I’ve had several meals at the Tasting Room over the years and the dining experience has been fairly consistent. The food has always been very good but is a bit pricy. If the atmosphere was a bit less “energetic “ and the food amazing, that would be well worth the tab at the end of the night. If you are looking for a quiet, intimate dining experience, the Tasting Room might be on the edge of comfort.

Molten butter cake was amazing. Lamb gnocchi was fabulous. We lucked out and had a large table in a quiet corner. Terrific service. Can't wait to return.

As usual, a fabulous experience. My friend and I shared several appetizers. And a bottle of wine. And two desserts. And after-dinner drinks and coffee. Perfect!

We usually love this restaurant, but on this occasion our table was near the bar and the bar area was completely over capacity. So much so, that we had a large group of people constantly knocking into our table and standing an inch away from us. The crowd was so thick that our server couldn’t even get through to bring us our food and drinks.There was literally no space to walk between our table and the bar. We were surprised and disappointed that the manager didn’t ask the crowd to disperse since it was interfering with the dining area and made it impossible to enjoy our meal. It certainly compromised our dining experience, especially considering the cost of dining here.

The food and service were wonderful. I am a vegetarian and did not see a dinner that was meatless. The chef prepared a vegetable gnocchi specifically for me. It was fabulous and much appreciated!
