed that there was miscommunication on what was to be charged and not be charged because they messed up on my mom's we are supposed to get all of hers for free but we got to check it was all on there we got it fixed slowly When we finally left, it was 10 o'clock !!!! Tired, unsatisfied unfeeling mid tasting food with bad service, but at least the DJ was good PS I wouldn't mind trying again if they improve on the food and the service also i understand the servers have other tables to attend too but the way it was handled was no consideration for time read more

Thank you Kiss for allowing us to host our friend's going away dinner this past weekend! First, making the reservation for a large party was easy! Mr James called to schedule and answered all my questions. Day of event the staff was very friendly and had everything set and ready for all guests to be seated on time. Our waiter, Jordan was such a great waiter. He was patient and kind. Best part was the food which was great. Everyone enjoyed what they ordered. Sometimes having big dinners in Houston can be scary (iykyk) so I mean it when I say thank you all for a great experience read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

Kiss - Dumplings - New American Near Me - Houston, Texas

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. read more

Kiss - New American Near Me - Houston, Texas

We went for a GNO and we enjoyed ourselves from the entertainment and our own company but the food was average at best. I can only attest to the lobster Ravioli, and the word from the ladies that their food wasn't nothing to write home to moms about. The lobster Ravioli was all cheese and very small amount of lobster. It tasted like a processed frozen meal. It's a cute space inside, and the dancers were a good additive for entertainment. It was slightly loud but I think that this is meant to be a loud restaurant...."vibe dining." The location that they had in Dallas was also loud like here, so I think it's part of their theme. Would I come here again? Probably for happy hour at the bar only. And that's a big maybe. My glass of Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc (at least they had a goodie) came warm. I had to have them chill another glass so I could have cold vino. The second order of Kimmy came the same way....sigh.........I wouldn't come back just to dine simply because the food was subpar. This is definitely a space for a GNO our date night. It doesn't appear inviting for a solo jaunt. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Overall...terrible. The atmosphere and the DJ was a nice touch but the food had way too much salt, the steak didn't taste like real meat, the mashed potatoes were hard as a rock and the gravy was full of big pieces of pepper. The food was way over priced. 5 spicy shrimp for $25 and they weren't even jumbo. No drink on the menu was under $25 and the waiter was so slow. We won't be going back. Not worth the hype. read more

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. read more

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. read more

We always enjoy our time here. We had a blast. I personally love the mimosas and the selection of juices to choose from. The ambiance is always a vibe. I believe they had a live saxophonist playing along with the latest R&B. Service is always a 10/10. We were trying out appetizers to see if they would fit into our wedding food selection, although we ABSOLUTELY love the food here, we went with Caribbean style food. All in all, it's never a dull moment here. read more

I was excited to try KISS and it did not disappoint! I, along with a friend, arrived at around 1:30 for Sunday brunch. We did have a reservation, but surprisingly, it wasn't that packed. There was still plenty of seating. They did have a DJ and guitarist and the music was great! It was loud but not to the point where you'd couldn't hold a conversation. I enjoyed it! We started off the with the carafe mimosa (pineapple juice) they were delicious ! Definitely had enough inside for about 5/person for a table of 2. We ordered our food and I kid you not, it was brought out in about 10-15 min easily closer to 10. I was little concerned. Nonetheless, I ordered the Gulf Coast omelette. It was pretty tasty and I would recommend. My only gripe is that it had bits of braised short rib inside from a different order. Don't get me wrong it was tasty, however, if someone was allergic or were vegetarian this would definitely be a problem. Nonetheless, I'll definitely be back and had a great experience read more

We've been to Kiss a few times and today we came for Mother's Day. The parking is free if you can find a spot but today we did valet parking for $20. We had a reservation so we were seated immediately. DJ Wreck was on the turntable and it was a vibe as usual. We started out with a carafe of mimosas and the Crab Beignets. It took about 30 minutes for the beignets to come out. I would rate them a 2 out of 5 because it tasted like they were fried in old burnt grease. We both had the oxtails, grits, and collard greens. The oxtails were way smaller today than they normally are. We also waited an hour for the entrees because the kitchen was behind. By the time our food came we were pretty much done with our carafe of mimosas. I think we'll stick to come on regular days and not a holiday in the future. read more

I meeeeaaaannnnnnnn, maybe its me. I could be the problem. I just have an issue with places like this. You walk in and they ask do you have reservations. I do but the place was kind of empty so that wasn't needed. They have a DJ, T.V's, bottle girls, waitresses with 2 piece sets on but its dimly lit like its romantic. I'm speaking loudly so my friend can hear me. The menu prices are on the more expensive side but I feel like I'm in a club. The dress code for men are strictly enforced they say but the women can come in looking like they are ready for a intimate night at home with their significant other. I am so confused. I tried the HRW menu. I had the lobster balls which were ok. The surf and turf which I asked for medium rare and it came well. The turf was shrimp which was good. The strawberry cheesecake had cake and cheesecake and was dry. My friend and I both got one drink. Once they added all the taxes and automatic gratituty it came out to 189.00.. Our waitresses was nice so I didn't mind tipping her because I was going to do it anyway but I have been to several places where the service was trash. These type of places are not my cup of tea. They call some a elevated lounge. I call it a club with seating and better food. Overall, I will tell you to try it for yourself but I'm good and will not return. read more

