TAO

Had a pretty good first time experience at TAO with my coworker. We didn’t have a reservation, but thankfully we found immediate seating in the lounge area. Our waiter was very nice and attentive despite how busy it is the day after Valentine’s Day. Our food was very good! We had the shishito peppers 7/10, surf and turf specialty roll 9/10, ebi with caviar on top 8/10. The atmosphere was very chill, but be prepared that it is very dim. The music selection was fire and you were able to still talk to your table. Would go back, especially for happy hour.

Such an aesthetic restaurant — I absolutely loved how beautiful and inviting it is inside. Definitely a great spot for date night! I came here for a company event, and they accommodated our group perfectly. We had a party of almost 18 people, which isn’t small by any means, but the staff was incredibly kind and welcoming, making us feel at home from the moment we walked in. We ordered a ton of food to share around the table. There was honestly so much that I couldn’t even name everything! What I really appreciated was how they didn’t bring everything out all at once. The dishes came out little by little, which allowed us to truly savor each plate while enjoying great conversation and laughs. I’m not a sushi girl at all, but that wasn’t an issue since they have plenty of other options. I

Architecture and decor is cool, but that's about it. Ask for a tour and don't bother eating here. Had a reservation for a group of 5 to celebrate a birthday. Our reservation time at 7:15 and we came 10 mins early. It seemed like they had our table ready and as they were able to seat us, they decided to give our table to someone else and we ended up having to wait 20+ minutes for a table. Then. There was major confusion because we were waiting in the bar/lounge area and they sat us before our bar drinks were brought out to us. They sat us at a table meant for 8 - which meant our table of 5 was so spaced out and the room was so loud, we couldn't talk to anyone across the table. It was such a vibe killer. They were playing "oldies" from ~2010; it felt so outdated. The food was overpriced for

3 of us went for Christmas dinner and I was extremely happy with the entire experience. The restaurant is lively and beautiful. It isn’t your typical establishment with bright lights and a quiet environment. Music is playing, but even with my hearing issues, I didn’t find it overly loud. Our server was incredible from start to finish. He provided perfect recommendations and explanations of the menu. He was meticulous in ensuring that food allergies were attended to, confirming each order with the kitchen. The food was great, both in presentation and taste. We ordered the snapper, pork fried rice, cashew chicken, lobster wontons, salad, veggie dumplings, tofu, and bok choy. All the dishes were enjoyed and the only reason for leftovers was that the serving sizes are quite large!! W

As a last minute escapade, we went to Tao. We walked in about 6:30pm on a Sat. night with no reservations. We were lucky to snag seats at the bar. We order Lobster Fried Rice, Charred Brussels Sprouts, Chicken Satay, Crispy Lobster Roll, and the Wagu Steak Roll. Every thing we ordered was Delicious! If it wasn't just the two of us we would have ordered even more food. Besides the great food, they have a nice cocktail list. My wife had the Lychee Martini and I had sparkling water. The bartenders are great. The atmosphere is a true hot spot. People were falling in all night. One thing for sure, whoever designed the location... They didn't hold back... The decor is absolutely off the charts.
