    We had a very enjoyable evening, celebrating New Years at Taste. The hostess immediately sat us at a table for 2. The waitress was very attentive throughout the evening. I had the chilean sea bass which was delicious. I substituted the brussel sprouts and butternut squash for the broccolini and risotto. It was a feature on the special New Years menu. My husband had the blackened scallops from the regular menu. He said they were delicious as well. For dessert we had the lemon cheesecake, which was ok, but nothing special. T he lighting was perfect, not too bright but, soft enough to see adequately. The noise level was moderate, except for an occasional loud laugh. Well, it was New Years. There was a piano player in the front of the restaurant, where we sat ,who played throughout the evening. On occasion, it became a trifle too loud. But, we enjoyed his music, very much. Our only complaint was when someone came in or left by the front door, there was a very cold draft. We came in and left from the back, where there was a very convenient parking lot. My husband got to watch some of the OSU-Miami game. He went to OSU and I went to Miami !! Yeh Hurricanes !!

    We were attending a play at Dobama theater and this is a convenient, plus nice place to dine. Plenty of selections for everyone in our party, I have celiac disease, gluten free, and they could accommodate my diet restrictions. There is no gluten free bread, so bring your own roll etc., as I do.

    The food was really good - each member of our party of six got something different and we were all very pleased with our choices. Disappointing that they do not accommodate separate checks, but otherwise a lovely evening out with friends - delicious food and cocktails.

    wonderful neighborhood restaurant. We have been going there since it opened. The food is always great with a wide selection of entrees. Excellent wine menu and friendly attentive service. One of the best independent restaurants in Cleveland.

FAQs

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.

Taste offers a combination of indoor dining, a large bar area and an outdoor/front patio for al fresco seating. You’ll find regular tables, high‑tops at the bar, and patio seating in good weather. 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.

Taste has a warm, polished neighborhood vibe, sleek yet casual. Guests praise the relaxed, sophisticated atmosphere with live piano (and occasional sax), tasteful artwork, and a friendly, attentive staff. It’s often described as an intimate spot for dates, celebrations, or a dependable dinner out; expect comfortable, slightly upscale casual dining.

The dress code is casual dress. Guests often wear smart‑casual attire; while many diners come in relaxed clothing, some reviews suggest dressing a bit nicer than T‑shirts and jeans for an elevated night out. Comfortable, neat attire will fit right in.

Yes, it’s a good idea to call ahead with special requests. Guests report that staff are often accommodating with seating preferences, birthday celebrations (complimentary dessert has been provided), and timing for pre‑theater meals. For dietary needs or accessibility requests, mention them when booking so the team can prepare.

Yes, families do dine here and guests commonly celebrate birthdays with children and teens. Taste’s menu is broad and appealing to many tastes, though there’s no specific kids menu mentioned by guests. If you’re bringing younger children, consider an earlier seating and call ahead to ask about menu flexibility or a preferred table.

Midweek, especially Tuesday, is often the best day for a quieter, more relaxed visit. Guests routinely report smoother service and a calmer atmosphere on weekday evenings, while Fridays and Saturdays are more lively and can be crowded.

Yes, Taste has outdoor/front patio seating that guests enjoy when the weather is nice. Several guests mention dining on the patio and enjoying an early outdoor meal; the restaurant also has a roomy bar area and indoor tables. If you prefer patio seating, ask for it when you reserve.

Taste offers takeout which you can order by calling the restaurant at (216) 932-9100.

Taste is rated 4.5 stars by 925 OpenTable diners.

Yes, you can generally book this restaurant by choosing the date, time and party size on OpenTable.
