This restaurant is an absolute gem. Their food portions and quality is just perfect. Service and ambience couldn’t be better. I am just in awe that we have such high quality restaurant in a small town of St James/Rolla. We tried the Vegan Risotto, Ricotta toast, Duck wings, chocolate torte, and they were all perfect. They claim everything is locally sourced and made from scratch, and I wouldn’t doubt it at all. Absolute quality.

I’ve been going to Just A Taste since it opened in 2015, which is the same time my husband and I got together. We went on our first real “fancy” date here, and I’ve been hooked ever since. They treat everyone that enters the door like family. The farm to table food is second to none, and I find it hard to eat out anywhere else because my stomach just feel a GOOD when I eat here. There’s a meal selection for most dietary needs. The staff is always so knowledgeable and welcoming. The thing I love most about the cocktails is they aren’t your typical bar drinks, they’re all craft. Amazingly made. I could go on, but 20/10 stars, friends. Get a club membership! It’ll change your life.

The menu is not huge, however there are nightly specials. The duck wings are a must try as well as the warm olives. The bolognese was amazing! Great service too. As you can tell from the photos we dug in immediately. My daughter had the vegan risotto and was very pleased with the dish.

We stopped by on a Friday evening. All members of the staff were courteous and knowledgeable. The facility was clean and tidy. The food was absolutely devine! I asked for a wine to compliment my meal I was given two choices based on my preferences, the one I went with was perfect. It balanced out my meal nicely. I highly recommend Just A Taste and I will definitely be back.

A hidden gem nestled in downtown St. James MO. The menu and bar items make it clear that elevated dinning and drinking are the goal in a quaint and comfortable environment while not getting to full of themselves. The bread board app included an olive oil and balsamic dipping sauce that while very tasty could have used a little “ something “ to make its flavor stand up to its appearance. I will say that my taste in olive oils runs pretty rich, the selection here had an excellent feel but was a little less fruity than I prefer. Maybe some roasted garlic?

My selection was a wonderful mussels and smoked tomato special that also came with ficcocia bread. ( I would comment that they overdid the ficcocia….. if it weren’t so dang good) the broth was amazing the balance of the smoked tomatoes and the subtle flavor of the mussels sang with just enough acid. I ate every drop I highly recommend.

My wife had the meatballs and ficcocia from the menu, boldly written on the wall across the room.
As a standard item it looked like a value for only $8. The four meatballs where served roasted in a small stainless pan with several large strips of grilled ficcocia bread on the side. the rich and meaty sauce and bread set the stage for the meatballs that in our case were a bit overcooked
This gave them a dryer texture. The meatballs Could stand a little seasoning to compete with a very flavorful plate. Overall the sauce was the star and the meatballs the understudy.

Definitely a step up from the everyday, Just a taste did not disappoint even with a few caveats.
If your looking to break away from boring franchise food look no farther.
