Kiss

At the self-described “vibe dining” restaurant Kiss in the First Ward, come dressed to impress. The dark and moody Cajun-Creole restaurant is the peak destination for couples on a romantic date, bougie aunties having a ladies’ night, and elegant birthday crews. Come by during dinner for slow-braised oxtails and a slab of cornbread, or swing by during brunch for grits topped with jerk lamb chops. And if you’re feeling particularly extra, finish your meal off with a cupcake ferris wheel, because why not?
