Firsrvtime time at Taste Newport News. The location is Oyster Point. Parking is my only negative, but honestly there is a lot around if willing to walk a block, or two. Love the big openness of the store. Grab and go is up front and that's what I needed for a drink. Tried a new Watermelon variety from Harney & Sons that was darn good. Service was top notch. They had discount wine up front but the counter. A wall of wine for purchase is in the rear. Other grab and go refrigerated items like soup, cakes and ice cream. There is a decent amount of seating for those dining in. Recommend! read more

What more is there to say about Taste that hasn't already been said? Honestly--not much... except that it continues to be that place I keep coming back to. I'm there often, usually for the fresh bread (dangerously good) and the house sauce (I'd happily buy it by the gallon if that were an option). And the sodas are unique. The chicken pot pie soup deserves its own fan club--comforting, rich, and exactly what you want on a chilly day. The location is another win, especially if you enjoy being in City Center and soaking up that lively-but-not-chaotic vibe. Over the years, I've loved so many of the monthly Peter's Picks--though I'll admit I'm always a little heartbroken when my favorites don't make it onto the regular menu. A small tragedy, but one I'm willing to endure. If I could change one thing it would be to have more kids meal options. I've lived in Newport News for over 20 years, and for the last 10 of them, Taste has been a regular spot for our family. That kind of longevity says more than any review ever could. Reliable, delicious, and always worth the visit--Taste has truly earned its name. read more

It has been a long minute since I ordered food from Taste. Sophia and I didn't know what to eat for lunch so I mentioned these guys, which have been reliable for us. Let's see if they continued the streak. Just like previous times, we both placed orders via their website. For my order, I selected their chicken ceasar wrap which comes in a whole whear wrap and I added crotons along with their regular ingredients. I also ordered a S'mores Blondie dessert which was one of their seasonal items. When I walked in, the place was nearly packed with customers either dining in or waiting for their order. Ours was ready for pickup even before the 1pm pickup time. Bravo to them!! As far as the food goes, it was very good. The wrap was full of protein and veggies and like before, made yours truly full for lunch. Their dessert was really good and not too sweet the more I ate. Sophia was satisfied with her selection as well. Thank you again Taste for supplying the both of us good eats. We'll be back here again soon :) read more

When I lived in Newport News, I used to love coming here for lunch. And now anytime I'm back in the area, I make sure to stop in! I always go for the Northender, with house dressing instead of the basil mayo! My husband likes the hill top. Their bread is the best part. They also have the best ice! The crushed ice, not huge cubes. I always grab a bottle of house dressing to up my sandwiches at home as well. They do take a little time to get your sandwich to you, so I recommend ordering ahead of time. read more

A very chill place to stop but and grab a quick bite. They sell Virginia based foods like peanuts, wines, and cheeses which were cool. A nice place to stop by if you want a taste of Virginia. The crab soup was very full of crab- crab in every bite. I wasn't a huge fan because of the old bay but it was good and my partner loved it. It also comes with either a French or multigrain bread. The Virginia sandwich was really good and had a good amount of filling in it. Overall a good place to stop but a tiny bit pricey for the size of the food. read more

I stopped by here for a quick, yummy lunch! It was very loud, from the music to the chatter, due to the tall walls making all sounds echo. I ordered a Northender sandwich with no bacon and it was delicious! The French bread was soft and flavorful, the smoked turkey was generously portioned, and the house dressing was a creamy mayo. For the sandwich and a small drink, I paid $19.26, $2 of that was just city tax. Not a bad price considering the value of the food! read more

