Oh Taste Restaurant...We Have Tasted and We Want More!

Restaurant:  Taste in Raleigh, NC


Dish:  Fresh Caprese Salad, Bruschetta with Feta, and Taste Flatbread

Critique:  "Get down on it, Get down on it..."  That's right, Taste Restaurant makes everyone want to get down on ALL of it.  Although hidden away in Raleigh, this local gem is worthy for a grand discovery on the scale of Christopher Columbus.  Oh Taste, where have you been all our lives?  The Fresh Caprese Salad is the epitome of the word fresh, it includes roma tomatoes, avocados, fresh basil and mozzarella drizzled with Balsamic reduction.  Mr. Bruschetta and Mrs. Feta and Tomatoes were joined in a perfect union that produced a wondrous experience.  And we are still "Getting Down on It" with the flatbread topped with bacon, pineapple, and basil- this combination is DELICIOUS.  That's right, go ahead shake it Taste..."We're Getting Down on It"

Score:  4 out of 4 Hotties!!


Dish:  Petite Filet with Sauteed Spinach and Roasted Red Skin Potatoes

Critique:  Sure, the steak was petite but the TASTE wasn't (no pun intended)—think fireworks explosion 4th of July style.  Cooked perfectly, it was melt in your mouth perfection.  The Hotness wondered how is it possible for steak to truly melt in one's mouth?  No doubt, the truffle oil butter assisted in the steak's exquisiteness.   Savory pecans added an unique texture to the spinach while the rosemary and garlic complimented the roasted red potatoes.  Tasty, tasty, and more tasty.

Score:  4 out of 4 Hotties!!


Dish:  Crab Crusted Salmon with Brussels Sprouts

Critique:  First of all, the brussels sprouts had tiny bits of cherry wood bacon in every single bite. Bonus points :)  We could have done without the red peppers on top of the salmon.  The crusted crab added another dimension to this seafood medley that caused each crumb to be consumed off the plate.  If diners wish to grant their tastebuds a new adventure, then Taste Restaurant is the place to be.  Now go ahead and "Get down on it!"

Score: 3 1/2 out of 4 Hotties!
