Superior quality food and service EVERY SINGLE TIME! I hold this establishment in the VERY highest regard! Bravo!

Perfect place for a cozy dinner, celebration or dinning in after the beach. Their menu has a variety of items like small plates, sushi, sandwiches, soups, salads, desserts and drinks. I'd highly recommend ordering a few different small plates and trying out their different items. In the past I've had their sandwiches and those are very excellent as well. Can't go wrong with the seafood dip and pita, it's very tasty and light. YUUUM. (It's stupid good) The Korean bbq chicken has the perfect charred pieces, it's sweet, it's savory, it's crunchy--it's all the things you'd want! The Cuban shrimp was also very light and flavorful. The beet and goat cheese salad was good, it comes with a vinaigrette which isn't sour or overwhelming. My husband and I split the cookie pie for dessert, it's delicious. It's a soft warm cookie with ice cream and whipped cream--buttery and sweet but not in an artificial way! They do have a standard drink menu with reasonable prices. Wines, cocktails, beer. Etc I've never tried their sushi but it looked really good--some parties next to us had sushi and from what I could tell--they enjoyed it! Our server was very attentive even though it was so busy during our recent trip. She was fast and made sure we had everything. During the summer/busy season you may have to park on a side street but it's within reasonable walking distance. The restaurant has tables and booths and is accessible. read more

First time dining at Taste and DEFINITELY will gladly return! Great cocktails started the evening. Our waiter suggested the four of us each order two small plates to share. Great food and great experience! read more

Biggest tip: get the Korean chicken BBQ dish! We ordered two, and then ordered two more. This is a place to go with friends, order a bunch of dishes and plates, and family-style to share the dishes. You'll get a taste a bit of everything, and it makes for a fun experience. This place has so many options to choose from, and you can't go wrong with any of them! The shrimp was also a hit at the table. I got the Sangria, and I wasn't the biggest fan of it. I wouldn't recommend that initially. read more

If you are looking for a tapas and martini bar in South Haven, look no further than Taste. They have the most enticing martinis on the menu accompanied with some tantalizing selection of tapas. I tried the green tea martini and it was wonderful. Too bad it had to be served on a plastic cup but the taste was sti fantastic! I enjoyed my martini choice tremendously. My husband had a cocktail. We shared some Korean BBQ chicken which easily became my favorite. The chicken was cooked nicely, served over a bed of rice and covered with some crunchies and green onions. We also shared a sausage over some spatzel which was also delicious, some scallops scampi, and some filet bites. Surprisingly, my least favorite were the filet bites. They weren't as flavorful as I expected them to be but my husband enjoyed them. The staff were friendly, they followed COVID protocol, required a mask for entry into their restaurant, their staff wore masks and they sanitized spaces after use. There are only about 4 outdoor tables so if you are going on a busy night, there might be a little bit of a wait but the place is totally worth it! read more

I got to try Taste while visiting South Haven with some friends, and was pleasantly surprised at the experience! I wasn't sure what to expect from the small little beach town restaurant, but was happy to see the variety on their menu! The name definitely says it all: Taste. Each thing we ordered were definitely taste sizing bites - shared amongst 4 - we got 6 items and it was not enough haha we should have gotten 2 per person at a minimum. I was a little disappointed in the Korean Chicken BBQ because there were like 3 bites of chicken total, but the flavoring was good. We tried to order the hummus but it was sent to the wrong table and our server was apologetic, but bummed to hear that the hummus we ordered was out so they would make a new chef special (it included cheddar? We ordered hummus because we wanted it to be dairy free...) so unfortunately, we did not get to try it. We also had a few servers come to our table with food multiple times that we didn't order, so it was a bit disappointing that we could have had a great experience but were left unattended and hungry. However, don't let the 3 stars fool you - I think the quality was good, just know you're getting tapa size items, and if you're hungrier, just order more. I will say though, I enjoyed the experience, just wish the service was more prompt and we could get the food we ordered in a timely manner. While, I do want to try it again to see if our experience is better next time, I think we'll have to gauge our hunger level before placing orders. We could have ordered more, but due to the initial food wait time, we didn't want to bother. read more

This place has always been a staple for me and the family any time we go to Michigan. In my opinion it's one of the best restaurants in the downtown area. The service is great and the martinis are even better. It's your perfect small town place!! Parking in the downtown area isn't the best but there are plenty of free lots to find and take a nice walk to enjoy the area before making it to the restaurant! read more

Consistently great service and interesting delicious food. The look and feel of the remodel is open and still cozy.

The atmosphere here is very trendy and touristy. Just love it. We had the Lobster Roll and Parm Turkey. The wife had the turkey and she said it was wonderful. I have to say that my Lobster Roll was the best I have ever had. It was like dying and going to heaven! Absolutely delicious. The service was good and friendly. Atmosphere, as I mentioned, good. Dining area was loud but where isn't in a tourist town? This is one of the top two or three places to eat in South Haven in my opinion. Be sure to stop in! You will be glad you did! read more

Visiting the area for the weekend and we happened upon this gem. We ordered the ribs, seafood dip, Pumpkin Bisque, and the cookie skillet. Everything was delicious! The Pumpkin Bisque was my absolute favorite. I had been walking around South Haven on a cold windy rainy-ish day and it was such a comfort. It truly tasted of Fall! Also have to mention that the service was great. Our server checked on us regularly and food was brought out at a perfect pace. Definitely stop by if you're in South Haven! read more

We had reservations for a Sunday night. We were seated promptly. The place was packed so I'm glad we had a reservation. Waitress was super nice and attentive. Our Airbnb host even suggested this restaurant. Only reason I gave them 4 stars and not 5 was because one of my blue gill filets was thicker and was raw in the middle. My boyfriend liked his shrimp and seafood dip. Would recommend this place. read more

Highly recommend if you are visiting! read more

Delicious sharing-style food. There was a long wait but it seems to be an issue everywhere in the town area of South Haven. The server was very attentive and despite the wait to get a table, the food came at a reasonable time. Prices are extremely reasonable and the ambiance is great. Every single plate we got was fantastic. There's a reason there's a wait! read more

We always dine at Taste when we are in town - it's a gem! The small plate format lets you sample old favorites and new bites to share. We started with the pear and blue cheese salad - fine, but nothing special - and the hummus. Loved the hummus and that you can order with cucumbers instead of crackers. We fought over the last piece of blackened chicken in a fennel cream sauce - so tasty! The jerk shrimp with coconut sauce was as delish as always as was the well seasoned beef tenderloin bites. All of this is celiac friendly (gluten free) as well! You can sit outside when the weather is nice which is an added bonus. read more
