"Closure hit hard, team was doing something really unique and important." - Erika Adams
"Tasting Counter, a modern Somerville spot that sells tickets, is best known for its dinner tasting menu, a nine-course feast that costs $325 per person. Those looking for a slightly more affordable option should buy a ticket for the three-course lunch instead. At $110, it’s not the cheapest mid-day bite in the city, but dines can still experience a smaller version of the restaurant’s celebrated tasting menu. Lunch tickets are available for Thursday, Friday, and Saturday." - Samantha Maxwell, Eater Staff
"Acclaimed Somerville fine-dining destination Tasting Counter (14 Tyler St.) has ended its wine bar services as of February 15 to make way for the addition of more standard lunch and dinner services. The wine bar hours were a way to get a taste of Tasting Counter in a more affordable, a la carte way." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
"my wife and I finally experienced Tasting Counter, which not only lived up to but exceeded its reputation." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
"A meal at Tasting Counter in Somerville is one of the Boston area’s most splurge-worthy fine-dining endeavors, many courses of beautifully plated food emphasizing high-end techniques and local, seasonal ingredients." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
