    Inattentive wait staff that are unfamiliar with the dishes on the menu only to give you their own preference on what they like to eat. Unprofessional, along with the fact that we were not acknowledged for 15 min after being seated at the bar. A simple hello and a be with you soon goes a long way!

    The food is very good with a variety of options. We frequently come here. This was one of the odd times we waited and waited for our drinks and then for our food. They were busy but we never waited this long before. This was 1st time for the couple we were with so not a good 1st impression for them. Love the piano player. He does pop & classical

    Nice evening at Taste. Food was flavorful and the group was happy with drinks, salads and dinner entrees - filet mignon and lasagna. Service was good until dinner was served and then he was not around very much. Didn't offer dessert or coffee until we were almost ready to leave. Service was slow as well. Restaurant was not packed and it took a while for entrees to come out of kitchen. Overall, we had a good experience and will return knowing that it will be a long evening. Piano player was outstanding, but we were sitting close to him and could not have a good conversation with the volume.

    We really wanted to love this experience, but our food was beautifully presented, but just OK and the noise level between a few hard drinking tables and the piano player made it too hard to have any conversation

    Mussels appetizer, Caesar salad, scallops, all nicely prepared and delicious. Seafood linguini delicious, but the marinara IS spicy as the menu states. Live piano music was a nice touch. We waited quite awhile for our entrees, but the restaurant was packed and we were not in any hurry to, so it was all good. We will be back.

    Taste never disappoints! Service is wonderful but a little leisurely, which I like when we are just going out to dinner. If it is dinner before a show at the delightful Dobama Theater across the street, allow extra time and inform your server. In all of our visits to Taste, we have never had anything that was not delicious!
