5/5 – Amazing Food, Service, and Atmosphere! Jordan Soul and Lounge is definitely a place worth visiting! From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel welcomed and appreciated. The customer service was outstanding, everyone was friendly and attentive, and the hospitality really stood out. The food was absolutely delicious, full of flavor, and did not disappoint! The atmosphere was just as impressive, with great vibes, a comfortable setting, and an inviting energy that makes you want to stay and enjoy yourself. It’s not often you find a place that delivers great food, excellent customer service, and an amazing atmosphere all in one. Jordan Soul and Lounge definitely checks all the boxes! I highly recommend stopping by, and I’ll definitely be returning!

This was my first time visiting with my family. I made an 11:45 am reservation for 4 to celebrate 2 birthdays. The front desk hosts didn’t have a greeting and we waited about 7-10 minutes to be seated after checking in on time. Our waiter was attentive and informative about the menu and everything he recommended was great ⭐️. We ordered the sweet potato French toast, lamb chops, catfish with grits, and a French toast sandwich. Every meal was truly a 10/10, the first bites were impressive. I added the birthday celebrations on the reservation, no one acknowledged it and we also didn’t remember to state it but I think it should have been seen from the system that was being used compared to other restaurants. Hosts should also have a more welcoming presence and communication. Other than that everything was good and I plan to visit again to try other menu items

We had a wonderful experience at Tony’s from the time we walked in the door until we left. Excellent service and food. It was my birthday and they made it very special. The cocktails were creative and very good: Stardust-cherry & plum brandies, elderflower and viole and the Nimbus-gin, lychee, lemongrass…The appetizers of softshell crab and also the scallops with pistachio puree red wine vinaigrette were delicious . We had ordered the tableside flaming salt crusted snapper 24 hours in advance. It was delicious and the presentation was spectacular. The pommes soufflé were very airy and crispy at the edges and visually interesting. For dessert we had the tableside Soufflé with Grand Marnier. And fora birthday surprise they brought out cotton cand on a pedestal with a sparkler on top. Also the bread selection was wonderful! The olive oil rolls were great, as was the focaccia ad also the cranberry bread. Also, there was a pianist who played and sang beautifully. Everything was perfect!!!

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.
