Arrived a bit early but welcomed none the less. Lovely staff and great ambience. Enclosed rooftop which was hot but made more pleasant with fans. Food really nicely presented and tasty. Cocktails very well presented and reasonable value. No rush on table.

We have tried to book at Kiss & Tell 3 times...and finally we got to go! It didn't disappoint :) The service was professional. The food was tasty and our Gluten Free guest was extremely well catered for. We loved the booth seating and the ambience (buzz) of the place was excellent. We had the set menu - which was a steal at $49 pp and there was plenty of food. The only thing that needed a little attention were the bathrooms...maybe checking them a couple of times during service would be beneficial. Thanks for a memorable night out.
