Taste Kitchen is one of the few restaurants that has consistent excellence. I will forever bring my out of town guests here to experience it. I will forever patronize TK.

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.

This was our first visit. We sat on the patio so the noise from the street was noticeable but not distracting. Our servers were attentive and so very pleasant. The food was excellent. The presentation of the deviled eggs was whimsical -- it made us both smile? The cocktails were inventive and delicious. Our entrees were also artistically plated. My friend and I had a wonderful time. Food and ambience exceeded expectations!!

My friend couldn’t make it so I was solo. I throughly enjoyed my experience. Of course I should have called in advance for more specific directions from the Avenida Las Americas parking garage, but I called from the crossways and was directed. Whew! I didn’t want to be late for my noon reservation. I arrived exactly on-time. I was immediately seated. Jovan cane over to introduce herself and the service began. Jovan was very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. I ordered a lavender lemon drop martini. It was delicious and refreshing. I ordered the fried lamb chops with grits and an egg over hard with a delicious gravy on the grits. The fried lamb chops were perfectly fried and very tender. The grits were deliciously seasoned and my egg was cooked perfectly. Over hard but not too hard. I boxed my leftovers and took them home to eat later. I enjoyed my 1st visit and will definitely return. By the way, they validate for up to two hours. A definite bonus.

We had an excellent celebration dinner at Tony's! For momentous occasions, we make a trip to this legendary Houston restaurant! The food was especially fantastic during this time. The banana foster soufflé was the best we've ever had.
