   My husband and I both had the new Spring Lamb. It was one of the most delicious dishes we have ever experienced. It was prepared to perfection and beautifully presented. We enjoyed it with a great bottle of wine. The live music set the ambiance. The service was top notch. Another perfect evening at the Tasting House. We will be back.

   Great place with excellent ambiance but a difficult menu to select from. More choice needed

   What a lovely, lovely experience. We have been here many times for dinner, but decided to try their new tea service on a beautiful Saturday morning. Everything was exquisite from the service to the food (probably the best scone I've ever had, and I'm English) to the treatment of our little pup. The chef even brought him out a bowl of fresh veggies to eat. We will definitely be back.

   We we had the best time at Tasting House! We ordered the decadent 15 course chef’s tasting menu, and it was a truly incredible meal. We were extremely impressed by Chef Julian’s use of texture and presentation. The meal was incredibly fun, and we were obviously incredibly full by the time we finished. The entire staff was amazing, and we were so excited to have Chef Julian come talk to us after the meal. It’s such a nice touch to get to hear from the person who created the amazing meal we just ate! We also loved that we got to try some really interesting mocktails! We just said the flavor profiles we enjoy and were brought some delicious and exciting drinks. It was really fun! There was some nice live music while we were there, and I hesitate to mention anything negative since the whole experience was so positive, but it was a little hard to hear the staff and each other over the music. Totally not a huge deal, though! We were extremely impressed with how reasonably priced the menu was, especially for a 15 course meal! We will absolutely be back to try the tasting menu again later this year!

   We attended Julian's tribute to NYC last night and the vibe and energy started at the entrance. It made me feel like i was stepping into a Subway station including a Metro ticket to enter. The Menu, hand written "next stop" with supporting art on the back of a Metro map, was his expression of his favorite childhood foods so he took us through a food venture which was so delicious. And the presentation was so fun! Like the Chinese dumplings presented in a Chinese take out box delivered in the classic "Thank You" take out bag. The lox and bagels were delivered in the traditional take out brown paper bag. The staff was dressed for the occasion and the amazing food, presentations, and music made the evening so much fun and entertaining! Julian's tribute to NYC will be the talk of the town! I'll try to never miss a special Menu event from Julian! I hope he has more of them!

   This is a beautiful restaurant with exceptional service, fun concept, and a unique menu. I really can’t complain about anything. The only critique I have is that the menu could better explain and describe the food. What I envisioned was not what came to the table on a few dishes but they were all very good. 5 star date night restaraunt, 4 stars simply due to the fact that the menu could be improved.

   Food was excellent. Like its name says, the menu is set up for “tastes” until you get to the main course. The small plates really are small, not meant to be shared unless everyone takes a bite of the item. The mains were generous and could be shared. Pairing suggestions were good. Wine was pricey but I loved the 3oz pour option if doing several for the pairings. Live music was a fun bonus but made the restaurant bar area very loud. Overall a wonderful meal.
