We enjoyed our meal so very much this evening. We tried the artichoke soup which was perfect and made without dairy or chicken stock. I ordered the Chicken Dijonnaise and my sweetie had the vegetable torta. Both dishes were excellent and were obviously prepared with great care. Service is lovely and continental style. The restaurant is open and airy with some singular decor choices.

Very nice family run restaurant - dad, mom, and the kids. Enjoyed the food as it reminded me of the type of food my dad would eat. Enjoyed the rabbit with braised red cabbage which is a favorite of mine. Service was excellent and very attentive.

Taste is so wonderful! They make you feel like family by the end of the meal. The food is so delicious and made fresh. What a treasure!

Good food, great service. A little pricey. The chicken Dijonaise was really good. All of our entrees were served at the same time. Desserts were also delicious - just wish they had the chocolate tart that day.

Great takeout fine hamburger fries and a Caesar salad thank you very much. It's a pleasure doing business with you thank you Sue

This beautiful bistro is only a mile and a half away from Cannery Row. The first time my husband and I found this restaurant we were pleasantly surprised at the beautiful atmosphere, great service, quietness of the dining room, and how fast we got our mouthwatering steak dinner. I would recommend ordering the filet mignon for dinner or trying a banana chocolate chip muffin for breakfast .

What a great family owned restaurant. My fiance, daughter, and I had found this cute joint while searching for a restaurant that had great quality of food. My fiance had the Red Oak Leaf Salad and I had the escargots to start off with. Both were extremely delicious. Even my picky toddler daughter wanted to eat the salad, which was good to see, considering she doesn't really like eating vegetables. For our main course, I ordered the rib eye steak and my fiance ordered the chicken apple sausages. For our picky daughter, we ordered her the spinach and cheese ravioli, just so she can get some veggies in her system. After her first bite, she said "yummy!!!" All dishes were extremely delicious and my mouth is watering just thinking about them right now lol. The service too was great and we had the pleasure of meeting the owner, Sue, and her beautiful family, who also worked at the restaurant. You can tell that these family has a lot of passion towards their business since the food is made with love and it shows! We definitely will be returning when we come back to visit Monterey next year. Overall, excellent service and food!

Follow Up- I brought my husband here to celebrate his birthday. What beautiful memories this family restaurant gifted us with from start to finish. Greeted warmly at the door by Reyna and Susan the co owner came to our table to tell us about the specials and take our order. I felt like I was visiting someone's home as it's very comfortable and cozy with small tables some with bench seating. The walls are lined with family photos and Susan even showed us some of her very talented adult children's artistic creations. Onto the incredible food: I opted for the special, sea bass with a white wine sauce, capers and vegetables served with mashed potatoes and steamed broccoli. This came with a side salad or soup. I chose the Caesar and it was the perfect size. The fish was delicate and the sauce just a tad runny yet very nicely flavored. I adore capers and there were also some Kalamata olives also a favorite of mine. See photo. My husband opted for the filet and it was cooked perfectly, and served with fries. He said the beef was very good. We also ordered Tai tea and I asked for non dairy which they gladly accommodated. For dessert my husband ordered the brioche bread pudding with apricot sauce which I literally got two small bites of. To be fair this is a difficult dish to share it's so delicious. I also ordered a French roast decaf which rounded out the meal very nicely. The bill came to around $75.00 as they gifted the dessert for the husband's birthday. Very reasonable prices and as already mentioned family owned by some of the most gracious servant hearted people you would ever hope to encounter in this lifetime. I am thinking this is going to become our favorite restaurant to bring out of town guests to and celebrate special events with.

Stopped by for the first time today for some coffee and pastries and was delighted by the quality of the food, the beautiful and comfortable atmosphere, and most of all the warm and welcoming hospitality. The zaatar manaeesh, almond croissant, and Karaki Latte were all fantastic. I highly recommend!

We were totally surprised by dinner at Taste Cafe & Bistro this evening! This unassuming little spot in Pacific Grove is deceiving from the outside. Once you enter, it's like you've been transported to a cozy European cafe. Small bar on the left, cozy dining room and open kitchen in the back to the right. As soon as we walked in we were warmly greeted by Sue and offered our pick of tables. We ate early, but this spot filled up quickly! We started with salad and soup. Mom had a half Caesar which she thoroughly enjoyed while Marty and I each had a cup of the roasted tomato and lentil soup. While the soup looks creamy, there is no cream - simply puréed lentils which with the roasted tomato made a flavorful and satisfyingly healthy soup! Dinner was amazing! We each shared tastes of our dishes. While I was tempted by the special rockfish, I had been eyeing the Chicken Dijionase, grilled herb marinated chicken breast, served with sautéed mushroom, Dijon cream sauce and au gratin potato, so that's what I chose. I hesitate to order chicken breast out as it's so easy to overcook, but this was done perfectly! Tender, moist and such a decadent sauce! Marty's Marinated Lamb Filets, grilled, in a cabernet shallot sauce with sauteed spinach, red peppers, pine nuts, and au gratin potatoes was probably the star of the evening! The lamb was a perfect medium rare and so tender. The accompanying Cabernet shallot sauce was just delicious, light with such a hearty flavor! Mom ordered the Spinach and Cheese Ravioli, in house made tomato pesto cream sauce, grana cheese, caramelized red onion and pine nuts. A generous portion of this perfectly comforting pasta! She made a good effort, but only got through half! Really delicious! We didn't want dessert, but it was Marty's birthday and Sue insisted on treating even on our first visit, so we went with the Dark and White Chocolate Mousse served with creme anglaise and raspberry sauce. It was light, fluffy and the perfect end to our very delicious meal. They have a full bar. Prices are truly reasonable especially considering the quality of the food. This is my new favorite restaurant in Pacific Grove! I can't wait to try their other offerings! Oh...I almost forgot to mention....those au gratin potatoes are to die for!
