My family and I came here for a quick lunch after visiting my son in the hospital. I have been to…read morethe other Taste location in Greenbrier which we loved. This location however, for me, wasn't impressive. The restaurant itself was packed on a Tuesday during lunch which is understandable considering the area and time of day. It seemed people were quickly coming in and out so finding a table wasn't too rough. I tried the crabcake sandwich special they were offering. Although it looked appetizing, to me it lacked something. A different sauce, topping. I'm not sure. But I have had plenty of crabcakes previously. This just didn't stand out to be impressive to me. The soda offerings they have were okay from the fountain. I am unsure of the brand exactly but to me the sodas tasted very watered down. My mother tried the Lynnhaven and so did my nephew. Both complained that it was extremely dry and chewy. When they brought our sandwiches to our table, they forgot my nephews sandwich and ended up having to go back to track it down. I really enjoyed the other location and maybe will stick with that one since it isn't as busy.

Lovely people watching, yet it's not so loud that table conversation of challenging. You'll notice that this is quick-ish dining. It's not fast-casual, but you're not waiting 30 minutes for your food. Expect at least 10 minutes for appetizers to arrive. Our entrees were ready in about 20, and the place was near capacity. The great thing about the wait? It was well worth it. Piping hot food, served with that homemade flavor arrives on dishes that almost match. I chuckled at the mismatched bowls that hit our table. I felt like family before my first bite. Meatloaf! I can't make one, but I'll eat one that is well made. Dense, flavorful and portioned to take some with you. My bonus was that I got my wife's leftovers, too. It was delicious! It was even better when I warmed it for lunch the next day. Traditional sides, worthy of their own review, but I'll keep it brief. Get the mashed potatoes! Send a thanks when you're full.

The place inside is very cute and reminds me of a nice punk pop bar. The bar wraps around and there's some tables and a side table that we sat at to eat. I ordered one of their specialty coffees and it is quite the journey but I enjoyed it with the ginger beer and the coffee. My quiche was fluffy and delicious. It jiggled when I tapped it and the side salad tasted great with dill in it and it brightened up things. The combination of both was great. The crust on the quiche was nice as well. My spouse enjoyed their sandwich but didn't realize there was mustard so he ended up just using the chips to eat his egg and sausage. His egg was also fluffy. The patrons that came seemed friendly and you can tell who are locals since they greeted by name often. I love that this place is open. They also have local wine you can purchase. Next time we're back in town, we will visit again.

We waited on hold for about 10 minutes. Placed 2 half chicken orders, 1 with plantains and black beans with rice and the other with steamed vegetables and rice and beans. Total cost $39.00. We were told 15 minutes and it was ready when we arrived. we walked in and iv could immediately see what others were talking about. Dirty floor, tables, trash cans. Dead bugs. I Immediately regretted my decision. while waiting for the employee to finish her call. I looked at the food in the warming containers. Everything was dried out and looked old. Nothing was covered. Cashier was using the same gloves hands serve food, answer the phone and type in orders. The food was just okay. I liked the charcoal flavor of the chicken 7/10 but the rice was dry and hard, the beans were over cooked and flavorless, the veggies were mushy and lacked seasoning as well. The lack of cleanliness is a huge deal for me because if the front of the house is nasty, the back couldn't be any better. This place is a no for me.

We've given this place a few shots to turn our opinion around and the servers have never come across as rude per say but the food is never warm it is always cold, there could be you and literally 2 other groups in the diner and they'll still take 45 min to get your food. There's like an old people ball room in the back that I've seen full allot of the time, I think they use most of their focus on the old people in the back. I wish I could give at least 2 stars cause I haven't gotten the vibe that the workers are bad or rude people but with the service always taking insanely long and the food always and I mean Always cold I can't bring myself to lie and say they deserve anything more than 1 star.

Raina and her husband were absolute legends throughout the whole planning circus. They were patient, flexible, and somehow managed to make our half-formed ideas sound like genius event plans. If event-planning were a sport, they'd have a trophy case. The food? Delicious. The variety? Phenomenal. They accommodated every dietary restriction thrown at them (gluten-free, vegan, keto, "I only eat food that looks like it was prepared by a wizard") -- seriously impressive. No one went home hangry or disappointed. The Ghent itself is gorgeous -- cozy enough for a date night but spacious enough for 80 Perfect for date night, nights out with friends, or casual command socials where you want great food and zero drama.
