Taste

Husband and I had dinner here tonight on the way to a meeting. Not familiar with Hobe Sound area at all I started Googling restaurants and came upon Taste. The menu sounded awesome and the reviews were positive. We are so glad to came!
Our server, Crystal, was great and very attentive! Upon sitting down we ordered drinks and an appetizer while reviewing the menu. The appetizer of Bang Bang Shrimp was served hot and fresh within 5 minutes, which was great because we were starving!
Husband ordered the Meatloaf with a cheesy potato gratin side. He wouldn’t normally order meatloaf, but it sounded so interesting since it was made with a blend of ground pork, beef and veal. He said it was pretty good. It was lightly topped with a brown gravy sauce, not drowning like diner-​style.
I ordered the Chicken topped with Goat Cheese and Sundried Tomatoes, a side of mashed potatoes with zucchini & squash. Everything was tasty but a bit under seasoned. I usually NEVER add salt or pepper to my food when dining out, but in this case my entire plate needed seasoning! I took away 1 star for this, but also consider that the blandness for the food is probably due to the clientele (Winter Season Senior Citizens in town) who may be salt sensitive.
The dinner portions were the perfect size. The outdoor patio dining at sunset was beautiful! Taste is a quaint little restaurant with overall good food. Crystal was kind enough to add two homemade cookies to-​go to our bill.
We highly recommend!

It’s alright sometimes great sometimes not. On a good day everything is okay. been there 5 or 6 times because others wanted to try it

Parents dine here often and take usher when we ar in town. Always enjoy ourselves and they cater to the snowbirds and make them feel special. Food is always good and the atmosphere is nice.

Tried the Pan Seared Grouper special, it was excellent, a bit buttery, but very tasty, it was served with green beans which were cooked perfectly and a choice of rice pilaf or garlic mashed potatoes, I went with the rice. I sampled the grilled Mahi Mahi and it was excellent as well.
Friendly service, excellent atmosphere.

There are few options in Hobe Sound which gives Taste the distinct advantage of being one of the best. That said, after dining here a number of times over several years I’ve found it to be pretty hit or miss. This evening was a hit with an outstanding lobster carbonara special. Wedge salad on the other hand, not great. My son said his burger tasted funny. The waitresses can but a little surly and the ambiance is nothing special.

All fresh new everytime… potatoes fries… awesome pork sandwich; and I don’t like bbq. The burgers are perfect and the Philly’s are the greatest. try the fish, they get the fresh catch often and soup yum!

I love the taste. Been coming here sense i was young with my dad. I would highly recommend the burgers and their fries. Best.

Great service, great food, great happy hour, brand new bar remodel and full bar (finally)…ask for Kathy at the bar…

Taste is my favorite restaurant in Hobe Sound. The food is amazing (so good I have had them cater) and the staff is very friendly. If you are from New England you will probably meet a few friends as this is a popular location for Red Sox, Pats, Celtics and Bruins fans. I have even spotted Bobby Orr on occasion! Now with a full liquor license and larger bar it is even better!

I noticed that the only mediocre reviews are both from Manhattan. That told me that the place was probably pretty good, because New Yorkers complain about everything. And I was right. The food was great. My wife had the lobster roll and loved it. I had the fish and chips. The cod was perfectly breaded and cooked to perfection. The french fries were the best I have ever eaten. Homemade coleslaw was excellent. To top it off the server was friendly and efficient, she actually enjoyed her job. On the way out, we met the owner. She and her husband are partners in the business and one of them is always there.

They should knickname this place fresh. Like fresh tasting. The mahi taco was good but ask for the mango salsa to make it great. The pesto chicken wrap was delicious perfect with spinach and pesto to compliment the chicken

Great Florida-​casual dining. A somewhat limited but interesting menu. Excellent recipe and food preparation. (Usually never have dessert, but was seduced by the Key lime coconut cake. Wow). Friendly and reasonably attentive server. Kind of a 1950s Florida ambiance which gives Taste a neighborly and highly repeatable place to dine.

New to the Hobe Sound area thanks to work expansion, I’ve had the opportunity to try a few local restaurants. Very pleased with this place. Salad are fresh and easily upgraded with shrimp, fish or chicken. Highly recommend the spinach dip; the chips are homemade and the perfect balance of crunchy and doughy. The escargot was surprisingly good and the key lime pie was well worth it! Enjoy the outdoor patio area!

