Hands down the best restaurant in Ithaca.incredible service, atmosphere, and most importantly food. You must try their potato wedges with chipotle aioli and their filet. Of course, the chocolate dessert is a must-order. My family and I can't wait until it reopens.

Fantastic food.we've frequented just a taste for over 10 years. Relatively unknown, modest venue that's all about the food and wine. Wish you would open soon.we've missed you. Cod croquettes, foxacci/garlic, shrimp in sheer, molten chocolate caje.

Excellent food. Lovely decor and ambience. Wasn't the crowd of people I was expecting. But again food and atmosphere great.

Nice local spot for Spanish-inspired tapas. Didn't love sitting in the cold on the sidewalk, but service was great though.

Nice local spot for Spanish-inspired tapas. Didn't love sitting in the cold on the sidewalk, but service was great, prices were reasonable, and the food was excellent.

Dining-in or outdoor seating are currently not available at Just A Taste but curbside pick-up via online is. The street was closed and parking was really bad around the area.

We tried their Braised Duck Leg, Bourbon Banana Breadpudding and Shortrib Entree with reasonable price $50 (+tax and tip). We assigned pick up at a specific time and the service was helpful by sending a reminding text.

The food was amazingly tasty especially the Bourbon Banana Breadpudding which was soft, creamy and melted in our mouth immediately. The duck leg was also flavorful and tender with appetizing onion & olive.

However, the portion of Shortrib Entree was small and not enough for my husband. The order didn't come with plastic utensils and napkins which was eco friendly but they should've let customers know in advance.

Stepping in feels like a warm hug and a welcome home. Roasted garlic, salted focaccia, and braised greens if you know whats good for ya.

Get there early or be ready to wait. We just had a few small plates but was not overly impressed with all of them. If I was to walk pass and they had a table I may try them again but definitely wouldn’t wait to get in there.

Both chocolate lava and deep fried potato wedges with chipotle sauce were superb! The service is also pleasant. Be prepared to wait to be seated if you come here during dinner time though.

You can't get a better meal in Ithaca! You savor each bite so the sizes are always more than enough! Can't wait to go back again soon!

Just a Taste has long been my favorite restaurant in town. Some dishes are always on the menu, some rotate in and out, occasionally one is just ok, but generally the food is great. The wait staff is outstanding - they're very cool. The wine selection is large and quite good, the patio is pleasant, and it's chill. Go eat there.

Went with friends who knew the menu so they ordered, would definitely ask for recommendations from the waiter if you’re knew to it! Food is always amazing, and flavorful, although it’s a bit pricey it’s worth it to split with friends and share dishes- each one is packed with so much flavor it’s truly the tapas experience It’s a bit packed but the patios open during the summer and I’d recommended making a reservation if you have more than 3 people otherwise the wait can be long. The bread pudding and coconut ice cream was a spiritual experience would def recommend to everyone!

Expensive but good food. Love sharing food and this is a great way to get intimate to do that. Love the concept of wine flights

Omg.cant say enough good things about this place. The food options were amazing. My husband and I are vegetarians and there was plenty for us to eat. Buzy place and I can see why. Drinks were good as well as all the food. Party of 6 in my group and not one of us had a complaint. Cant wait to go back.
