Had a great dinner two weekends ago at Taste at 2400 Allen St. at State in Uptown Dallas (not to be confused with State & Allen Lounge which shares an owner and an address with Taste). It's a great find and I can't wait to return. Menu can only be described as eclectic (some Spanish influences, some Asian, some Italian). We had the pork osso buco and tenderloin of beef over sweet potato canneloni. The tenderloin was a special, not on the regular menu, but must be frequently offered as its pictured on the Guidelive review (checked the review later, a few days after dining there).

IMHO the Guidelive review doesn't do the pork osso buco justice at all. It was excellent; the peanut sauce treatment was very mild (from the menu description I was worried it would overpower the pork; it didn't).

Ate outside on the patio which was nice (has heaters). Dining room inside is fairly small, contemporary decor. Decent selection of wines by the glass. Cheese board appetizer option looked intriguing but I passed. Most entrees ranged from about $19 to $26. While the menu is quite limited (I think there were fewer than 10 main courses listed), most of the choices sounded great.

Check it out if you're needing a nice dinner in Uptown. I think it's a great find.
