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.

    Experience the 15 course tasting menu. You will not be disappointed. Not sure why Tasting House doesn’t have a Michelin star but it’s definitely in the near future.

    Delicious food! We had the tomato salad, hamachi crudo, Thai laab salad, corn soup, beef carpaccio, and the grilled octopus. Perfect for a summer evening. The wine pairings were spectacular! Great service and beautiful atmosphere.

    Excellent experience for my friend’s bday dinner. We enjoyed complimentary champagne in the champagne bar as we waited for our table. Our dishes were excellent and so were the desserts. Each meal had a suggested wine or champagne pairing. They gave us bag tea to go home with. Overall great experience.

    The food here is outstanding! We had the corn soup and it was absolutely delicious. The spring lamb was cooked perfectly. The service was excellent and the wine pairings spot on. This continues to be our favorite spot!

    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.
