    Our Mission Statement

    We, at A Matter of Taste, are committed to providing a dining experience that nourishes the body, mind, and soul. We believe that the food we eat and the wine we drink should complement each other and enhance the overall dining experience. Our mission is to create a warm and welcoming community where people can come together to share in the simple pleasures of life, including good food, good wine, and good company.

    We are dedicated to using only the freshest, seasonal ingredients and preparing our dishes in a way that highlights their natural flavors. Our pesto, sauces, dressings, pasta, and bread are made in-house, without any artificial additives or preservatives. We also take great care in selecting our wine offerings, with a focus on organic, biodynamic, and vegan options that reflect our commitment to sustainability and the environment.

    But our mission extends beyond the food and wine we serve. We believe in the power of human connection and the value of spending time with loved ones. A Matter of Taste is a place where people can come together to share a meal, raise a glass, and connect with one another on a deeper level. We strive to create an environment that is welcoming, inclusive, and fosters a sense of community among our guests.

    We believe that spending time with loved ones solely for the sake of deep human connection is an extraordinary value. We invite everyone who walks through our doors to become a part of our family and to share in the joy of food, wine, and meaningful connections.

    Our ultimate mission is to provide a dining experience that is not only delicious and nourishing but also enriching and fulfilling. We want our guests to leave feeling satisfied, not only in their appetite but also in their hearts and souls.
