It's tasty! – I finally had a chance to try this new restaurant which did not let me down. Service was very good, food was tasty and it came in big portion - good deal as a whole. The beef tenderloin pizzetta was delicious and so did the creamy mushroom risotto. The devil cake was also perfectly done. It's a very enjoyable evening.

Sadly Ew – The food was bland, and for the price, I expect a little flavor. The service was great. My party of 4 was seated right away on a Thursday night. The wine was pretty good, but both my guests and I were bummed out by the food. My roommate and I love Ago, but Taste is closer to our apartment so we thought we'd give it a shot. Not so good. I'll wear flats and make the treck to Ago. I live two blocks a way from Taste, but I don't think I'll be back for anything other than a glass of wine.

What a Taste – First, I do have to mention a point about a previous review of this restaurant. It's always amazing to me how people in LA yack and yack about waiting for 30 minutes for a table. I wonder if some LA'ers have ever been to other large cities. The Only town I have lived in where people expect to be seated immediately and not wait for 15-30 minutes is LA. Try NYC! or Chicago!! yikes...30 minutes is a blessing. Drinks at the bar....it's great. Have fun! Don't rush! Anyway, this restaurant has amazing decor, great s... read more

taste the middle of the road – unfortunatley, my evening at Taste got off to a bad start having made reservations for 8:15 on a wednesday night and not being sat untill 8:45. after finally sitting at our table, the slow service continued. our waiter was below average, at best. the chicken dish i ordered was good, not great. even though the decor is quite beautiful, i will not not be returning to what i consider a very mediocre retaurant.

They passed the TASTE test! – My friends and I gave Taste a try and we had a fantastic experience. Our server was very kind, and when offering tips on the wine list he wasn't pushing a pricey bottle, but recommended his favorite, which was absolutely tasty and reasonable. We felt comfortable and welcome. He was very attentive throughout the entire evening and the ladies at the table especially enjoyed his Irish accent. The menu is divided into two large sections: starters and entrees. For starters, we ordered the heirloom to... read more

Not too bad – Well I went there for my birthday and had a mixed time. We arrived at 6:30 to an empty house which is fine. And it did fill up as time progressed. The problem is that our server, as he got busier, became more and more negligent in his duties. Our dinner was more or less complete inside of 45 minutes and then we waited for 30 minutes for dessert. The food was good albeit not exceptional and the portions large. The manager was good enough to take care of our dessert for the long delay but it is not a large restau... read more

User review by elisehwall – Worth every penny, and you do not need many! The food was amazing and the decor was very comfortable and stylish. Our server was a bit slow, but management made up for it. We were very please and can not wait to go back for more!

Taste THIS! – My girlfriend and I ate at Taste for the first time last night. We were seated quickly (around 9pm on a Friday night) and service was friendly and prompt. We had a special of heirloom tomatoes & fresh mozzarella, then a chicken salad and rigatone pasta. While everything was very good, the rigatone was a real standout - and I really don't even like pasta that much! The decor is nicely done, but the restaurant is a little cramped, especially inside. It's nice to sit outside, even more so because they DO NOT permi... read more

new, wonderful and surprising – "taste" is such a nice and surprising addition to the west melrose restaurant scene... no attitude, delicious and satisfying food in a really lovely setting, all at good prices (even the wine list!)... what more could we hope for? last night's special caprese of heirloom tomatoes was worth the trip alone. do make reservations... there's more than one reason both seatings were full here on a thursday night, with guests lingering after dessert. i almost felt badly for those waiting on the sidewa... read more