This is the kind of place I love... in theory, but it didn't quite live up to the expectations. First, the good... Ambiance. Location. Both are great. It's large and open and thoughtfully branded. They have different "stations" of items for sale--wine, pre-packaged foods, merchandise. I love yellow, and that's their primary design color. Not so great was the food. Which is why you'd be there in the first place, right? I got the goat cheese salad, and while there was a nice hunk of goat cheese in it, the salad was dry as heck. I'd prefer like a raspberry vinaigrette to a balsamic for this, as well. But that's not the customer's choice to make. The bread was the really old school multigrain hard kind, which was delicious with butter. Presentation is nice, including the signature yellow and white striped bags. Service was okay, but slow. I'd have to try other items to make a firm decision about this spot, but first visit is just okay. read more

I order from TASTE either for pickup or for in-store dining a lot when I am in the area. However, I was very disappointed this time around. I ordered the Inlet sandwich (mozzarella and tomato on ciabatta with a basil mayo and balsamic vinaigrette) with the prosciutto as an add on for pickup, and it was not very good. This is the sandwich I usually get, so I know what it tastes like normally. This time around, it tasted super dry, like there was no mayo in it, and I feel like the sandwich was not filled as much as it usually is. I also ordered the Pretzapalooza Brownie, and it was very good. The brownie was very fudgy, and I loved the added texture of the pretzels, and the caramel went nicely with it. It is my go-to dessert when I go to TASTE. I have been to this TASTE location before and it has been overall good in the past (although variations in quality are common), which is why I gave this place three stars instead of something lower. I would come back here again, but I hope that it will be better next time around. read more

The greatest culinary mystery of Hampton Roads is how Taste makes their multi-grain bread taste so good! Plenty of crunchy crust, pillowy soft interior, thick enough to where it holds up the sandwich ingredients, but not too thick to where it overwhelms the other ingredients. My go to's are the Beach Club (roast beef instead of ham) and the Northender (Swiss cheese instead of Havarti and house dressing instead of basil mayo). Don't skip on the house or hot house dressings. The bottles aren't cheap, but it's the chef's kiss to these sandwiches. And major props for having Dr Brown's soda and Route 11 chips! Parking is usually a challenge, so if you get a spot on the street, count your blessings. Plenty of seating and there's also a lot of grab and go options as well. read more

This was a nice gem that we stumbled upon walking around City Center. We were looking for a lunch spot near our hotel and came to Taste. At first glance it looks like an upscale hipster sandwich spot. I really liked the vibes in this location. I ordered the Beach Club sandwich. The staff gave me a free coffee when I asked if they served any drinks with caffeine. That was very nice of them. There are several tables inside to sit and enjoy your meal. Many families started coming in during the afternoon and it got packed quickly. The food was very good. The sandwich had a lot of meat on it and was very flavorful. The coffee was decent but it did the trick. I noticed they have several different types of sodas available for purchase. There is a tiny market place which served different artisanal drinks and snacks for purchase. This seems like a cool place to come by and check out the local options. It is a short walk from our hotel so we can come back here and pick up some things later on. read more

I tried out TASTE today with my sister and friend. It was fantastic! My niece was telling me about the Lynnhaven with the chicken, pimento cheese, basil mayo....etc. so I got it. Man that was a great sandwich! All the flavors worked so well together. I ate half the way it came and saved the other half for later. I heated it up in the microwave for about 30seconds and it was cheesy, warm, and delicious. So good. The store was cute too, with drinks, take away food, little to go bento boxes, even wine. I wish I lived closer so I could pick up a quick dinner id only have to throw in the oven. The service was okay. I didn't really need help with the menu and you go to the front and order. So it's a normal fast casual restaurant. I'll definitely return! read more

I've finally thought of the word that I have been looking for to describe Taste: pretentious. I feel like they WANT to be a hip, trendy sandwich shop, but end up more like a Cracker Barrel for hipsters, what with all of the overpriced market goods that take up 1/3 of the floor space. It ends up being a high-rent version of Panera. Everything is generally tasty, but I never leave "wowed". It's okay, but the prices are high for "okay". read more

I watched them take somebody's garbage and bring it behind the counter where food was being prepared, empty the tray and then put the tray that somebody had just gave them and they just emptied the garbage on the table where they prepare food and didn't wash it no nothing so kind of grossed me out.

