    This was my boyfriend and I’s first time at Taste Kitchen! My goodness the server was amazing and the food was out of this world good! Definitely will be back!! We were celebrating our 1 year anniversary, and we ordered frozen drinks (which were STRONG and delicious) we were sat upstairs which allowed us to look at the street below and kinda people watch. We ordered the lobster bites which had calcified butter and spicy Tatar sauce! Soooo yummy! Then we ordered the Taste of Soul, I think it was called, I ordered it with oxtails and my bf ordered it with chicken. My goodness the waffle biscuit was delicious! The greens we both didn’t care for as they were really sweet and just not for us. Everything was beautiful and we were stuffed on our way out! We will definitely be back!!
