    The food, ambiance, and service was exceptional. There was only one item that was sub par and needs to be addressed to have a remarkable experience. By arriving to a virtually nonexistent valet, the evening started off on the wrong foot. Fortunately, the rest of the evening made up for this. Because of the parking situation, I'd be hesitant to return on a busy night.

    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.
