Best restaurant ever for me. Food was so imaginative. Never have I tasted a meal with such delicious creativity. DON'T MISS THIS !!!!!

Great place to eat for a night out in Long Beach. We had tickets to the theatre and this was one of the higher end options close to the playhouse. We had the charcuterie board, wine, and some of their flatbread. They had a busy night, so service was a little slow. The had a few smaller tables you could wait for but seating is primarily on long communal tables. I'll be returning to try their entrees. read more

Our first time here , very nice and modern decor, we were greeted and seated, they have seasonal menu for summer and great selection. We ordered several dishes, olives, cream corn and onion rings, flat bread and shrimp. All excellent dishes, tasty as well seasoned. For the kill we ordered the peach cream ( a must) . They also have a wide selection of wines and beers. This is neighborhood gem. Be sure to check it out read more

Celebrated my 40th birthday here with a couple of friends and I mm glad I chose this restaurant! Super impressed with the service from our server Doug and everyone on the staff that night (2/27/26). They were all very welcoming, attentive and meticulous. One of our friends had a couple of food allergies and they made sure that all of our dishes came without any allergens for her. The food was delicious as well. Only one of our party drink alcohol and though this place focuses on wine, their food didn't disappoint! Price was very reasonable too specially given the current economy! Bring a date, a gang of friends, or anyone who loves wine! You won't be disappointed! read more

Cozy little restaurant with a small but good menu. The fried onion rings with remoulade was delicious. Caesar salad correct. We ordered the steak frites which was delicious, hanger steak was tender, demi sauce tasty, fries crispy. The chicken with maple reduction sauce was tasty as well. Served with sweet potatoes mash. All went well together. For desert we indulged in the dark chocolate bread pudding. It was rich, not too sweet but just right for 3 people to share. Service was excellent and attentive. Owner engaged and very vested into ensuring the patrons were pleased with their experience. I will return to sample the other dishes. read more

This place is a hidden gem. Not only the portions are generous than a lot of LA restaurants, the quality was excellent. The mushroom pasta was the best ever. It's usually too creamy at other restaurants but it was absolutely perfect here. The charcuterie board was excellent as well. The grilled asparagus was nicely cooked with the perfect texture. And the sauce with the poached egg was a delight. The burger looked amazing as well but that will be another night. The wine flight and the bites were excellent. What a treat to have a combination of flights that paired well. It was truly an enjoyable night of great dining. The service was attentive and casual. It would be more perfect if the weather was warmer and the patio would be open. Perhaps a lil live music but that might be asking too much. Nonetheless, this is a must return establishment. Thank you Taste!!! read more

The service is very casual and unpretentious. The food is on point from delicious onion rings to amazing flat bread. Their cheese board is generous and the steak is fabulous. The wine list is good as well. The only criticism is their mushroom pasta tasted like senior citizen fare. It was bland, not cheesy or mushroomy at all. We were disappointed in that one dish. We are older but we love bold tastes and spice. Neither were present in that limp pasta dish sadly. read more

"Food, service, and ambiance -- this bistro has it all. Tucked away in this quaint Long Beach neighborhood, it feels like a little slice of Italy. I've been several times now, and it never disappoints. The food is rich and savory, the service is consistently impeccable, and the atmosphere transports you straight to a cozy European bistro. I absolutely love this place read more

First, I have been wanting to try this place since we moved down the street last year. My boyfriend made a reservation for tonight (Valentine's Day) and we arrived about 5 minutes early. We walked in and there was no hostess or anyone to greet you and no apparent place to "check-in". So we are standing near the "bar" area waiting for someone to acknowledge us and instantly we are met by one server after another telling us we are " In the way."  After moving around multiple times we sit at an empty 'reserved' table temporarily and someone finally comes up to us. He looks up our reservation, confirms it, and then says that we have to sit in the middle of a very long table, on opposite sides, surrounded by two other large parties of 6-8 people. The outdoor patio was completely empty, so we ask if we can sit out there instead and he tells us "No". Apparently they did not have a server that could go out there 3-4 times. Honestly, we were treated like an unwelcomed nuisance by all staff members. It was pretty shocking and insulting, as you you would receive better treatment when walking into a Denny's off the street. Suffice it to say, that I no longer have the desire to go there ever again. Luckily, Lacquered (a block down the street) was able to save the night by making us feel welcomed as soon as we walked through the door. The food was absolutely fantastic and we will continue to spend our money with a small business that understands and practices great customer service. My advice is go to Lacquered instead. read more

