“Excellent food, great location”
“We finished with the desert sampler and loved every bite.”
“Our server was very kind, and when offering tips on the wine list he wasn't pushing a pricey bottle, but recommended his favorite, which was absolutely tasty and reasonable.”
“The food is mediocre at best.”
“found this place to be a welcomed change from the LA scene, even though it is in the middle of Melrose Ave. Food is great, staff is warm and not LA beautiful, clientele are diverse.”
“If you are looking for good food, yes this is the place, but if service is of importance to you than you should seek another restaurant.”
“All the reviews point to this being a great spot, but we're not likely to return anytime soon with all the other options in the area.”
“Overall, it was a nice lunch experience - just wish the service was a little more on point.”
“Will come back for lunch (especially because the prices are soooo reasonable).”
“Our server was a bit slow, but management made up for it.”View Less
Highly recommend for corporate events / catering. I recently asked Taste to cater a corporate event my company was holding in LA. Being from New York, I wasn't familiar with the local vendors but came across Taste online and the reviews were all positive. I'm pleased to say that they were all true! I have only wonderful things to say about the food and staff. Johanna, who leads the private events team, was an absolute joy to work with. She was organized, professional, very friendly and was willing to go above and beyond by bringing small table decorations to make the room seem warmer and festive. She made sure she knew the venue layout in advance and planned ahead regarding how and where the food was going to be prepared / served. Her staff were all very pleasant and moved effortlessly through the room of guests, making sure everyone tried each dish and didn't leave hungry. The food was outstanding and after working with several different caterers in the past, I must say that the dishes served by Taste really stood out. I would highly recommend using them for any small or large private events you have coming up. You won't regret it!…
Taste on Melrose: Good eats; Nice outdoor seating. Had the following from the brunch menu, all were excellent: - white truffle oil mushroom mac n cheese - ahi tuna sandwich - crab cake benedict The pomme frites were cool because they were thinly shaved. Tasted very light and airy. Unlimited momosas were perfect...got myself a nice afternoon buzz. Great place to chill in booshie shopping area but without pretentious people.…
Fantastic Weekend Brunch. This was a fantastic brunch spot to find! The food was delicious, as were the mimosas and bellinis. The prices were good considering how high-quality the food was. We sampled the Nutella brioche french-toast, crab cake eggs Benedict, breakfast panini and protein scramble. Each was superb! The service was friendly and attentive and the ambiance was lovely. Rustic yet chic. Very L.A. Would recommend this place to anyone!…
Love the steak!. My cousin brought me here and I have loved it ever since. The space is really cute - small and cozy and the service is friendly. The steak is one of the best I've had and I love the mashed potatoes. It gets pretty packed at night, so be sure to come early if you can or make a reservation ahead of time. Other than the cramped space Taste is great!…
A great place to sample many flavors. My friends and I love to share dishes, especially when trying new restaurants. We had red+golden beet salad, proscuitto pizetta, and one prix fixe with smaller portions (perfect for taste-sharing!) of mac+cheese, Kobe beef meatballs (pine nuts and golden raisins mixed in) and chocolate bread pudding. DAAAAANG!…
