Seated immediately and then sat for a while before getting menus. The food was delicious. We really enjoyed the Butter Lettuce salad. Three in our party had the Crab stuffed Salmon and one had the Lamb Chops. When we went to leave by the back door, the manager told me we had to out the front door I still don’t understand why, since the other couple in our party went out the back.

Taste is a little gem in Cleveland Heights. They need to work on service as it is a little slow. It took over 20 minutes to get a drink and it was not correct and then an additional 10 to get it corrected. I like this place but they need more servers and perhaps an additional bartender on the weekends. Thanks!

Nice place. Very friendly and attentive service, but not intrusive. Very good food. Excellent wine and drink menu. It would be good for a romantic dinner I think.

It's been many years since our last visit to Taste. But we wanted to try it this year during Restaurant Week. Taste had the best selection of options for the 3 course menu of all participating restaurants. While the mussels were small and the broth saturated with the taste of onions, the veal francaise was outstanding. Plus the it was a generous serving.

Enjoyed a very good meal here during restaurant week. The staff was very friendly, efficient, and attentive. The food was quite good, if perhaps a bit too generous in portion sizes! There were some very creative cocktail suggestions, and the ambiance of the dining room is very bistro like...comfortable and warm. We will certainly add this restaurant to our list of go to favorites.

The food taste was great and the portions were generous. The cost was just a little pricey but OK. Even though there is a very limited serving staff, they were hard working and quite efficient. Wait times were completely reasonable.
