    First time visiting and I was very pleased with the food! Didn’t like that we have to pay a deposit to reserve a table for 2 people but other than that everything else was good!

    My experience at this place was great. This was my second time here and the food was good, the drinks were great and I didn’t have to wait too long to be seated. The only thing I have that’s negative to say is that there desert menu wasn’t all that. But overall this place is a must try

    Taste Bar & Kitchen was an amazing experience. The food was great and did not take long at all to come to our table. The mimosas were very tasty. The service was great, we were sorted promptly upon arrival with our reservation. The server explained the menu thoroughly and helped my party & I make decisions when we were indecisive. Taste offers a wide variety of food selections from soul food to salads. Photos are also taken that are available for purchase at time of checkout. Overall, great time and delicious food. I would recommend!!

    Great atmosphere with a prime location! A large parking lot is across the street. The food is plentiful and well seasoned. Management staff was extremely kind and approachable. I'm very glad we ventured here
