    Great as always! Cave de Lugney Chablis was very good and fairly low price. It is worth a try if you like Chardonnays.

    First experience at TASTE and it was a good one. The mushroom ravioli was delicious and husband’s pizza was very good. His only complaint was that there was no pesto pizza sauce offering. Service was good and overall experience gets a thumbs up. We will definitely return next time we’re in Starkville for a game.

    Great food, drink service was slow due to bar being overwhelmed! Blame management on that one for not proper staffing!

    Well it was my husbands birthday! Y’all being out cotton candy with a sparkler to celebrate his birthday! Really!?! This would have been fun for a kid but for an older person (70) something else would have been more appropriate! Rethink this idea!
    TasteResponded on December 21, 2024
    Debbie, we are sorry to hear that you did not enjoy our birthday offering. In the future, you may request a scoop of ice cream instead of the cotton candy to accompany the complimentary sparkler. Happy holidays!
