decent lunch spot – Had lunch with a friend here a couple of weeks ago. The pizettas were a delight. The crabcakes and calamari were very good as well. My friend had the chicken salad and enjoyed it. I had the alaskan salmon salad... I felt the smoked salmon was way too salty, waaay too salty.... but i did enjoy the pizettas and my wine. The decor was delightful and service was pretty good as well. Will come back for lunch (especially because the prices are soooo reasonable)....hmm.. perhaps I'll come for brunch during the w... read more

Cool vibe – Got an invite to a T shirt sample sale for NATION Ltd. from Daily Candy the other day but had no idea it was in this cool, funky restaurant on Melrose. Great idea though! Not only did I get some trendy new T's for a great price but I had a glass of wine and they were giving out comp apps during the sale! How cool is that? The intimate space is perfect for small dinner parties and I'm going back now to book my Xmas party!! More sample sales too, please!!

Great Meals, Good Prices Taste has a great selection of food and wine. It is not exactly one cuisine, but if I had to categorize it, I would say fusion. The last time I was there, I had macaroni and cheese with white truffle oil and a soba noodle and chili/honey glazed salmon filet with baby bok choi. The portions are large and affordably priced, but this is an accomplished restaurant. I have never had a problem walking up, so I don't think that reservations are a problem. There is an outdoor patio for dining and that seems ... read more

Taste is great! – I was looking for a restaurant in my neighborhood recently and came across Taste through City Search. I was delighted by the service, food and atmosphere so I was compelled to come back to the site and share my thoughts. When I saw these recent reviews, I was quite confused! The service me and my wife recieved was more than satisfactory, it was beyond expectation. In addition to the amazing food, wine selections, and service, the employees made us feel very much a part of the nieghboring community, as we qu... read more

A perfect addition to any restaurant selection – The moment my party and I arrived, our every need was met. The hostess was welcoming and seated us promptly. The staff is extremely courteous and knowledgeable about the menu and fabulous wine selection. If you're a lover of wine, you will appreciate this restaurant. The ambiance is perfect for a romantic date or a relaxing dinner with friends. The menu is compatible with any palette, offering vegetarian-friendly dishes as well. I highly reccommend this restaurant to anyone, e... read more

Monday nights are the best date night, Avoid not making a reservation, walking in, you may not get in – I went here with my boyfriend on a Monday night, for my birthday. I didn't realize every Mon. night, they have half priced bottles of wine!!! Schweeeet! We sat out on the patio on a perfect summer's night. We started with the roasted beet salad with goat cheese.... um, can we say, YUM. I had the short ribs and my boyfriend had the baked penne. It was so good, we practically licked our plates clean. Our waitress was so swee... read more

Rude awakening. Rushed service in poor taste... – I usually don't feel compelled to write these kind of reviews, but I was truly disappointed by the unbelievably rude service. I came in with high hopes based on some of the earlier reviews, but just don't get it. There are hundreds of great restaurants in LA, so I recommend going somewhere else. The venue itself is nice, but the service was abrupt and we felt rushed along. The owner or the manager came by and basically told us to hurry up. I've never experienced anything like... read more

Rude experience – Not sure where all these rave reviews are coming from? Mediocre food, less than par service topped off with a rude owner. Definitely not worth your time.

Really great barfood! – We chose Taste based upon their reasonable appetizer menu. For a bottle of wine, 3 appetizers, and service it was under $70. The fries were more like potato chip strips, as they were super thin, but long like a fry. The crabcakes were better than most of the ones we've tried at some of LA's best seafood restaurants, seared crispy but not burnt on the two faces, the center was all crab (not googey or crumbling apart - perfect consistency), and zesty with red pepper. Two are served on a mini bed of arug... read more
