    A wonderful treat for a special occasion. We spent our 28th Valentine's Day together, dining on peking duck, carved table side, and a succulent branzino. Also not to be missed: The vegetable spring rolls, the hot-and-sour soup and the beignet doughnuts with Nutella drizzle. An all-around fabulous experience.

    Had a lovely first experience at TAO. They have a beautiful lounge you can wait in and get drinks. The ambiance of the restaurant is dim, intimate, and elegant. Drinks were delicious and good size for price. My partner and I got a special that included an appetizer, entree, and dessert. Both price and portions were very reasonable. The food was excellent. Service was very quick. Our waiter would only look at and communicate to my boyfriend, which was a bit odd. However, he was kind and helpful. Will definitely come back.

    I came with a friend to grab some quick dinner. The food was fresh, my Peach Fizz was a cute drink but it wasn’t too strong. I wish it had been stronger but it could be my preference. Overall a nice place :)
