The restaurant, "Taste," for 550NT ($18us) offered us set menu choices of an appetizer, soup, salad, entree, drink and dessert. The American beef we each ordered was delicious though not a very large portion; 8oz. The worst part was the toasted white bread they masqueraded as garlic bread and bread sticks. The creme brule had a little too much emulsifier but the coffee was good. Leona had a nice romaine salad with the crust of that same white bread masquerading as croutons. I had a dish of upside-down cup potato salad with one little shrimp on top. The shallow plate of mushroom in cream sauce they brought tasted like undiluted Campbell's Cream of Mushroom soup. The service was too fast and we asked the waiter to slow down; the waitress asked for our order the moment we sat down; Leona asked for five minutes to decide. But they paid attention to our request and held up the beef until we finished the appetizer. The waiter seemed to denigrate my order of wine marinated beef saying it didn't taste like beef, if beef was what we wanted to taste, and the medium rare we wanted would make it chewy. I decided to change my order. For the price, the food was great and we would go there again. Leona filled out a review and gave it in. I had to tell Leona to explain that our waiters had paid attention to our request to slow down as she had not written so; they could have gotten fired or reprimanded instead of praised.The manager had sent her an e-mail when we got home thanking her for her comment and saying they would improve service.
