"I've been to Taste 222 for lunch on three different occasions. Once, without a reservation and we ate at the bar. The other two times we were seated at tables in the small front dining space. It's been a delicious, solid lunch place every time. The menu is fairly small, but you don't need overkill when each item is so solid. I've had salads, soups, chicken sandwich, burger, the deviled eggs and several lovely drinks all were very good. In fact the only thing I can think that is weak (literally) is the ice tea. If you are a tea lover, then the watered down beverage will likely not fit your taste. No worries, they have a small but terrific wines by the glass. The thirsty will find something else. Taste 222 recently began running a small happy hour menu to accompany their bar. Haven't tried that yet but my server noted the food is a sampling of the most popular lunch items...so expect caper deviled eggs, sliders and a few other yummies."

I enjoyed a pleasant lunch here with a colleague. The shrimp and grits were excellent and surprisingly light.

Incredible food and service and a cute little cozy spot with great ambience. Our server was very knowledgeable and the bartender can pretty much cater to any need you have with drinks. Shrimp and grits and the lemon garlic chicken were so good.

As usual, I had a great dining experience at Taste 222. Atmosphere was great. Restaurant played oldies, which is always cool to hear. Food was outstanding. I had the Taste burger with French fries. I am a regular patron and I always tell everyone about this excellent restaurant.

As usual, I had a great dining experience yesterday at lunch. My lunch guest was a former colleague who now works across from Taste 222 and said he never been in the restaurant before. Hew was very glad he had lunch with me at this great place and will be coming more frequently. I am a regular and truly enjoy the food, staff and ambiance.

My boyfriend and I had a lovely first time! We got a bunch of shareables instead of main dishes because they all looked so good. We loved the cornbread and truffle fries. Our server also recommended to add the blackened chicken to our kale salad, which was amazingly seasoned. We never got our server’s name, but she was perfectly attentive and didn’t check in with us too excessively. Also, we loved all of the decor from the long wall sconces to the beautifully styled bookshelves. This restaurant is very charming and we will definitely be back to try more!
