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

The ambiance here should be featured in a magazine! . Each time that I have visited this establishment it takes my breath away.. The food is remarkable and the service is attentive and efficient. The prices are expensive but once you take your first bite you can taste that it quality and fresh ingredients are used. The vibe is chill, and upscale and the music is always good. May be a bit difficult to have a intimate conversation due to the music being loud, but you can always go outside on the patio . I surely will be back! THank you KISS for being a great BOB. read more

What a fun brunch spot! Why? Because you get either a live music that walks the floor occasionally or a live DJ. And boy, you will be jamming! I thoroughly enjoy it every time I come here. The food is great! Salmon is always a good one. This place is jumpin' so the service can be a little slow because of the amount of ppl each server is waiting on. I would definitely say try it out if you're in Houston! read more

The vibe is great! The food is good. I have been here a few times now and I love the ambiance, music, and overall feeling you get from this dining experience. The food is always good. They do a spectacular job on the meat/mains Always well seasoned and quality. Most sides I've had here are pretty good and overall complimentary to the meal. The drinks are the star of this show. Some of the best cocktails around! Additional thing to note, they do not do complimentary desserts for birthdays or special occasions so be prepaid to calculate that in your cost if you're coming to celebrate. read more

Came on a Saturday evening for a date night. Our reservation was for 6:30 pm, so early enough to beat large crowds and before the DJ came out. I ordered the restaurant week menu $55 per person for app, entree and dessert. I selected the oxtail empanada, chicken yaya pasta dish and the cheesecake. I was quite shocked that the empanada was only 1 empanada.. I hope this is just for HRW and not $18 for one single empanada. The chicken cajun pasta was okay.. Felt it couldve used a bit more cajun spice and cheese. I was disappointed all three 3 dessert options were a form of cheesecake..I dont like cheesecake so I ordered it to go to gift it. My partner ordered the southern fried chicken. Enough food came out to serve 2, so be mindful. The cornbread was dense but moist. Wouldnt order the cornbread again/alone. Vibes are nice and ambiance is well! read more

We were visiting Houston and my friend heard about this place and so we planned on going our last night there. The ambience was perfect for a night out, low soft lights, a bar area along with high and low tables. They had a live band, they were really good. The waitress was very friendly and made recommendations that we enjoyed. I'll just say I'm sure there are those that come here for the food, both dishes that we ordered was good, but not a place I'd recommend for food! The cocktails on the other hand 5 out of 5 stars!! Every cocktail we ordered was DELICIOUS!! Every drink was made with fresh ingredients and fresh fruit. This is a great hang out spot! read more

Kiss hits all the marks: memorable food, atmosphere and fun. We came in a party of 30 for a birthday brunch. We were seated very close to our reservation time. Execution of orders for a large party was excellent. Our waitresses were on point with suggestions, taking our orders and extremely personable. The DJ was on point, playing just the right music to get us up and running (1/2 of the party was hungover lol). The guitarist accompanying the DJ was great. The entire venue is cute/Instagrammable. Everyone enjoyed their food and drinks. We were allowed more than the 2hr limit, we didn't feel rushed at all. I definitely recommend! read more

I came here for brunch after the Beyonce concert. The vibe wasn't overly turnt, but it was still a very good time. People don't seem to come out until 1pm or later. I recommend it for brunch when you're in the area. GLOWS: -There is onsite parking, which was very good to have! -The service was excellent. We had a very friendly server! -The complimentary birthday dessert is a very nice touch. -The aesthetics were nice. Good photo ops too. -Indoor and outdoor seating. I sat inside because it was hot, but they had mist to attempt to cool things down. -The DJ and live guitarist added to the vibe. -The crab balls were actually not that bad.. considering I'm from MD. They aren't traditional in the slightest, but not bad. GROWS: -The food options were just okay. I didn't care for the avocado toast. read more

This was my first time dining at Kiss. Pulling up to the restaurant and walking the red carpet made you feel like a star .. LOL .. Entering the building the lights were dim and the music was rocking. Thursdays are for Lamb Chops $5 each and lemon drops also $5 .. It was only two of us and we ordered the following: Appetizer - crab beignets they were scrumptious. For dinner we both ordered three Lamp Chops a piece one w/ Collard greens and the other crawfish fried rice. The lamb chops, although flavorful had a kick to them and the dipping sauce had some sweet heat. Collard greens could have had some seasoning all together but they were tender. Crawfish fried rice was good, no complaints. We went during Happy Hour and before we left the vibe was turning into a party. The DJ was cranking up. I will be returning for date night, a girls night out or even on my self care day. My opinion, this is not a kid friendly restaurant. They do offer Hookah on the patio if interested. read more

