    We just had an amazing experience at Taste. Al, our server, treated us like family. Explained wine selections and each recommended dish clearly. The food were the stars of the evening, however. Each appetizer and main dish was thoughtfully and deliciously prepared. Highly recommend and we will be regulars for certain.

    My partner and I introduced my niece and her partner to Taste last Sunday for dinner. We each had different entrees and cocktails, along with a bottle of Sangiovese, and all were excellent. Laly took great care of us, and Raj dropped by to say hello. A prefect meal that my niece is still raving about.

    Taste is one of our favorite restaurants for celebrating. It is less than 15 minutes from our house and we consider it one of the hidden gems even though it’s always busy so it’s not really hidden.

    Our third visit in two months...and we rarely go out. We're working our way through the menu, which is contemporary and very well executed, and while not inexpensive, it is fairly priced for what you get and the talent that prepared everything...make no mistake, these guys can cook! This time I had the Paella, which was excellent and full of fresh fish and seafood, served over saffron rice and finished with a little fresh cilantro sprinkled on top; one of our friends had the roast duck entree, large portion served with roasted vegetables, noodles and a hearty brown sauce...he raved about it. Great friendly service, and I'm sure we'll go back very soon.

    Our second visit in three weeks, and once again, it was excellent! Outstanding menu, and these folks can cook! We shared a couple of appetizers (arancini balls/marinara and lobster cheese ravioli); I had roast duck, everything was superb! Nice wine/cocktail list, and wonderful dessert choices...even the coffee was excellent...not cheap/not expensive, but fairly priced for what they serve...we have friends coming to visit in October, this will be our recommendation. Parking is super convenient.

    Wednesday at Taste. We had been to Taste albeit over a year ago and were looking for something on Wednesday night. Easy to get reservations but when we arrived our choices were a table in the doorway, a bankette next to other diners or a hightop. Service was somewhat slow throughout the evening although the restaurant was not full. Server was very pleasant, however. Food was good but not "knock your socks off" good. Wine prices are about 2-3 times retail. It is a very stylish restaurant but pretty noisy but not unreasonably so. It's a pretty solid restaurant and a good plan "B"

    We sat outside since it was a nice evening. Unfortunately it took around 25 minutes for a server to approach our table. My wife went inside a couple of times to try and get service and the staff members she spoke to were dismissive and not very friendly. I was ready to just leave. When the server finally came out she was very pleasant and apologetic and we ordered the Mussels and Blackened Scallops. The mussels were small and not as good as they have been in the past. The scallops were delicious. We've been to this restaurant many times but probably won't be coming back.

    We ordered the cheese plate as appetizers, very nice. One guest had the special fish dinner and loved it, I had scallops, very tasty, our guest of honor had the lamb. The plate had 3 very charred and burnt lamb chops that was so over cooked it was almost inedible. Maybe 3 oz of meat total for $45. Their reservation system wasn't working so they did not see the reservation note I wrote saying we had a special birthday, so I was kind of disappointed about that.

    We went on a Tuesday evening and it was very pleasant. It was not crowded and so it was quiet. Had not been there for quite a few years, but remembering how good it was, I wanted to try it again. We were not disappointed. The young lady serving us was excellent and so pleasant, The food was very good and well presented and by today's standards very reasonably priced. Looking forward to returning.

    Food and service were very good. Menu is diverse, as is wine list, and all are reasonably priced. Being a weekend evening, it was quite crowded, which we like to see in a restaurant. However, it is also very noisy with tables set close together and that can make conversation difficult. The noise level is my only criticism.
