I had a great experience at KISS! The atmosphere was nice, the food was delicious, and the service made the visit enjoyable. Everything was well presented, and it was a great place to enjoy a meal. I would definitely recommend KISS to anyone looking for a good dining experience, and good music.

Go see my guy Jeff! 🥂 He was an amazing host and a talented mixologist! The hospitality was top-tier, the drinks were on point, and the vibes were everything. If you’re looking for a great experience, ask for Jeff! 🙌🏽🍸

Honestly if it was a button for unlimited stars i would give them. EVERYTHING WE ATE WAS AMAZING. The service let me start by saying we were over the 15min grace period for our reservation. They treated us with patience, kindness, and was BEYOND accommodating! The food again it’s not a restaurant claiming to be a “chef” the food speaks for itself, the service and ambiance! locally sourced produce. Waiters are knowledgeable they all know their stuff! Pricing is amazing. Please go experience greatness