Went for dinner on a Friday evening. The vibe & ambiance are nice. The music however, is much too loud. You have to shout to have a conversation with others at your table. The celebration of birthdays occurs frequently, so I hope you don't mind hearing In the Club by 50 multiple times. Our waitress was wonderful. She was extremely helpful with recommendations and was very attentive the entire time. Food and drinks were great. read more

Kiss - Jerk lamb chops - New American Near Me - Houston, Texas

There is a lot to unpack so I will break this review into Food/Ambiance and Service. This spot was suggested by some friends that came on New Year's Eve and was a bit disappointed because the drinks were nice but KISS ran out of certain foods that were advertised for their New Year's Eve Menu this was before 10pm so they wanted a do over. I took the challenge and decided to go with one other person instead of a big group. The black and gold color scheme with velvet drapery and overall layout of the establishment gave the vibe of an upscale dining experience and the multiple screens that showed the movies of the night provided options to enjoy without straining your neck around corners. The Pan Seared Salmon dressed in sauce on a bed of dirty rice and broccollini was prepared expeditiously and presented on a very warm plate. Now let's pivot to the SERVICE...after our waitress( Angel?) brought the customary glasses of water, my date asked what type of vodka was available for the particular drink she wanted. The waitress's demeanor changed after the inquiry so did the quality of service. The waitress eventually brought our drinks and our food was brought out by the server (efficient). While enjoying the movie, it took some time to find our waitress to order another drink, which I eventually did, but by this time we were almost finished with our meal. At this time I finish my drink when she brings another drink to the table and takes off before I can make an inquiry. Neither one of us ordered another drink so I finally was able to stop her to find out about the drink. She states "Oh, I thought you pointed for another drink to which my reply was, No, I did not" so she hurriedly took the drink away with a nonchalant attitude. At this point, my date informs me that our waitress was arguing with another waitress over whose drink it was before the GM had to silence them but not before their dispute was overheard. Lack of character and personality popped into my head. By this time our dinner is complete so we move the empty plates with utensils to the other side of the table and had the utensils set at the finish position to notify the server we were done with our meal. 10 minutes later our waitress eventually appears with our cheesecake and champagne, but it was not worth anymore of our time so we asked for a carryout container. Bill is presented to me and as I inspected the bill I noticed Food Tax, Mixed Bev Tax, Guest Changed Mind (drink), and a AUTOMATIC 20% gratuity for two people!!! I can understand automatic 5% gratuity for parties over six, but two people and the service was sub par. Where is the standard and incentive to provide exceptional customer service for an upscale establishment??? Before this fiasco I had a chance to talk to the GM and he informed me their establishment seats 308 people on the inside, 40 on the patio (Standing) and 120 (seated). I noticed the bartender was very good at handling incoming drink orders and sending them back out proficiently. I do have one question though, "If there is a Dress Code Policy, why do the waitresses have on thigh, high tennis skirts with low cut, skin tight V tops?" KISS has great potential, but two strikes already for me. Just my two cent review..Maybe your experience will be different. read more

I went to KISS on the last Sunday in 2024 and let me tell y'all, a time was had!!! At the recommendation of our server I ordered the BLUEPRINT and that drink was niiiiice! It's their version of the sidecar. Next she recommended some good appetizers and I had my eye on those boudin egg rolls so I was very excited they made her listt. The flavor was hitting and they had a lil kick at the end, just how I like my boudin! In fact, I enjoyed them so much that I ordered a 2nd round of em!!! I wish they served more than 2 cut in half or had an option on the menu that included 4 or more. It was crowded with the live band playing and our big party that included 3 different sets of tables but our sever took good care of us. The music was great... it was my first time hearing THE CITY and they did not disappoint, they made sure our birthday ladies had the best time! I didn't taste the fried chicken but when they brought it out to my friend, there was so much meat on the wooden cutting board and it included a huge chunk of cornbread, greens and mac & cheese. I also tried the Cajun Salmon Bang Bang Bites... they were hitting as well. The food and drinks were on point and I can't wait to go back and try more!!! read more

Soo I don't usually do loud, lounges/restaurants, but KISS was nice! Came with some friends for their R&B night. So glad I came! They had half off their appetizers and cocktails....doesn't get much better than that! DJ was on point with the R&B jams too. I ordered the crab beignets...definitely recommend! They're more so, three crab balls, but still very good. I was not that hungry, so it was the perfect portion for me. I also ordered the Magic 8 Ball Martini. I recommend it as well. Service was slow, but they were very busy and it's somewhat of a large restaurant. Our waiter was very nice and made sure we were taken care of. read more

