Sinclair’s Casual American Dining The well-known Sinclair’s name conjures up thoughts of a friendly bistro with a moderately priced yet delicious menu. In November 1996, Sinclair’s East opened with its predecessor’s same warm, enjoyable atmosphere and great food. Diners choose from soups, large crisp salads, fresh seafood specials, heaping pasta dishes and juicy steaks. Visitors should ab- solutely try the famous House She-Crab Soup — regulars know to ask for it! Delicious food and an easy going atmosphere has made Sinclair’s into one of Montgomery’s top hot spots for Casual American Din- ing. Whether dressed down or dressed up, everyone has a good time enjoying great food and spirits. Johnny Sul- livan has been in the restau- rant business for 40 years and what he enjoys most are the people. They are worth everything – seeing them eating, enjoying themselves is very satisfying. Sinclair’s East is located at 7847 Vaughn Road. They are open Sunday thru Thursday from 11:00 a.m. until 10:00 p.m.; Friday and Saturday from 11:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m.; and Sunday Brunch is from 11:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Taste , a new wine and tapas bar in Hampstead on Montgomery’s East Side, has quickly become a popular night-time hang out for anyone in search of great wine and a good time. Owners Clint and Ginger Hahn have taken their passion for wine and food and channeled it into one of the most unique bars in the city. Their menu changes season- ally, ensuring new and fresh selections all year round. Local fa- vorite of the moment includes Beef Short Rib Pasta and Ginger’s Shrimp and Grits. The food is no doubt delicious, and Taste’s wine list features over 75 wines ranging from sweet and sparkly whites to rich, full- bodied reds. Additionally, Taste offers a large selec- tion of craft beer & a full bar. The real joie de vivre setting Taste apart from every other restaurant and bar in Montgomery is their “flight menu.” This menu offers an array of specialized wine samplings like “Latin Loves” and “Rockin Reds.” This lively spot also has live entertainment from local musicians on Saturdays. Whether you’re a foodie, a wine connoisseur or just looking for a great night out, Taste is not to be missed.
