I recently asked Taste to cater a corporate event my company was holding in LA. Being from New York, I wasn't familiar with the local vendors but came across Taste online and the...

I went here for brunch and the portions were extremely bland and small. We waited for 10 mins as waiters and waitresses passed by our table without acknowledging us and we had to...

Don't waste your money 6/30/2005

I had an expense account dinner here for 3 people and even though I wasn't paying for it I still felt swindled. The problem is that this restraunt was highly rated so I went in with big expectations. Well there is no way that this place deserves a 9.4 rating. We tried 3 different wines by the glass and each one was worse than the last. The service was great but food was uninspired. more

great food, better prices 6/11/2005

had a great time at Taste. service was great, food was better and the prices the best. the salmon rolls with the spicy, sweet sauce were awesome and i don't even like salmon. were were a group of 5 and we all ordered different dishes to try it out. all were tasty except that the spicy, garlic shrimp with blood oranges should've been called just orange shrimp. ended with this chocolate cake desert layered with caramel, whipped cream, nuts, banana and ice cream that sounded way too sweet, but was not at all. very good dining experience overall! Pros: food, ambience, price Cons: corkage fee more

My New Kitchen 6/6/2005

I happened into this place in my neighborhood a couple of months ago when they were just beginning to put this place together. After learning that the guy opening this place was the son of Cathy Halter I became immediately excited. She is the Executive Chef and has two of her own places on the Island of Kauai. I eat at no other place when I'm on the Island. She really understand flavor, and I can't think of a more perfect name than ""Taste"" for her new menu. Additionally, they have hired a woman who has many years of experience with one of the big restaurant companies to run they place. I can walk to the place from my house and I've been about twice a week on average since they've been open. BRAVO! Pros: Great Menu, Terrific Value, Good Service more

""New Hot Spot"" 6/3/2005

Gotta Try!! Although it's a new restaurant and working out its kinks, you HAVE to try. The pizzettas are great to share and the red wine chuck roast is wonderful. The spicy garlic shrimp was good but a tad bit on the bland side. enjoy!! Pros: Food, Service, Ambience more

Very tasty! 5/24/2005

We come here every Sunday for brunch and it is always tasty food and a great atmosphere. We mainly come for the delicious kobe burger, but the patio and the very friendly staff are reasons why we always come back!!! Pros: Inexpensive more

Best Spicy Garlic Shrimp 5/19/2005

If you're looking for the ""next best place to eat"", this is it. I of course could not get a table at Ago, so I decided I would try this new restaurant just a block away. I loved it! We sat on the patio out front and enjoyed a few cocktails before dinner and then I had the BEST Spicy Garlic Shrimp ever. Taste is a beautiful restaurant and it's actually not expensive if you can believe that. Pros: Food, Patio, Price more
