1st time visiting this place and the food was good. Our only complaint was the 1st drink we ordered came in a water glass and was just not appealing. We chose a bottle of wine instead. The pizza was heavily oiled. The creme brulee was good. The pan-fried fish (tuna) was spicy. Our server was excellent.

Visited Kismet Bistro for the first time and had a wonderful experience. Emily M. was excellent. She was able to give us recommendations and knew the menu and specials like the back of her hand. The cuisine was even better than expected and the price was more than fair. 5 stars!

4.4⭐️My husbands coworker recommended this place and told us to make sure to try the deviled eggs. I do really like deviled eggs, so of course we ordered them. Very good, We cleaned that plate! We both got drinks. My husband got the Bloody Mary, I got the Peaches peaches peaches peaches peaches.I haven’t been drinking for about 5 months. WHOA WAS THAT STRONG. My husband said his Bloody Mary was strong too but I didn’t think so, not as strong as my drink anyway. I didn’t finish it.For food, my husband ordered the country fried steak, and I got the shrimp n grits. Both were very good! I’m not sure what sauce they put on the shrimp n grits but it wasn’t super spicy, the grits were kinda chunky, the shrimp was BIG. It was very good. And my husband said the gravy on his country fried steak was AMAZING, And wants to go back just to try the biscuits and gravy. I want to try the pizza! The only thing I didn’t enjoy was my drink, but that might be because my alcohol tolerance is super low. And my husband said the only thing he didn’t care for was the potatoes that came with his meal. But overall, we both enjoyed the brunch and would definitely recommend Kismet to anyone looking for a good brunch!

Sword fish, Rib eye, and crab cake. Sword fish was cooked to perfection. It was so buttery and full of flavor. Ribeye was thin but cooked well. Could've been seasoned a bit more but I can't complain. Crab cake was what a crab cake should be.

I love this place. It is our local CHEERS, they know your name and your favorites. Don’t let anyone tell you it is too high priced, this is not fast food. This is quality food, well thought out, and great portion sizes. We just had our Christmas work dinner there, 18 people. Everyone in the group are new believers!!!! Thanks everyone. Shout out to Emily for taking such great care of my work team. Wednesday prime rib night!!!!!

Got seated immediately even though we were early for our reservation. Orders duck fries as soon as we sat down and got them and our drinks pretty quick. We ordered our entries at the same time we ordered appetizer.Duck fries fantastic - our appetizerBeef ribs were okay.Ribeye cooked well and tender, but not very flavorful.Overall nice restaurant. Our appetizer set the bar high and the entrees were just not as goodStill enjoyed

I have been going to Kismet for years. The service and food has been wonderful. It's a hidden gem in Hilton Village. Their menu is seasonal and they have chalkboard specials. Overall, I highly recommend this place for a nice date night.
