It had been a long time since we had been to Taste and now I am not sure why we waited so long…. The staff was very accommodating with my dairy intolerance. Our server was fun and prompt with deep knowledge of the menu. The Halibut special was perfectly prepared and the Roasted beet Salad was well portioned.

My sisters and I went to Taste and we enjoyed the intimacy of the restaurant. This is a good place for dating. Our server was great as well as food and drink. Look forward to going again.

Maybe you have to be a regular to get great service. We went in and were seated by the bartender who I think was supposed to be our server too. He brought water and never returned. I watched him serve others at the bar and tables nearby received drinks and food even though they showed up after us. Another server came by and took our food and drink order. After ten minutes I hadn’t received my drink so I walked over to the bar where the manager was chatting with patrons. I asked him about my drink. He spoke to the bartender and I received a dripping glass with my lemon martini. The drink was the best part of the meal. My lambchops were overcooked and I just feel like everything was overpriced,especially since the menu prices in the restaurant were different from the online prices. I’ve had better from here, but I don’t think I’ll be returning.

5-16-23. Dine here only if you have approx 2.25 hours for dinner. It took 40 minutes for our appetizer (truffles fries) to arrive at the table. Then it took another 45 minutes for our entrees to arrive. Items asked for (extra salad dressing) were overlooked and they brought me the wrong salad. Service kills this place. The food was very good (gnocchi) which is a shame because food like that should be coupled with great service. There was one young lady managing the tables. If this place would hire some extra servers (and please hide all those exposed and sloppily hung cable and speaker wires) it would sing and do very well.

The food is delicious. Not many tables so you need to make a reservation until you sit at the bar. It’s a little gem tucked away on Lee Rd. Very intimate.

The service was friendly if a bit slow. My gnocchi was amazing (fresh shredded cheese as an option would be great) and my husband’s filet Napoleon was unique and for rave reviews. We came for the creme brulee and it was okay, but I would definitely come back.

Food was very good although we had to wait an hour for the food. We had the Veal Francaise, the Roasted Chicken, the Duck au Vin. Service was about as bad as it can be. Our server had no idea what was on the menu. They ran out of swordfish very early in the evening. I am pretty sure that swordfish was never on the menu. My wife asked the difference between the roasted chicken and the airline chicken and our server could not tell us. I asked if they still had Osso Bucco on the menu and our server said “I don’t think so”. She had no idea what osso Bucco is. We had to ask for bread three times and when it came it was stale. Our server did not delete an item that was not ordered. She was absolutely terrible. We probably will not go back. A shame because most of the food was decent.

I wanted to love this place. The food is amazing and so well made. However, the cocktails and service left much to be desired. The few cocktails we have ordered were sickeningly sweet– go for the wine, they do have a great selection.

Taste is easily becoming my favorite restaurant. This was only our second time eating here, but it continues to astound me how high quality the entire experience is dining there. The food is incredible. Every part of it. The apps, salads, and entrees. There is attention to detail in every bite. I ordered the filet mignon. I almost never order this steak when I’m out because it’s usually underwhelming. I decided to give it a go because the wine reduction sauce was really grabbing my attention. I’m so glad I did. This steak was *almost* unnaturally tender. It was as soft as butter. I didn’t even know it was possible for it to be cooked that perfectly. I could rave about the food here at Taste for a long time. I haven’t been disappointed yet. The cherry on top is that the wait staff are so friendly and knowledgeable. Our waitress remembered us after it had been several months since we’d been in. She really knew her wine and was able to help guide us to a decision.