Welcome back! If I could give more stars I would. The pace of service was exceptional. The owner was courteous and very warm and welcoming. It felt as if he was welcoming you into his home. You could feel the love and passion in the place. We enjoyed the half charcuterie, Caesar salad, the pasta and the steak and frites as well as the peaches and cream for dessert. Just when we thought it couldn't get more delicious the next item was even better. We forgot to take photos of the entrees because we were that excited to try them. We also loved the wine selection. We are so excited to come back again. read more

Welcome back Taste WBK! We were pre pandemic frequenters, and they have not missed a beat. Fresh, robust flavors and textures, great service, comfy space. Burrata & Heirloom Tomato and the Summer Bucatini Pasta were our fav's. Diverse wine by the glass list. Looking forward to our next visit. read more

HIGHLY RECOMMEND: Having been closed for over 5 years due to the pandemic, we were thrilled to find out that this restaurant opened again. In fact, we went last night to celebrate our 39th wedding anniversary. And, much to our surprise, Tony (our favorite server) still worked there! We share the Burrata and Heirloom Tomato salad, a corn dish, some super tasty flatbread, pita bread with 3 types of dip and my husband had steak (plenty of food taken home for left overs). We finished the meal off with a peaches and cream dessert. OMG, it was to die for. Most of the tables were full (they have a community table in the middle). The ambiance was lively, but not too loud. We are so glad that they are back! (Wish I had taken photos of the dishes to show). read more

Been there a couple times. Food is fantastic and consistent. Fresh ingredients. Service is spot on. Wine selection is eclectic and wonderful. Definitely worth a visit. You'll probably be back. read more

The food is always delicious. I like that they are always making little changes to the menu selections. Service is the best.

Great meal! HIghly recommend. Love the chill atmosphere, great wine recommendations, friendly faces and service. Everything on the menu sounded delicious. Loved the Leek Flatbread, shrimp and shishitos. You gotta try this place. read more

Taste seems to be boarded up (stylishly) and opened for very limited hours on Wednesdays from 5p.m. to 9p.m. They are under the same management as Olives from whence our sandwiches were enjoyed. We ate on their multipurpose outside seating area. When we initially inquired re Taste Wine-Beer-Kitchen's status, we were told "we're one and the same". Which is true but we were given a strictly sandwich menu. Many varieties of sandwiches are available and they do a thriving business. I found the Olive "Melt" patty panini disappointing. Pleasant texture but bland, devoid of flavor, no cheddar cheese, scant sautéed onions as listed as ingredients on the menu. I tasted no seasoning. Way too busy to expect any alterations performed on said sandwich. The Cubano, on the other hand was delicious. Perhaps the pickle's starring role made it five star. Prime location for some good doggy watching. read more

STEPH JUDGEMENT: Cool neighborhood restaurant with an upscale casual feel. I've been here twice now and I'm a fan! The food and service have been great. My friends and I usually end up sharing a bunch of plates family-style to sample as many of their offerings as possible. Some of the standouts for me have been the chicken liver pate, roasted brussels sprouts, and mushroom flatbread. The last time I dined here I had their fish and chips and they were just a touch underdone, resulting in a slightly mushy batter that kept the dish from being absolutely perfect. That said, I'm still a fan and always enjoy coming here. read more

It only took us 3 years to get here to try the Wednesday only fish & chips. We walked in around opening and although there are only a handful of 2- or 4-seater tables, one long group table and one tabling lining the storefront window, only a few seats were occupied. Since Taste is only open 4 hours a day and is owned by the same people who run the superb but tiny Olives grocer next door, there's a certain intimacy of visiting this tiny and extremely local gourmet ecosystem, especially for my Mom and me who aren't big dinner eaters. Anthony, who you'll read mentioned in many reviews, served us and he was sweet enough to make my shy mother comfortable enough to ask him questions about the restaurant. He is awesome and I don't know how he stays thin working for a place like this! He brought us 2 planks of fish & chips piping hot with 2 glasses of Tempranillo. Wine was okay but the fries (LOVE) and beer battered cod (LOVE) found a place in our hearts. Maybe literally and figuratively, but totally worth it. Even though my Mom doesn't care for spicy she cleaned the tiny dip bowl of jalapeno sauce with her fish. They torch the lemon somehow so you can just about pour it on your food without squeezing. Only $14 in 2019 for the fish and, again, only one day a week. It's only one serving for a hungry eater, but two if you're me, and don't really do dinner. Come, indulge. I'm looking forward to returning. read more

I like this restaurant. It's changed a little bit and now they have outside eating which is nice and I look forward to it in the summer. Love the wine they're trying to add to the menu. It's a very small menu but it's still nice. They have a burger beer special. They also have a pretty good fish and chips. read more

