    We loved the wine flight and the lavender/honey bruschetta was delicious!

    The food was outstanding... watching the chef make our food was fun from the bar. The bartender was nice but surprised we had reservations. Not a lot of people but still nice to have a spot to sit when you are ready. Chef did an awesome job almost like a sushi chef without the sushi. Great food choices and the food was delicious.

    The staff at Taste On 23rd are fantastic, and know how to select wines that impress my palette on every visit. Quickly becoming my favorite neighborhood go to for client meetings and night caps.

    It’s great to have a wine bar with so many food options. Although I wouldn’t go back just to do dinner here - we had a group of 6 for dinner and chose this because the menu looked so extensive - it’s a good spot for wine and heavy apps in a very casual setting. The food itself isn’t worth returning for but a few items were good. I’ll return because it’s a fun, casual wine bar in a great spot looking out onto 23rd.

    Really enjoyed my experience and the service. The food was exceptional (the best wedge salad I have ever had). I was surprised that the wine was not cellar temp. It is a wine bar, after all!

    I will not be back at this restaurant again. I suppose it could be ok for a quiet and quick glass of wine and snack, but we went for dinner and the menu was way too limited. The food we had was good though, bruschetta and risotto. The server was full of attitude and this is why I will not be back. The place was EMPTY and he would not accommodate us sitting outside. There was a bigger table in the window and that was off limits too! We were the only diners in the place besides 2 people sitting at the bar. Seriously?? I asked for a sauvignon blanc, anything from NZ. He simply said no, we have nothing like that. He did not offer alternatives or tastings! I ended up ordering a Rose my friend was having as she gave me a taste and it was fine. That sort of service is the exact reason I will not return to this establishment. Horrible, horrible attitude of server - not an accommodating pleasant experience at all! Avoid it!

    We chose Taste 23 to give our out of town relatives a Portland experience in a great neighborhood. Our daughter and her friend met us there too. The wine and food were above average and our server gave us several helpful suggestions. We love tapas and the gradual succession of our choices helped us take our time so we could reminisce and reconnect. TrishM

    Went here for an early dinner and were delighted to find out that we were in time for happy hour. Overall, a high quality food, wine and service experience that will bring us back.
