    TAO is always an amazing experience. My first time was 15 years ago but still very good and always crowded. Nice food and music. It is an eclectic place with different people.

    Great food, service and ambience  In a world where it can be easy to overlook both the quality of food and service, TAO excels in both areas, making it a top choice for anyone looking for a great meal with an unforgettable experience. I’ll certainly be returning soon!

    Our waiter was amazing. My daughter loves the banana pudding and you made her birthday so special by providing one to her. It’s her favorite restaurant and you never disappoint. Thanks again. We will be back soon.

    Still a solid place for dinner, but the amount of IG photo shoots happening while you’re trying to enjoy your meal is a bit annoying and definitely takes away from the experience.

    My first time coming and the waiter didn’t explain the menu. Felt like I wasted a meal when I could have gotten something different. Also, couldn’t ever get the waiters attention when trying to ask for stuff such as utensils or a drink.
