Tayst Restaurant

Trying restaurants, being new to the city, has become a favorite activity for my husband and I. This one seemed almost as popular as other new restaurants in town, so we were excited. Maybe too excited. Everything was good. Nothing was exciting. The room is pretty. The service adequate. The management a bit overbearing and intense. Both my husband's trout and my steak were lukewarm and over cooked. They were also out of our wine choice. Nothing makes me want to go back, except maybe the very friendly and sociable bartender. We'll see. Pros: Location, Smoke free Cons: , Uneducated staff, Wine Inventory more

Call by Wed. for best weekend seating choice. Arriving at 8:30 on Sat night, we were offered immediate seating at a table near the kitchen or a 25 min. wait for a preferred table, Seating was available in the bar, which offered an interesting selection of international as well as familiar California wines at reasonable glass/bottle rates. The dinner menu is the result of a creative chef who's not afraid to excite your palate. The fusion of flavors that you aren't likely to pair result in dishes that are familiar but with a new twist. The server was both entertaining and attentive, yet didn't interrupt conversation. Best of all the restaurant is smoke free, which made the bar an enjoyable place to hang out. If you want to impress your friends or clients with a new restaurant, I highly recommend it. They will all think you have impeccable tayst. Pros: Good value/variety, Excellent Service, Vegitarian offerings more