Finally had a chance to try Kiss. Went for a friends birthday dinner. Upon first glance, I loved that there was an actual parking lot with plenty of parking. Did not love that their website states there's a business casual dress code enforced but saw several people very much so dressed down.. so it appears as though the dress code is not actually enforced. Our reservation was for 9 but we arrived a little early and were seated. Once seated, I loved the vibe of the restaurant and I also loved that they have a screen that plays music videos along with the music they're playing. I've never seen that before at any restaurant so that was a nice touch. Food: I had the crab beignets and the pan seared salmon. I asked them to sub the dirty rice for mashed potatoes. The beignets were delicious, I'd get them again. The salmon was just okay. Could have definitely used some seasoning, next time I'll try another entree. Service was pretty good overall and food was decent with room for improvement. Towards the end of dinner when we were paying our checks, I didn't care for the automatic 20% gratuity fee .. but I wouldn't mind going back to Kiss again one day. read more

Kiss welcomes you with a red carpet! So...that's a "Yes," and it sets the tone for the coolest vibe you'll get from a restaurant! We chose Kiss to host my daughter's fabulous bridal shower in a private room where the music, lights, and "Prince" portrait definitely flexed followed up with a menu to delight! Kiss was phenomenal in their wait staff as fresh fruit and canapés were brought out with drinks and everyone's food came out hot! We spared no expense and everyone ordered several drinks and their menu of choice! The cake was presented with sparklers, then quickly taken away and plated! Champagne was brought out ceremoniously for the toast! A round of shots was offered by the best man, and everyone had food to take home! Kiss is the perfect place for your bridal party! read more

This place is amazing, I absolutely loved the vibe here! The DJ was playing all the good hits (80's baby) and it was a pure vibe from the time I walked in until I left. It was a bit dark but from time to time the lighting changed. The food was amazing but the service, let's just acknowledge the fact the waitress felt it was professional to tell us the cook was annoyed we asked for our spinach dip to be warmed up. We politely told him/her, we are annoyed with as well for having cold spinach cheese dip sent to our table. Other than the comments made we had a really good time. read more

I was pleasantly surprised by Kiss. I assumed because it was an "instagram" hub that it would be crowded, the staff would be rude and the food would be terrible but none of this was true. We didn't have reservations but got seated as soon as we got in on a Sunday at 1pm. The patio was the only available space but it was a warm day so we didn't mind. There was so much free parking but they also have valet. There was a good amount of folks in there but it's spacious enough that you didn't have to feel packed like sardines. I got the bourbon drink and the salmon entree and both were really good. Again, pleasantly surprised by this experience. I will certainly go back to Kiss as the music was good, atmosphere was enjoyable and the crowd was fun and mature. read more

Visited Houston for 2 days and decided to make a reservation here based on a few instagram post. I'm sure glad I did because this place was truly a vibe. From the red carpet out front, to the ambiance of the restaurant; this place is truly a vision. The customer service was impecable, as everyone is super friendly. Being from up north makes me appreciate the southern hospitality whenever I visit. We ordered 3 appetizers, some drinks, and our main dishes. Below are my honest ratings for the items we ordered. I would have given a 5 star rating because the ambiance, drinks, and service was truly top tier. Not to mention, they have dancers posted around the restaurant to give it that lounge feel. However, not every item we tried off the menu was a 10/10, so I just couldnt. This place is definitely a must for any tourist coming to visit the city, as I am sure all the locals are already hip to this place. Apps: Buffalo Chicken Egg Rolls - 6/10 (no real buffalo flavor and the dipping sauce was not even buffalo) Crispy Tai Shrimp - 10/10 (omg a MUST try. Soooo darn good) Crab Beignets - 7/10 ( you can taste the crab but it honestly just tasted like little crab balls. Still more flavorful than the egg rolls) Entrees: Jerk Spiced Lamb Chops - 10/10 (A MUST! The lamb is sooo tender & PERFECTLY spiced. I was told its the most popular & I see why. The jerk sauce wasn't even needed because of how well the lamb was seasoned) *sides for lamb chop* - collard greens 8/10 (good enough to serve at thanksgiving dinner), mac & cheese 8/10 (it wasnt soulfood baked mac & cheese but it was actually really good) Seafood Pasta - 10/10 (my sisters shared theirs with me. It was amazing. It contained so many different types of seafood. The sauce was perfection) Drink: Cotton Candy Lemon Drop - 10/10 (if you read my reviews, then you know my go to drink is a lemon drop. When I say the cotton candy flavor was the perfect surprise pairing. A blast in a glass for sure) read more

Loud, overpriced, and mediocre food. Another restaurant leaning on "aesthetic" to stay afloat. I was displeased with everything I had there except the champagne. The pasta was bland and dull. Pot stickers were average. read more