First time experience at KISS. This place has been on my bookmark for years. Ambiance is great the moment you walk in. Now the conversation I had with the server started great, then it was contradicting. I visit here for a friend's birthday. Which in conversation the minimum is $600. (Reserved Party of 8). But it physically was a party of 4. Birthday girl sign paper for it. She's cool with that, so great deal. I order an entree for to go, just prepare it prior to me leaving, however you can enter the meal selection now. Cassie return to the table announcing that the ticket has been closed when I asked her to confirm if she place my chicken ya ya order. She told me no and that she had to call the guy who left the table to ask him if he can add it. Or it will have to be a separate ticket. Full disclosure: First off the guy who was at the table was not authorized to apply anything to the card on file. Nor was he the person who signed the agreement for the party of 8 whom is the same individual who's responsible for the remaining of the balance. With her closing the ticket which was at UNDER $300 that's left us responsible for additional $300 to satisfy the $600 invoice. Cassie we had a full conversation about the minimum that's required regardless of the size of the party or small of orders. So you were fully aware that we were going to order meals for take out. Instead this clown took it upon herself to close out a tab on HER TIME. 2 hours before the kitchen close and charge us $600 for a $300 tab Cassie also made it seem as if she was doing us a favor by adding the to go order on as a comp. Which was the $34 ya ya that in place BEFORE Cassie closed our tab. Yet she missed all the other entrees, sides, and drinks. The invoice shows the time AFTER the adjustment she made. Saying she had to confirm with a stranger who was not even part of the party nor a staff member, neither was his card on file. Cassie let it be known that payment of $600 was going to be collected regardless of the size of orders. She put our to go orders in that we are charged for. They definitely need to make this right. Because it seems as if Cassie left herself a $380 tip. Cassie definitely couldn't explain where tf the money went to after she close out a tab that NO ONE ASK HER TO DO. VIEW ATTACHED BILL Total was $319 of food received. And the total paid was $769.50. Never will I EVER attend Kiss to be robbed at. read more

Kiss is always such a vibe. They didn't disappoint this time when my friend popped into town. We split the short rib grilled cheese and shrimp and grits. The grits were thick and could have been resolved with a tad more sauce, but the shrimp were cooked to perfection. The grilled cheese was also tasty and filling. Our server was attentive and that's all you can really ask for these days. read more

Came here for dinner on a Saturday night. Parking wasn't an issue, as there were plenty of spaces. However, the wait was a bit too long for having a reservation. Once we finally got seated, I was definitely in tune with the upscale vibe dining experience. I loved the music and the ambiance. Thankfully, my meal matched the vibes as well. I had the cajun chicken pasta and it was put together really well. I wouldn't mind coming back, but perhaps for brunch or a non-peak time to escape the wait. read more

There are a couple things I don't like that I will share right away. The two hour time limit for meals is a huge turn off especially if you have a decent sized group. Our waiter spoke in such a low tone we had no idea what he was saying most of the time. There's a stuffed chicken dish that is just okay. The chicken itself is not seasoned. The cream sauce is supposed to carry it. It doesn't in my opinion. The oxtails are fatty. More fat than meat. Flavor is there but quality of cut is not. Pros: there's a pork dish that is delicious. Spinach dip is delicious. The strawberry lemonade cake is delicious. The 8 ball martini is delicious. There is a band that came to perform live. They are very entertaining and friendly. read more

Food was pretty good. Subpar service. Server was sweet, probably not her fault. We didn't receive any silverware with our food. Waited for it then food was cold. Then when we did , it was plasticwear, like To Go food. We were dining in. We received no additional napkins other than what was in the plasticwear packets. We ordered Steak and lamb, it was delicious, but yet again delivered with plastic utensils including a plastic knife. We had to request a steak knife. The music so loud I never got to hear our servers name. Just overall expected a better dining experience for what is advertised as an elevated restaurant. read more

Came to Houston with my girls and we came here for dinner. We made reservations as there were 9 of us. We were seated promptly. Our server was awesome and quick. Our second round of drinks was a little slow coming out, but I could see our server checking on them at the bar. We ordered the Spinach dip (with bread and chips $1 up charge). It was pretty good. We crushed it. I had the Smoked Old Fashion . It was super cute and good. I ordered the Filet mignon as my main course, cooked medium. It was good except for the "sauce" that was on the side. It was actually so bad I didn't eat anything that touched it. Filet mignon cooked properly needs no flair. The 4/5 stars is due to the sauce and how dark the ambiance was. It definitely was giving a date night vibe and we actually joked the whole time that it was dark so you couldn't actually see the food. If I lived there, I would definitely go back for a cute date. read more
