    It was my parent’s first time visiting Tatse! They raved over the stuffed mushrooms and dad was real pleased with the Red Fish! Richard was amazing, and I can arguably say this is the best place to eat in town!! S/o to bartender for the El Pepino! Looking forward to having graduation dinner here in a few weeks!

    We always love our experience at Taste, but tonight was extra special. Seated by the open garage door on a beautiful evening, we were taken care of by our wonderful server, Amelia. Pizza and wine on a Tuesday! Perfect! Shout out to David for his excellent hospitality!

    Salads under-dressed. Pastas dry and lacked flavor. Pizza was good. Service was great.
