We tried this out on a whim. My girlfriend and I loved the ambiance, the food, the service was great and we still left with food for the next day.I love how they give you options to choose and try multiple things and we were both surprised at how big the portion sizes were!I would highly recommend it and we will be going back the next time we head down to the SLO area!
The combo plates are such a good idea. Every element is well thought out and delectable. It’s quite hard to go wrong here.

On Wednesday, March 6, 2024, we dined at TASTE! Craft Eatery and we were blown away by the exceptional small plates and delicious sandwiches they had to offer. The bahn mi sandwiches were a standout, with one loaded with jalapeños for an extra kick of flavor. The BLT was packed full of bacon and the kale salad was a delightful addition to our meal.The atmosphere at TASTE! Craft Eatery is casual and inviting, perfect for a laid-back meal with friends or family. The service was friendly and attentive, making our dining experience even more enjoyable.Overall, I highly recommend TASTE! Craft Eatery for anyone looking for a great meal with a variety of options to choose from. I can't wait to go back and try more of their tasty dishes!

Excellent cocktails - they do a dirty martini right. And food choices (both portion size and variety) make this place a real winner. Tons of veggie options too.Edited: Great service too. Called it out with the stars and wanted to reinforce it in the review. People working here appeared genuinely happy to be there. And it reflected in how we were treated.

Sooooo TASTE!y !! I've loved this spot since they opened at a smaller location down the road and finally made it into their new digs and it is amazing! Very nice restaurant top to bottom. Great indoor seating, very nice bar area with a wide variety of spirits and they have a wonderful outside area dining area as well as more of a lounge/cocktail area, wonderful setup.The food has always been high quality. And they set it up where you pick 2, 3 or 4 items to create your custom plate or set it up for the table to share, it's really fun!This go, I had the Cubano with one of their brussel sprouts (they have about 4 types) and some fries, all delicious! My friend had the pesto chicken and a salad, she also said it was delicious. I have never had a bad meal there.And the service has always been spot on from start to finish. We were greeted perfectly and our waitress was friendly and super on it. Great atmosphere and amazing food, highly recommend!!
I loved the way they treated us, from the reception, very kind, cordial and friendly staff, in addition to having the added bonus of trying to be bilingual; a very pleasant experience; Its delicious food and portions according to its price; The flavor was also up to par; its very warm atmosphere; We are left with the feeling of returning.

Place is nice. Waitress very stiff not friendly. Did not check drinks. Ordered 2 sliders, fried chicken slider that looked like and shaped like a frozen fish stick very odd. I’m still stunned Burger slider over cooked and dry, wrong choice of bread. Greens piled high on both, remove half to find the protein and disappointed when I did. First visit very disappointed. I noticed the bar was busy. Maybe that’s lure.

Really creative place with " sliders" by the 2, 3, or 4 varieties. The apps are large and very tasty.

I'm new to the area, and I live at condos close by. The food is amazing, and their portions are big for their appetizers, almost like a whole meal. I definitely recommend this place. It's definitely worth trying.

Very cool place, but portions are small. Expect to spend a bit for a full meal.
I have been here over a dozen times over the years and it's always delicious. I used to get option paralysis because there are so many menu options... I solved this by just randomly pointing to the section of the menu now, which works very well. I have yet to be disappointed with any of my random selections, which is saying a lot!

Great service and food was ready earlier than scheduled. The mac and cheese tasted like vinegar with slices of cheese on top. The earth patty burger was a strange dehydrated inedible disc. The kale was old yellow and the quinoa was inedible. Overall

You may be surprised to find on your bill a charge for using a credit card. First time ever experienced that. Even when I left a 20% gratuity.

Taste in San Luis Obispo is a great spot for a good meal. My wife and I love the new location for our date nights. The food is always good, and the drinks are great. The staff is friendly and relaxed, making it a perfect choice for an easy and enjoyable evening out. We always have a good time at Taste.

I was somewhat looking forward to visiting this establishment, however the overall experience left me and those I dined with disappointed and not feeling satisfied. Though the decor was interesting, the service was not expedient and our waters were never refilled. I also asked for the check, went to the bathroom, and came back with the check not ready. The primary reason I wouldn't recommend this place would be the quality of food for unreasonable price. Essentially, it was trying to be fancy but just not hitting the mark in terms of quality or taste. 12 total items were ordered from the cryptically bloated menu, and none of them really impressed. The food was acceptable to eat, but just not what we were expecting for a popular eatery. Hopefully this review is helpful to readers and will encourage the restaurant to think about their menu and pricing model.
