Great Lunch Spot – Had a nice weekday lunch with my girlfriend yesterday. Came as they exactly opened, so obviously seated asap. Tried the much-reviewed salmon spring roll- yum. The salmon is very mild, and they fried the wrappers just right. The caprese sandwich was so-so but the fries were awesome. The ahi tuna appetizer was really tasty, too. My friend had the penne - really creamy. The service was really attentive, the only problem was that it seemed there was only 1 waiter for the whole place, so wait for the food was a... read more

What happened?? – I used to love Taste, and I used to be a regular. But the last couple of times I have gone, the food just not what it used to be. My beloved romaine salad was a bit charred, my friend's tomato basil soup was inedible, the short ribs were tender and flavorful, but a very heavy dish with the goopy potatoes, and my pork chop dish was downright bad. The meat was tough and dry, the mac n' cheese sidedish was burned on top and dry throughout (with not a hint of truffle flavor as advertised) and the greens were sa... read more

Good Food – I went there for Valentines. Food was really good,especially the raspberry champagne. It was a bit of wait even with reservation ,maybe cause it was a holiday. Good ambience

Understated ambiance, good food. – Taste has good food for good prices. The dim lighting makes it romantic and chic. Friendly wait staff. I don't like trendy places where people like to be seen and this is not one of them.

Good stuff – We were looking for a romantic night out and we got one. Definitely make reservations because the place was packed, but still nice and romantic since we ate on the patio. The food was amazing. I've never had such good food come out of the kitchen so quickly. The wine was a bit pricey, but I kind of expected that. We're definitely going back.

Good food OK service – The atmosphere is what really makes this place. The food is quite good, and the service is fine for L.A. The ravioli is excellent, and they have a decent wine list. Nice for a romantic dinner.

definitely a good spot – I went on a Monday and it was pretty quiet. The ambience was nice, and the food was good! The wine deal was the best! On Monday nights, the bottles of wine are half off which I think is huge! We had a pizzetta with gorgonzola that was good and I had the salmon which was pretty good. My friends had the steak and they enjoyed it as well. I would definitely go back!

Didn't have time to TASTE – Always on the lookout for a new eatery, we thought "Taste" might be a good choice. While the food was pretty good, the service was off. We had barely sat down when we were repeatedly asked what we wanted to eat and or drink. With the arrival of the main course, we told our waiter that we felt a little rushed since we just finished our appetizers and had barely sat down 20 minutes ago. She was proud of her efficiency. To make a long story short if you are in a rush and want to eat your food really ... read more

NOT another pun off the restaurant title. – All the people that complained about the service seemed to have gone during dinner/peak hours. You can expect service to be slightly worse during those times of the day. I went during lunch with a friend on a weekday. There weren't that many people, and we were seated promptly. Service was great, constant refills, the manager came over to us several times to check on us. I had a fettucini caprese(ok) and my friend had a beef tenderloin pizetta (delish.) Food wasn't too pricy, most ... read more
