"We live in Monterey, and we always have a wonderful time dining here. The owners and their children are present, actively serving tables, and the head chef is also one of the owners. It's clear how much care they put into ensuring that each meal is delicious. I typically order their special, no matter what it is, while my husband is a fan of their rabbit dish. We always sample each other's entrees and start with an appetizer to share. They've been in business for many years, and it's evident that they have many loyal customers who genuinely appreciate them, have watched their family grow, and admire their dedication and pride in ownership. We certainly do!"

I've dined all over the Santa Cruz to Monterey area, and my family agrees that our meal at Taste Cafe Bistro was the best. The service was outstanding, and each dish was cooked to perfection. To top it all off, the Bread Pudding was the best I've ever had, and I tend to order it whenever it's on the menu!

Rude server. Didn’t greet us at the door a chef literally had to seat. Then took forever to take our order even though it wasn’t busy. Then when we asked if a certain part of a dish could be substituted she rudely said there is nothing possible. Unreal probably just a racist. They also chased us down to pay when we did so through their app. Not even an apology never coming again. Service: Dine in

My wife had the Spinach Cheese Ravioli which she loved, but I want to talk about what I had because it was divine. Called Fresh Pacific Salmon Filet it 's served on a bed of spinach, tomatoes, mushrooms, Kalamata olives, zucchini, artichokes, baked in parchment paper and served with a fantastic basil beurre blanc. I want to call it something more appropriate so I shall hereafter refer to it as Salmon Beurre Blanc by Bill . Bon Appetit Food: 5