Food was excellent! The wait staff very attentive! The English fish and chips was perfect, as was the bow tie pasta. Definitely recommend this restaurant.

We headed here with a big group last Friday to celebrate an 80^th birthday. There may not be many places that could satisfy a group ranging in age from 24 to 90, but this place held up to the challenge pretty well.
We had an early reservation, and a nice, long table was waiting for us in the outdoor seating area when we all arrived. While the inside is decorated in a more upscale way, the outside has more of a casual bar feel to it (may have been due to the beer umbrellas and tiki bar). The patio was screened in, and there were some nice plants and lighting in the screened in area.
I ordered the Mahi mahi with mango salsa, which was good, though not great (fish cooked well, but salsa way too hot). The mashed potato and grilled veggie sides were delicious. We had quite a few appetizers, and most were good, though none struck me as particularly outstanding.

We came upon this place quite by accident and we were glad we did! The food and service were excellent.
It has a real neighborhood feel, friendly and welcoming. The wait staff was attentive and pleasant.
Since this was lunch, my husband had the special pulled-​pork sandwich with cole slaw. Nothing fancy or unusual, but a good solid sandwich, tasty and well presented.
I had the Pesto Chicken Wrap with spinach, on a tomato basil wrap, and cole slaw, for $ 8.95. Check my photos. The wrap was filled with perfectly cooked chunks of chicken and the spinach was an added bonus.
Portion size was perfect and the prices were reasonable.
We will return and next time for dinner!
We understand they have entertainment on certain nights. Check their schedule for live music.

Tucked in a cozy little spot on SE Dixie Highway and Bridge Road, the restaurant Taste has a friendly, upbeat atmosphere and an eclectic menu. Dined there last week with a friend and both agreed we would be back.
Hungry for a well prepared and portioned dinner — well there’s something for everyone: almond crusted yellow tail snapper ($ 21.95) served with brown butter sauce or Francaise style, or old-​fashioned meatloaf smothered with brown sauce ($ 14.95), this is the place. Sides are included with dinners — veggies (fresh zucchini, squash and sugar snap peas) or starch (sweet potato, mashed, fries).
Both of us ordered the Mahi Mahi ($ 17.95) grilled and served with mango salsa. We were extremely pleased with the preparation.
Starters were appealing and featured a few changes from regular fare including fried green tomatoes ($ 6.95), escargot ($ 7.95) baked with freshly fried tortilla chips, and bang bang shrimp ($ 8.95) lightly breaded and fried served with a sweet chili sauce.
Nice salad offerings featured a Savannaugh Gorgonzola House Specialty ($ 7.95) with apples, walnuts, cranberries, gorgonzola and house made balsamic dressing as well as the usual suspects (Caprese, wedge, spinach and Caesar).
English style fish and chips ($ 14.95) ordered at a table close by looked appealing and the shepherds pie ($ 14.95) featured lamb, veggies, fresh herbs & spices topped with mashed potatoes. A Maine lobster roll ($ 15.95) is served with french fries or for $ 1 more, sweet potato fries. Burgers, pulled pork, Philly cheese steak are included in the sandwich menu. Homemade soups and desserts are offered as well.
Get the idea? It’s a fun, friendly and reasonably priced place to go for well-​prepared dishes by people who care about their customers. No downside to that! In fact, took menu home with me to study before I return for another lovely excursion to Taste. Try it…

Food, Service, everything was great! Service was awesome, had Sheila was great! Went with my family had fun. Fresh food, staff that actually looks like they enjoy what they are doing! Keep it up, will be back soon!

I was disappointed in a lot of what we ordered.
Bang Bang shrimp were ok (appetizer)
Muscles were so/​so, but the broth was good
Bruschetta was awful. A soggy mess. Bread was not at all crisp.
Lobster roll was very good
Portabello mushroom burger was good
Yellow snapper tasted like paper
The staff were friendly and nice.
Our waitress was ADORABLE and did a great job.

I wandered in here for a business meeting during a casual weekday. I came a bit early and the waitress was somewhat rude when I asked if I could not place any orders until my client arrived. I’m pretty sure she watched my client walk in, but chose to ignore us for 5 minutes while helping the only other table. Not sure what the deal was. Otherwise, the food is excellent. Recommend the crab cakes and my client was pleased with the Gorgonzola salad — just watch out for the service at lunch hour.
