A Unique Culinary Experience Focused on Quality, Classics & Creativity
Tasting House offers a unique experience that reflects global culinary & wine excellence with a bit of adventure.
Award-winning Executive Chef, Julian Silvera, crafts a globally influenced menu that balances sophistication with creativity, using hyper-locally sourced ingredients for the A la carte menu & his 15-course tasting menu. Thoughtful wine parings are recommended for each menu item, enhancing flavors of both the food and wine (think 1+1=3). With 65+ wines offered by the glass 1,000 by the bottle, guests have the option to try wines they may not have experienced previously. The chef's tasting menu combined with the extensive by the glass wine list creates a sense of adventure atmosphere. The space evokes the charm of a European wine bistro. Candlelight and live jazz set the stage for an unforgettable experience. Children are welcome on the patio. Bistro & Champagne Bar seat adults only.

We did the chef's tasting menu with both wine and non-alcoholic beverage pairings. It was an insane amount of courses (something like 16) with 12 beverage pairings. Service was excellent and though not all wine pairings were for us, we had an amazing time with some very innovative courses from the chef. It was really fun!

Friday night with friends: the tiniest portions I have ever seen, the salad was tasteless, the live music much too loud. Couldn't really have a conversation because of overwhelming, pounding noise. Overall, everyone was hungry but exhausted. Never again.

We love it here. We sat outside and soaked up the sun as we enjoyed a flight of rosé with some fries. Chef blessed us with some marigold iced cream. Smashing.

Excellent experience from Chef Julian and his team. I wanted a unique special experience to celebrate our 21st Anniversary. Decided to go for the wine pairing along with Chef tasting menu and let’s say we were awed, surprised, entertained and felt well taken care of to say the least. In reflection there were so many personal touches that made the evening special. The flavors were amazing and created a journey of its own. Cheers to the team and thank you for making our evening special and enjoyable. Best wishes, Darryl & Kim

We had the 14 course tasting menu with pairings - amazing experience! The intricacy of the prepared morsels was perfect, tast profiles and pairing was superb and the service and timing was impeccable. Perfect place for an intimate date to remember.
