I have visited this place at least 7 times now and have yet to be let down by anything on their menu!!! This trip I started with their transcending Smoked Tomato Bisque! Which come to find out is a back to back champion of the local Soup-er Bowl contest. Then I had their Philly Cheesesteak which was absolutely delicious!!! The staff is extremely friendly and always accommodating. The setting is perfect for a casual lunch, a business gathering, or even a large group gathering. I can not recommend stopping in a Taste if you're ever in the town of Starkville

Excellent food. Service by Colby was very attentive but not invasive. We sat in the bar area but it was not overly loud.

The ambiance is stunning! I loved the white brick building and interior design . The restaurant has a modern look and feel . The service was friendly and prompt . My only complaint regarding the service is the server didn't introduce himself . The cocktails were great ! The lasagna was flavorful and meaty . The shrimp pasta was pretty good , but needed more sauce, it was a bit bland . Pricing is reasonable . The only con is the seating area is very tight .. the tables are very close together ..you can hear everything the table is next to you saying and can barely stretch your arms out without touching someone at another table.

What an amazing evening at Taste. We were amazingly secured an unreserved table for our party of 7 on Graduation weekend and Taste did not disappoint! Our lovely waitress took flawless care of us on a very busy night. We had beverages, shared appetizers and super entrees. With everything being served without delay and hot from the kitchen. There were a wide range of dishes chosen and few leftovers. My pork chop was perfection to me! With our time visiting Starkville drawing to a close, I'm thankful Taste provided the perfect ending!

Taste has excellent food and service! It is a very classy restaurant and great atmosphere for those special occasions! They were very knowledgeable concerning my gluten free diet and I was able to order with confidence! I had the gluten free chicken Alfredo with an Italian salad. Thank you, I will return shortly!

I just wanted to provide you a bit of feedback on my experience tonight.Two of us came in tonight to get food to go. We sat at the bar to decide. Brett is excellent--knowledgeable, engaging, friendly. Definitely an asset. He helped us decide on items that would be enough, but not too much. He offered bread to accompany the order and clarified that we wanted plant-based meats on the pizza, but regular cheese.By now I'm excited. Yummy. We chatted at the bar while we waited for the food. When Brett brought the to go order, we thanked him and left. I assume Brett doesn't pack the order, but relies on expeditors to do that.Unfortunately the disappointment set in when we arrived home. No bread. Disappointing considering it was offered and we clarified it would be included.. Also, the pizza had vegan cheese. Not what we requested and not what Brett rang up. Finally, the lemon crème cKI really wanted to enjoy this meal. $60. We didn't enjoy the food, unfortunately. Hopefully next time will be better.