I decided to come here on a Saturday night when my original choice for restaurant was all booked up. I of course headed straight to yelp to see what other restaurants in my area were worthy of checking out. I called and a lovely lady that answered the phone said she would help me by reserving a bar seat if I was able to come in the next hour. The menu is simple, but refreshingly so, because it was one of those days where I waited all day to eat and I just wanted some comfort food. Some of the standouts for me were definitely the crispy mashed potato cakes, the tempura cauliflower and the taste burger. Being a hot wing lover, I definitely appreciated the tempura cauliflower in a nice spicy Korean chile sauce as a guilt free alternative. read more

This is by far my favorite neighborhood restaurant. The fact that we can walk to it is a huge bonus, but I'd come regularly even if I had to drive. The place is small, and until recently didn't take reservations, so you couldn't help getting intimate with those around you. I actually prefer the community table to the individual ones, and in my experience, people interact "just enough"--it's not a prerequisite that you chat with the folks next to you, just nice that you know that if you feel inspired to it will generally be well received. The food is very creative and locally sourced with all fresh/seasonal ingredients, so the menu changes frequently. I can honestly say that I've never ordered something I didn't like or regretted ordering, and we've eaten there at least 12 times. The food is best when shared--in fact I've found that a party of THREE is most ideal there. We've eaten there many times with 2 or 4, but with only 2 you can't order as many different dishes to try, and with 4 sometimes you don't get enough of a serving when dishes are served 4 ways (then we'd end up ordering two of the same thing, and you're back to not enough variety). The staff is friendly and knowledgeable and the beer and wine lists have enough variety for a reasonable price. The fact that you can now make reservations is a huge plus as far as I'm concerned--we had a few occasions in the past where we'd show up and not be able to get in--I'm pleased for their success, but always disappointed when that happened, so I'm glad we can now reserve in advance. read more

Pleasant experience. The atmosphere is great and the food was good. But... there is also another side to it. I was fooled by the name of the dishes and their description, with their fancy word selection to describe their menu. It's good food, but it's the same basic menu you would find in any average American eatery, just fancier names. If you're looking for good typical American food, this is the place; if you are looking for diverse exotic foods (as their menu may suggest) you may be disappointed. read more

A small restaurant in the Belmont Heights neighborhood that seats around 34 people, with a long communal table in the center, this is the place you would take a friend for conversation, special event and eventually catch up over the beer and wine they have here. Speaking of which, if you come during happy hour 4-6pm, select wines (1 red, 1 white) are $5 and beers are $2 off. Some of the food selections are cheaper (It's a small menu and it's not online). And if you do like the food and beverage selection, like other restaurants, they will have a beer or wine pairing dinner. Like Phamtom Carriage in the past or the Talley Winery in August. The food here for the most part is tapa style, small shareable plates. We tried: Albacore cerviche with the crispy won ton chips-Fresh dish, wished it was a little spicier or saltier, or more acidity. I think I'm used to more in your face flavor. Indian Fry Bread-4 crispy pieces of fry bread with honey drizzle over them. The baba ganosh and the garlic dipping sauce was nice add on to this dish. Vietnamese meatballs-7 juicy meatballs with dipping sauce and organic farm greens from Lot59 which is recommended to eat in one bite. Yup, you guessed it, it tasted like Vietnamese pho or Banh Mi with those similar flavor profiles. Pan seared Sea Bass with Ratatouille, Summer Garde Herbs, Green Olive-Celery Relish. Love this dish! Super slight crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside with fresh greens. Berry crumble with pepper ice cream-This dish is not for everyone. All the dishes here have a good balance of salty and sweet here. The pepper ice cream is overpowering and the berry crumble was, well a bit dry and it elevated the ice cream 3 notches in the pepperyness. The menu changes here changes constantly as well as the beer and wine choices. So what you see here might be swapped out when you enter the restaurant. However, popular menu items does get brought back periodically. Also got to try a glass of their tempranillo. Great selection for $8. I do have to say the wine choices here are quite wonderful. The beer selection is about 8 taps. Got to try SinTax from Mother Earth and it was on Nitro as well as the Alpha Galactic from Beachwood. Gotta support local, ya know? They do have a cider too here when I was here and it was called Moonlight Meadery. It was yeasty and tasted like a Berliner instead of a cider which I liked! Finally, I like to say the staff here is superb. Anthony and Garrett knows the menu super well and takes great care of you. The bathroom here is beyond the red door and is super big and clean. 4 1/2 for the food and 5 star for the service. Parking is free on the streets. Great place to hang out with time friends. Oh, please note that I was invited here as a guest to try these food and my opinions reflect that of a regular customer. I will have to come back again! read more

This chill, small but uncrowded, modern and very attractive wine bar with an interesting menu is a great addition to the Broadway Corridor district, but it has what I wish my nose had: small pores. Returned a second time: Attentive servers. No ciders. Ho-hum charcuterie plate. Returned a third time: Attentive servers, well-versed in menu. Prettier at night. Cake was meh but pretty.