I really liked the atmosphere/vibes from this place! They have a nice little store area with organic snacks and products, separate wine area, and other cute fancy beverages like CBD-infused tea or canned matcha latte with oak milk.

When we rolled into Newport News wifey and I were ravenous. Wifey found this place on Yelp and though I'm not normally a big sandwich guy (especially now that I'm supposed to be on a gluten-free diet) I was willing to cheat. The options here are phenomenal as you can either have one of their special sandwiches or you can build your own. They also offer wraps, salads and boxed lunches. This place has some incredible drink choices and they also sell a bunch of knick knacks and Virginia nuts. Wifey ordered the Chimichurri Steak sandwich (grilled flank steak avocado , jalapeños, and chimichurri on an Italian baguette) and I had The Virginian (prosciutto, turkey, baked ham, provolone, romaine lettuce, banana peppers, balsamic vinaigrette on a ciabatta bread). We also split a Sprecher lo-cal root beer. Though I liked my sandwich better, Wifey's was also very good...just too spicy with the jalapeños. We ended up splitting our sandwiches and while I didn't think it would fill us up the sandwiches were plenty. Loved this place, loved the sandwiches, loved the drink options and loved that I could pick up Virginia peanuts here. If I'm ever back in Newport News I'd eat here again for sure. read more

I stopped by on a rainy day around 1PM, so it was super quiet (which I loved). Our waitress was a gem. She let us try a few wine options before we decided what we wanted to order. I ordered a glass of rosé and the Greek board, and both hit the spot. The rosé was crisp and refreshing, which was perfect for a humid day. I paired it with the Greek board, which had all the Mediterranean favorites. A generous amount of pita, olives, hummus, feta and grapes! I'm a sucker for a good Med plate. Whether you're looking to have a girls day, a casual date, find a new spot to work from, or just pop in for a light lunch and glass of wine, Tinto is the spot. I look forward to visiting the VB location!

This has been high on my "want to try" for a long time and finally saw an opportunity with an available reservation, went for it and am so happy I did. I dined solo, which I rarely do, but this was the perfect place for it. It was apparent that most people dining were regulars. The owner was chatting with just about everyone and diners were popping over to other tables to say hello, as well. Felt like a very small town. Service was perfect - not overbearing, but perfectly timed for a good flow throughout dinner. Their menu changes often, so some of the items I loved, may not be available - but it does seem like their fried oysters are a mainstay and holy moly, they were delicious. I had one cocktail - I believe it was called Watermelon Sugar. It had vodka, aperol and fresh watermelon. Refreshing and smooth. I tried two apps: the fried oysters and the bao buns. Both were fantastic. Perfectly prepared, so much flavor. I think that next time, I would stick to the appetizer section and try many rather than getting an entree. I got the scallops, which were delicious, but the apps wow-ed me more. Prices aren't low, but you get what you pay for - really high quality dishes with lots of thought and execution embedded. I don't say this lightly - this has been added to my top 10 list in all of Hampton Roads!

It's a small, quaint space that gives you that perfect blend of cozy neighborhood vibes with an upscale, refined feel. The food was absolutely outstanding--every dish had unique, well-balanced flavors that clearly showcased the talent of the chef. You can truly tell that a lot of care and creativity goes into the menu. The service made the experience even better. The bartenders were fantastic (James especially stood out!), and the waitstaff were incredibly personable, attentive, and welcoming. Circa 1918 is one of those rare places that feels both like a hidden neighborhood gem and a fine dining experience all in one. We will definitely be back!

Manager offered to replace with something else but I didn't want to wait another 20+\- minutes for my food while everyone else ate. Also, don't order the crab and corn chowder. I didn't see any crab.