Great ambience with the DJ and decor. The drinks are great and the service is good. While we were there a few birthday were happening and they were doing a great job entertaining the celebrants. The lower review stems from the underwhelming flavor of the food, it's not their specialty. We also ordered dessert, bread pudding. The ice cream barely melted and you could tell the pudding was not fresh and was previously frozen and then microwaved. For those prices, I would expect everything fresh. Still a good choice for an occasional girls night, date night or birthday party - but primarily for the vibes and aesthetics. read more

I went Friday, a few days after Valentine's Day to check out their new hidden speakeasy that's through their kitchen. It's really nice and it opens to the public in April or May. Every time I go to Kiss I have a better experience than I did the previous time. Kiss is 10 of 10 and I would recommend it to anyone. The parking is easy. They have valet and free parking. You want to make reservations, especially on the weekend. The food is next level good. There is a red carpet entry. They always have the best Dj's playing R&B all night. It certainly passes the vibe check. Follow me on TikTok @ReddWasThere for full review. read more

This was a last minute Saturday brunch option and I'm so glad to go! From the door, you can tell this is a step up from normal restaurants. The decor is dope and the live music made for such a fun ass experience. Next time I'm in Houston it's definitely on the hit list! Location: Kiss is located in a newer strip mall. It has plenty of parking and was easy to find. The restaurant has a beautiful view of the skyline so I'm sure at night it's even better. Service: the waitress was very attentive and helpful with her suggestions for brunch. The other serves were lit as well! They were dancing with us and you can absolutely tell they truly enjoy working there. Food: Yummm! Our party had the crab cakes (those were bangers!), short rib hash and the seafood omelette. All of it was good. Also we selected the wine flight and the lavender melon wine was my fav. Price: Everyone's tab averaged to about $50-$60 per person and we stayed for almost 2 hours so it was pretty good. read more

4.5!! Hello, my experience was pretty good. I went to help celebrate my friend's birthday. To ensure we got a good idea of the menu items, we decided to order several items from the appetizer list for the group. This was the best!! People ordered their drinks from our awesome server and only one tiny hiccup from the bar (was NOT our server's fault), but she resolved it quickly. I loved the atmosphere and food - the only issue was, this place felt like an after hours spot. (a fun one). Kinda not fully a restaurant & not fully a club or lounge either -- I don't know how to describe it, other than, head over there and check it out! They DEFINITELY have something for everyone read more

This was my first time in Houston and a friend recommended this place. I didn't have much free time since I was in a work trip but I was able to stop by for dinner. It was a Tuesday night and not very crowded. It's in a plaza with plenty of parking but Ubered there. The ambiance was very nice and the music was a good level. It was mainly R&B/HipHop. They had taco Tuesday food and drinks specials but I didn't order it this time. I sat at the bar and ordered their Dusse and Lavender drink which was made very well and tasted delicious. After ordering I discovered they had Sir Davis and had to try it out since I was in TX of course. It was smooth enough but still a whiskey lol I order the lamb chops with the Mac and cheese and greens. The lamb chops were seasoned well and the sides were pretty good too. I have no complaints. Definitely try it out if you have a chance. Good for date night, girls night and solo visits. read more

I've been to Kiss a couple of times. Location is great because there's an option for valet or free self park. The vibe is great. I love the decor, music and set up. I would recommend the NOLA stuffed chicken which is pretty tasty. It comes with mashed potatoes and asparagus. But during this visit, I got the Lobster Bisque which had two large pieces of lobster. It was pretty decent but I wished it came with two pieces of the garlic crostinis. It currently comes with one piece. We ordered the banana pudding with is basically Guzel cake pudding with some additional things. It was very good. But considering you can buy the cake pudding from the store for way less, it wasn't worth it in my opinion. But the presentation was cute! Also, I don't like the fact that the patio and bar are the only places available for walk ins. Inside seating is strictly reservations only. So if you don't make a reservation, prepare to either sit outside or at the bar. I don't understand the rationale behind that but I guess it works. read more

Kiss is one of my favorite spots in the city and I'm surprised I haven't reviewed it yet. I love coming here solo to sit at the bar and meet people while vibing to the music. The food is always good too. The last time I went tho, they had a saxophonist that was terrible. Like didn't know any of the songs and was just playing random BS ruining the good music playing. Also I'm glad they brought the jerk lamb chops back on the menu but the sides weren't as good as I remember last time. read more

Kiss - Cajun chicken pasta - New American Near Me - Houston, Texas

Pros: food, some strong drinks, good parking Cons: very, very loud, no split checks I had a frozen patron margarita with a grand marnier floater from the bar and it was GREAT. It was about $24 so I'm glad it was worth the price. The chicken was phenomenal but the waffle was doughy. I also had a bite of one of the crab beignets. It was delicious too! One down side to this place is that it's very, very loud. The music is deafening. With the music and the crowd it can definitely be sensory overload. Also, they don't split checks which leave everyone to cashapp or Venmo each other or use cash to cover payments. read more
