    Would recommend! Our waitress, Jess, was wonderful! She was, kind, attentive, knowledgeable about wine, and made great recommendations to me for other wines (which I really did like!). We enjoyed the tapas and small plates more than the entrees. The short rib pasta and shrimp scampi dip are must try dishes! The price point was high enough to keep the “atmosphere” classy, but not stuffy. Will be back soon!

    The first thing the waiter said was “we are primarily a bar, so anything you might want we can get really close to it” I ordered a classic three ingredient cocktail… they couldn’t make it. The food was middle of the road to good, but the inattentive and unfriendly staff really drove the overall experience down. We ordered two desserts. One with ice cream and one piece of chocolate mousse cake. Ironically, the cake was the dessert that was frozen solid. I asked the waiter if it was supposed to be frozen, and he took the plate away and said they keep it in the cooler. When I asked cooler or freezer, he said “actually it’s a blast chiller” and walked away. The 12 dollar frozen cake was taken off the check, but again, the staff just made me feel like anything I needed was such a burden. The check was reasonable, but you can easily the same quality or better food with much better service elsewhere. I know I won’t be back.

    It was our first visit but it won't be our last! The menu was amazing and the food delicious. The service was very good and attentive. The wine variety was extensive. A wonderful birthday experience! We had an early reservation so there were fewer customers but more came later and between the customers and music, it was quite loud.

    Great classic French type cuisine. Had the braised beef, short ribs, and they were very well prepared. My girlfriend had the fillet, and it was cooked to perfection, and all the sides were well balanced.

    Made a reservation on OpenTable. Our table was not ready, but after about a 20 minute wait the manager made it right by offering us complimentary glasses of wine. The food was awesome, server was great, and there was a really good one man band playing. Rocky start, but ended up being a pleasant, memorable experience.

    Taste was a wonderful experience. The food was quite excellent. Although my wife and I are not drinkers, I did take notice of their very vast selection of wines. The overall ambiance and decor was wonderful. We were sat near a window seat during the day, so we got a greats view of the area. The grilled watermelon salad was incredible to me, however my wife didn’t like it so be warned it may be a niche taste. The shrimp scampi was very flavorful and the bread was soft & warm. The main course my wife & I both had the Herb Crusted Salmon. The Salmon was cooked to perfection. The fish had a wonderful sear on it and the crust was very well done. There was a nugget of pesto in the middle to spread on your meat. I definitely will be coming again for a special occasion.

    This restaurant is too small for music especially when it’s crowded. You can’t hear the people at your table if they talk in a normal volume. The server seemed harried. He didn’t remember to bring some of the stuff we ordered to the table.

    The menu was a bit of a puzzle as it was different from the website. The Hostess did not have our reservation in hand and told us just take a seat, not the best. The waiter was very good. This was our first visit and we may be able to manage future visits better next time.

    We had a wonderful dinner at Taste. The food and drinks were great and the atmosphere was very nice. Our server, Jacob, was excellent. He was so friendly and made good suggestions about both food and drinks. It's one of our favorite places to have an evening out and we'll definitely be returning.

    Our reservation, made and confirmed through open table, was not on the receptionist’s handwritten list; so we were provided an undesirable table near the kitchen door and next to a very noisy group. The waitress assigned to our table was overloaded and did not come back after our appetizers. So we had empty glasses and empty plates —taken away by the busboy. So we paid our bill at the door as we left. We have enjoyed Taste in past visits but this was a great disappointment -BTW, it was a birthday dinner.

    We enjoyed our meal. Our only disappointment was the lack of a physical menu. We had anticipated closing several items from the tapas menu, but trying to do that from small screens wasn’t worth the trouble, so we just had small plates.

    I highly recommend Taste—excellent dinner—we had salmon and the small filet. Perhaps spend more time acquainting the first-time patrons with the menu and discounted wines that are a reduced price for to-go only.