It's high-end, which I barely touch due to pricing, but it does not hurt to try something new. Let's see how the evening went. After our entire party arrived, we were all promptly seated. Inside, the decor is perfect. From the bar to the dining area, everything was spotless. You can tell the staff really cares about keeping the place tidy. And they had New Orleans-style music playing through the sound system. Very relaxing. After looking through the menu, I was ready to place my order. I chose their fish special, which was salmon with veggies and a sauce (forgot the name). This dish was very good. It was probably the best cooked salmon I've ever had. When you see seafood with the perfect crust and a lot of flavor, you're in heaven. It did have a small bone and I felt it lacked the amount of squash and zucchini, but again, a wonderful meal. There was one situation which resulted in only a 4-star review. Out of curiousity, I saw on Facebook that they offered $5 discounts. I did let my party know and we were all ready to use them when the bill was ready. But the staff told us the discount was to be used on a table rather than an individual ticket. When we looked both on Facebook and our personal emails, none of that verbage was mentioned. Not trying to sound harsh, but please be sure to state every detail foe customers. We do want to find ways to save some cash out of our wallets. Except for the discount mishap, the visit turned out well. I can say I'll be back to give them anothee go-around. Till next time :)

Initially we were told…read morethere would be a set 3 course menu because of the size of the dinner party but upon arrival they were out of many things on that menu. They were also out of the snake river Wagyu ribeye and strip steak. We were told they didn't receive a shipment of meat. The food was really good regardless of that, luckily they had three orders of lamb chops left so some of us ordered the rest of that. I like that when you order a steak it already comes with two sides. Other steakhouses you would have to order sides à la carte. The cocktails were amazing and service was great. Only thing that was a little weird was we had two birthdays and asked the manager if they happened to do a complimentary birthday dessert or something for the two birthday guest. He responded politely with we don't do any birthday desserts but you can order champagne since it's a celebration. Mind you it's a party of 12 and each couple's bill was at least 250+. Nonetheless, we had a great time and money was well spent, definitely worth trying out!

I had walked past this place over a dozen times, always thinking it seemed a bit expensive. I finally decided to try it and confirmed that the prices were indeed high, which can be perfectly acceptable if the food quality matches the cost. Unfortunately, it didn't. I ordered the burger because it was the least expensive entrée on the menu at $24. While it wasn't bad, it certainly didn't justify the price. I'm not completely certain, but I strongly suspect the patty had been previously frozen. The bun also felt like a standard packaged brioche bun rather than something fresh or house-made. My buddy ordered a steak that cost nearly $100, but it looked like it had been cooked in a pan with little care or attention to detail. Presentation and preparation simply didn't match the premium price point. But he was given a tray of fancy salts to use on the steak? We also tried a flight of their three Old Fashioneds, and each one missed the mark. The Black Forest Old Fashioned tasted more like a cherry-forward cocktail than a whiskey drink, and their house Old Fashioned, which included Grand Marnier, came across more like a soda than a balanced, spirit-forward cocktail. Overall, while the food and drinks were decent, they fell well short of justifying the high prices. At this price point, I expected significantly higher quality, attention to detail, and execution. The saving grace was the wonderful and kind staff that work there. They were knowledgeable about the menu and were able to help guide you through your decisions with patience, which I would expect at this kind of restaurant.

Plenty of those wineries exist. This storefront is all about fun, fruit-forward wines that encourage you to not take life so seriously. One sip, and you'll get why some folks call it "Capri Sun for adults". But instead of poking a straw through a pouch, you get to drink from a wine glass like the grown-up you pretend to be. The new owners have kept the heart and soul of the place alive, creating a relaxed, welcoming, and unpretentious vibe. It's not a destination winery where you spend all day. It's the kind of place you visit to sample, find your favorites, and keep coming back to restock. And you will want to restock. Pro tip: Make a reservation online before you go. And maybe don't bring enough charcuterie to cater a Renaissance fair feast, unless you're ready for some friendly teasing.
