The Scene
Kiss Cafe is surprisingly cozy despite its location in the uber-industrial Can Company building. The massive caffeinated eatery is broken into an dining area, a lounge with fireplace, a trendy bar and an upstairs pool room. Mood lighting, gathered black drapes and leather couches create a soothing environment without losing the bright, airy contributions of high ceilings and light wood. Acoustic musicians and wireless Internet access draw artsy types and the young professionals.
The Draw
The long row of aromatic canisters at the restaurant's entrance reveals that here, coffee reigns supreme. The cafe serves up a variety of specialty drinks like Mocha Monkey--espresso mixed with chocolate and banana syrup. A full bar offers standard domestic and imported beers, as well as local brews. A vast array of breakfast, lunch and dinner options include tapas, sandwiches, salads and entrees ranging from linguini primavera to meat loaf.

I have been to Kiss a couple of times, and somehow the experience only gets worse. The service is slow, but fortunately the food is usually pretty ok. During my most recent visit, I witnessed my waitress spending more time on a cordless phone ( pretty obviously a personal call) than attending to my table or any of the tables around me. The counters were a mess with plates and spills and cups, as were many of the tables. I had ate most of my meal without a drink refill, and had to wait a ridiculous amount of time to get my check, although, as previously mentioned, my waitress talked and laughed on the phone. The most appalling aspect, and I witnessed this on two occasions, was the way the owner treated his staff. I actually overhead him cussing at his employees, and not even the girl on the phone. With that type of management, it's no wonder the staff seemed not to care about doing a good job. I'd recommend almost anywhere over this place.

This restaurant is has the worst and unethical management I have ever seen. So recently one of my friends was employed there at Kiss Cafe and was friends with a few of the other employees. Well the manager there had found a replacement head chef and planned to fire the current one within the next day, but before he did this he informed the entire staff of what was going down. The head chef who was sooned to be fired was informed by my friend about the situation and what was about to go down, and she had no idea. Well of course she went in the next day furious and a blew up in the manager face. Well the manager, because of his unethical and poor management fired my friend because of the situation, but not only was she fired, she is banned from there forever, and for what? for being a good friend. This wouln't be such a big deal if I didn't like going there, I have attended one of the biggest events of the month every month for the past year and a half, and now can't go.

I was at Kiss Cafe this past Saturday night for a private party. I was able to find a parking spot right away even though it was a large crowd in the venue. Upon entrance, I found the atmosphere to be very inviting. The decor was tastefully done in very warm hues. It took quite a while for me to get a bartender's attention though. There were about only 6-7 customers standing at the bar and roughly about 10 employees behind the bar. Everytime I would get someone's attention they would say they weren't the bartender. (I couldn't figure out why they were behind the bar then lol) Finally, a well dressed gentleman (whom I assume to be the manager) waited on me. Ironically, as soon as he left to fix my drink, 3 of the bartenders asked me if I needed help. When he returned he handed me a cosmopolitan in a little plastic cup and apologized that they were out of martini glasses.
