Reviews

• 5★ Winner! Delicious food and great service. 5 stars! — Andrew P
• 5★ Beautifully done, elegant eating. Great staff — W Ron Sutton
• 1★ Overall, we were pretty disappointed with the service we received from Taste, especially given their extremely high price tag. We had many guests complain to us after the wedding that the bartenders didn’t know common drinks and were super slow. They were even slow for making the signature drink, wh — Akhila Ananthram
