We chose Taste based upon their reasonable appetizer menu. For a bottle of wine, 3 appetizers, and service it was under $70. The fries were more like potato chip strips, as they were super thin, but long like a fry. The crabcakes were better than most of the ones we've tried at some of LA's best seafood restaurants, seared crispy but not burnt on the two faces, the center was all crab (not googey or crumbling apart - perfect consistency), and zesty with red pepper. Two are served on a mini bed of arugula with a healthy dallop of sauce. The grilled artichoke could have been zestier (garlic?) or carmelized on the grill longer, but it was still cooked fine and fun to eat. Our server was attentive, we'll definitely be back.
Pros: street parking after 7
Cons: outdoor noise on patio