Probably the best place in Long Beach at this point. Took a party of 12 here to celebrate my wife's birthday. Quaint little place with good vibes and food that is pretty darn tasty. We pretty much ordered almost everything in the menu from top to bottom. Priced just right and serving size just right. You can easily taste how conscientious they are in selecting only the freshest ingredients. Everything we ate we liked and loved. Great wine selection, great prices. read more

This place used to be our favorite. We frequent this spot about once a month sometimes more and recommend it to our friends. Unfortunately the last couple visits have been less that satisfactory. While the food is still amazing the customer service is definitely lacking. My wife called today to make a reservation for an upcoming event. The phone was answered by Anthony who stated that it was too busy and to call back. When my wife asked if some else could possibly take the call since reservation were limited she was rudely put on hold without being notified. Mind you she said "hello" multiple times before realizing this as she could eventually here noise in the background. This is not our first unsavory encounter with Anthony as he often seems too busy to tend to the tables. The last couple visits I had to walk up to the counter to ask for someone to take our order. Why did we return after the first bad experience. Benefits of the doubt I guess. We understand that service can not be perfect every night but when it becomes a pattern it is unacceptable. So sad that we will not be returning to our favorite spot because of their "manager". read more

This place is really amazing! One of only a handful of places in Long Beach that truly provides first-class cuisine, wine, and service. If you are particular about the ingredients used in the food you eat you will be pleased by what you find here. The modest, yet "taste"ful setting is quite unique. My wife and I frequent this establishment and find they always have something new to try and their selection of wines always has additions to tempt you--this is not a place you need to bring your own. Also something special is their elegant, full-spectrum sound system which fills the room with a touch of music without drowning out conversation. Love it! :-) read more

Visiting a friend that just moved to the neighborhood. I have been meaning to try this place so this was the perfect excuse. Service was great - even at the late hour (arrived after 730pmish) Wine selection was very good. Food was OUTSTANDING. We took our waitress' recommendation for the Onion Rings and she was right - I am spoiled for life. We shared the Whipped Buratta PLate - YUMMYYY. The Mushroom Risotto was not my fav, but sister loved it. The Crispy Duck was ... well darn it there are no words to describe how delicious and perfectly cooked it was. Our friend had the Taste Burger and he was in heaven...even added a bit of the left over Buratta to his burger!!! Staff was ohh soo pleasant and chatted just enough but not too much. If you are local - YOU MUST try them. read more

We have heard a lot of the Taste and it's right down the street from us, so we had to give it a try. As other have stated, this place is small, and it is pricey. We made a reservation for a Sunday evening and it was a full house, so reservations is definitely recommended. The first thing I have to say is that the service was not exactly exceptional. After we were seated it took at least 5-10 minutes before we got any attention. In fact, my wife had to go to the counter to ask for water. When someone finally came to take our order, there was no chit chat in regards to the menu, it was just like "here it is, let me know when you are ready." You would think that a newer place that has an ever changing menu would make an effort to describe their food items. Ditto for the wine and beer. Now, with that said, the food was delicious. We ordered the Lamb Meatballs, the Cauli-Bacon Gratin and the Curried Potato Spring Rolls. All were hot and full of flavor, which is more of the Morrocan taste. However, the portions are small. Sadly, after three plates and two rounds of drinks, we were still hungry. At this point our bill was also about $70 and could not justify ordering any more plates. We ended up going to Jack-in-the Box for the two taco deal. Overall, this place is OK. But in the end, I would find it difficult to return and have to pay such high prices for so little. read more

Came here for a dinner around 6pm on a Wednesday. Things picked up about an hour in, but not too crazy. Parking: Plenty of street parking on Broadway and in the surrounding neighborhood. Vibe: Hipster-y with its wooden decor and low lighting throughout. Communal seating at the longer center tables. Drinks: A wide variety of wine and beer to choose from. Food: We had the meatballs and beet salad for appetizers, both were delish. For my main dish, I had the prosciutto wrapped cod. It was pretty good, but I felt the fish itself lacked any flavor. My friends both got the grilled flat iron steak and it was the clear winner of two. Perfectly cooked and the corn creation it sits on top of...AAAAHHHH-mazing. Service: Pretty good. Our waitress came to check on us regularly. My only complaint was I was asked about a refill on my wine and said yes, but it never came. I don't believe we were charged for it, so not a big deal. Overall: I'd definitely come back and try a few of their other dishes. read more

