"The owner/Chef is to be commended for his establishment!! Everything about our experience at Tayst was outstanding!!!! The food....I have never had better food!! Everything we had for our meal was cooked perfectly. The service was fantastic and it was refreshing to dine in a place, while busy was still quiet...you do not find that in many places. Would recommend this place to everyone!"

"would recommend for a good laugh. Definitely caters to a 50+ crowd. Interior design and art was nauseating, literally there was a painting of a obese man at a hot dog stand. As a foodie none of the main dishes excited us, however we settled on the bison ribeye (which was bland) on a polenta cake (which was tasty thank you salt!) the first courses (we ordered 3) were all dry and over cooked. We brought our own wine which was the best part of the meal (Rex Hill Pinot noir). The music made me want to kill myself, worse than Muzak we were subjected to an endless stream of adult jazz remakes of classic rock including, the Beatles, and the Stones among others. On entering we felt like we were at an awkward party, half full Saturday night 8:30."

"We ate vegan and wanted every recipe we tried in our 5 course meal that the chef made up especially for us. I highly recommend. Don't come in a hurry. Ask the bartender about his special gin collection....ransom!"

"Always enjoy our visits to Tayst! This time was no exception. The wine selections were amazing and perfect with every course. The ravioli with tequila syrup was one of the best things I've ever eaten, and don't get me started with the butternut squash beignets - divine! Tayst has been one of our favorite food & wine spots since they opened. We will continue to return again and again."

"My wife and I dined here on a Saturday night. Overall we were very unimpressed, here are the details. We ordered the couple tasting menu. It started well with a fried pork belly over a pistachio based salad. The next course was fried trout belly, served with a streak of mustard, and olive, and a roll of prosciutto filled with apricot jam - The flavors made no sense together??? There were two more dishes (an apple bisque with sturgeon, and some type of bread pudding desert). For the last course the waiter did not even explain what the dish was as scooted off before we could ask. The wine pairing was marginal (just somethings they took of their 'by the glass' menu. Very disappointing."
