Taste Bar

Small servings. Small space. Big flavors. You won't find a fruity cosmo or dirty martini on the menu. The finely crafted drinks at Taste by Niche aren't packed with loud ingredients; instead, they subtly and gently wrap flavors together.

Taste by Niche seats about 18 people, but it seems much smaller than that. The annex to the wildly acclaimed Niche restaurant in Benton Park has eight chairs at a refectory table in the front window, which holds a full party of eight if you happen to walk in that way but mingles your twosome with three others if that's the way the table fills up. Three more diners can be squashed against a wall, where a narrow shelf holds your food and drink and the only view of the action is via a mirror unless your neck can do a Linda Blair swivel.
