Taste on Melrose

We enjoyed our lunch at this popular spot We were a little late for lunch which meant we easily got a table, peak times I suggest you reserve ahead. The food was tasty and mostly good value but some more so than others - $14 for a toasted cheese sandwich with fries is expensive. The service was perky, if somewhat overworked as it took some time to attract attention and our cheque but overall we enjoyed our visit and will return when next in town

Taste On Melrose is one of LA's hippest brunch spots. Ultra chic Hollywood hopefuls alongside of handcrafted cocktails with a Kobe burger make this place popping. Yet, the sweet tasting crispy bacon inside a viscous side of macaroni and cheese still isn't enough to cover up some of the front of house issues. With no reservations, expect to wait up to an hour or so. Once seated, our beverages and appetizers still didn't make it to our table until another hour. Don't fret because management is cognizant of their spotty service and will amend your bill to make up for any misadventures. Still, this Parisian-style sidewalk dining experience is still worthy of your patronage, especially if you have a flair for fashion and enjoy people watching.

We had to wait for almost 30 minutes to get in even we had reservation. But it was Sunday afternoon. The internal space looks much bigger than it look from front side. The food choice are variety. But for my order of Kobe meatballs pasta. Well, not as good as I expected, but the amount was more than enough. They have valet parking, so not to worry about driving here. And you can have a stroll in this area after your meal.

Their Mac and cheese was delicious. I would come back just for that. I was pretty disappointed with their burgers though. We got the impossible burger and the Kobe burger. The impossible burger's bun was rock hard and dry, I could barely chew it. They were really nice about changing it for me though, I got their regular bun to replace the rock. My boyfriend said the Kobe burger wasn't anything special and wouldn't order it again. Maybe this place just isn't good at burgers, I'd say stick to something else if you come here. Other than the burgers, everything else was great. The ambiance was pleasant, the service was very good, and price was fair. Don't forget to order the Mac and cheese!

Super cute patio! The salmon in the tacos was cooked beautifully and the cauliflower appetizer was delicious! The service was also pretty good and the prices were reasonable :) the dessert wasn’t the best but still yummy! We went for brunch and it was a lovely time

I enjoyed my time at Taste on Melrose, with it's traditional take on New American. Service was good and the atmosphere was pleasant. The avocado toast, macaroni & cheese, and the blackened salmon tacos I had were all fresh, high quality, organic, and tasty. Very well presented! My absolute favorite was the cocktail I had with St. Germain called the Menage á Trois, simply excellent! Hats off to the bartender.

This place definitely was way better than I thought. The food here was amazing. The place it's a bit tight seating and only real parking option is valet. The staff was also quite friendly. The French toast is a must try. Also avacado sandwich was amazing.

Very busy for Sunday bunch. Great atmosphere, tables are a little too closely packed together. Food was good. Service was poor, took the order quickly but then seemed to disappear. I had the soup to start but didn't get a spoon, after trying to get the attention of the waiter for 10 mins someone eventually came along and brought one. There seemed to be plenty of staff around but strangely all seemed to avoid any eye contact with customers