Wonderful small space with convivial ambience and fantastic food. Lovely wine list and over a dozen of a broad spectrum of beers on tap. Friendly front staff and fellow diners, a great local spot. All the food was superb. Started with fish cakes, nice balance with fennel and lemon ricotta. Brussels sprouts with jalapeños and fish sauce was richly delicious. Wife had the house burger, the best I've had in ages. I opted for the pork loin, accompanied with heirloom carrots & brown butter sauce. Next time you're in LBC it's worth checking out. read more

Taste is a little shared plate restaurant in the Belmont Heights area of Long Beach. Parking is a nightmare here because you are relegated to the crowded streets. Om Saturday, reservations are a must for this 38 seat restaurant. The chalkboards and rustic wood common among other shared plate restaurants let you know what is in store. The servers are diligent, although slightly shorthanded early in the evening, leading to some sloppy issues in service (no beverages). The wine list is not vast but is varied. We had the Chenin Black from a Baja, Mexico winery called L.A. Cetto. While I had never heard of a winery in Mexico, I was impressed by this fruit forward, light and tangy white that was a bargain at $7 per glass or $21 for the bottle. It went famously with the food. The eclectic menu is meant to be shared. We started with the winter mesclun salad ($9). The mix of spring greens was tossed in a light vinaigrette and topped with sliced almonds, shaved fennel and segments of cara cara orange. The little medallion of breaded and fried goat cheese alongside is easily divided and adds a little richness to the sweet and crunchy salad. It is an excellent and balanced salad. Then, we had the pumpkin arancini. The underseasoned pumpkin flavored risotto is around some incredible housemade ricotta and then deep fried and served with a yogurt based charred green onion dipping sauce. The smokey, creamy sauce is necessary to bring flavor to the somewhat boring but perfectly cooked risotto. The ricotta inside is great, but these balls could use some minced fresh herbs stirred into the risotto before being breaded and fried for flavor and freshness. Good but could use improvement. Where the arancini was clever but short on execution, the lamb meatballs were more standard but perfectly prepared. The uber fresh meatballs were not at all gamey and were crisp on the outside while being moist and tender within. The mildly spiced tomato sauce and the tangy feta were the perfect pairing. They were enhanced only by some of the leftover charred green onion dip. Recommended. We wrapped up the savory courses with the roasted acorn squash ($10), whose tender skin and sweet interior was the perfect vehicle for the creamy burrata and the woodsy fried sage and sweet-tangy balsamic reduction. The roasted squash seeds were a little much and got tough, but they were visually appealing and easily pushed aside. Because we ordered modestly, we splurged on two desserts. The strawberry-rhubarb tartlet ($9) was a little disappointing as the tart was a bit on the bitter side with very little berry and an unflavorful crust. This dish was saved by the port reduction drizzle and the mind-blowing, housemade strawberry balsamic ice cream. The ice cream was not overly sweet and had tons of flavor. In total contrast, the Mexican Chocolate Tiramisu ($9) was fantastic. The coffee soaked lady fingers were layered with cinnamon, cocoa, and vanilla flavored mascarpone for a choco take on a classic recipe. I even think that they used Mexican cocoa - it was delish. We really enjoyed dinner. I would skip the arancini and the strawberry tartlet, which were both tasty but could use improvement. Everything else was fantastic, and I would come again. read more

Our absolute favorite neighborhood go to. Even our friends and family from oot know Taste, since they've all been there, most more then once, since the menu does change seasonally. Wonderful chef who understands that food is meant to be enjoyed and savored. Delicious! The owners can often be found on site, which to my way of thinking is always a plus. Strong yet simple wine list. And if your uncertain ask the wait staff. read more

Savor the Taste! Kitchen, that is. Pretty serious eats and craft beer happening at this little gem located in the broadway corridor. Had the Chicken liver pate to start, damn fine rendition of it indeed. Had a farro, goat cheese and beet salad, well put together and fresh, Pork & beans, very nice iteration of this classic combo, that was really pork belly carnitas, some very spicy peppers, that if I had to guess, were Fresno and some Rancho Gordo heirloom beans in a very tasty sauce. Excellent Broccoli Rabe & sausage flatbread. Since the small plates were so light, we had room for dessert - Chocolate ganache crepe cake- Very tasty! All in all, pretty impressive. Service was friendly, engaging and efficient. We'll be back. read more
