Taste

Taste Review

An unexpected find on the dusty streets of tiny Plymouth, Taste serves eclectic modern cuisine centered around fresh, local produce. The choices range from phyllo-wrapped mushroom "cigars" to pan-seared scallops served with golden-beet risotto, kumquat, mint, fennel, and orange butter. Toss in tahini-grilled cauliflower with red-wine braised carrots and turnip greens, and even the vegetarians leave happy. Gold Country wine making can be hit or miss, but with several sommeliers on staff, this is a terrific place to find out which producers are worth seeking out. There's also a great beer list.
