    Great spot. I've had lunch at Taste a number of times because of its proximity to my office. If you're looking for a comfortable, classy lunch spot with really great food and good service, check it out. I don't think I've ever had something that I didn't like. As a bonus, good cocktail menu and decent wines by the glass.

    Great service and food was excellent. Love that the kitchen is open and you can see some of the preparation. The human server was great but having a robot server available was a nice touch too.

    Four of us walked over from the office for lunch after finding the place on-line. The food was amazing and so was the service. We all had the fantastic sweet potato fries, but tried four different handhelds (avocado toast, grilled chicken, breaded chicken and a burger). None of us had food left—it was that great. This is definitely making our rotation and we shared the positive review with our coworkers.
