Taste

Yes, Taste is a popular pick for date night. Guests often mention the intimate, polished atmosphere, live piano (and occasional sax), creative cocktails and an extensive wine list that make it ideal for special evenings. It’s casual‑elegant dining with contemporary American cuisine, so plan for a relaxed but refined night out. Consider booking a reservation and asking for a quieter table if you want extra privacy.

Portions at Taste are generally generous and satisfying. Many guests mention hearty entrees and large portions, some call them “huge” while others say portions are just right for a full meal. If you like to try several dishes, consider sharing an appetizer or dessert; guests also report substantial specials and entrees that often leave room for take‑home leftovers.

For a quieter, more relaxed experience go early in the week or take an early evening seating. Guests report that weekdays (especially Tuesday) and earlier dinners are calmer and service tends to be quicker. If you prefer a lively scene, Friday and Saturday nights are busiest, book ahead for weekend evenings or pre‑theater times.

The restaurant does not advertise private party rooms and is not set up for large party bookings, so call ahead if you need special accommodations for groups.
