    I have a gluten allergy and the waitress had no idea what I could have. She made me pick what I wanted to eat and then she asked the chef. Well nothing I picked I could eat. She came back with a list of 5 things I could have. Wish she did that in the first place.

    Fantastic space with impeccable service by Imani and Damonte (sp). Varied menu with a top notch sake selection. There were three in our party and we were able to reserve the staircase seating for a fee — absolutely worth it. We were not in the least rushed and enjoyed an experience not soon forgotten.

    Absolutely the most well rounded restaurant I’ve been to. The ambience, the service, and food was spectacular. It’s hard for me to leave a good review when you’ve been to so many restaurants, but Tao was exceptional. I went there for my wife’s birthday, and our server Corey and servers assistants had the best attitude I’ve seen in the food service industry. The food was full of depth, and every thing we ordered stood out. Over all great experiences and will go again.

    We had to wait over an hour for our food and I felt rushed. I went to celebrate my birthday. Yes the manager comped a considerable amount of the bill, but I was late to other plans and the manager never came over to address there mistakes. The compensation was great but my party was never concerned about the bill. It just would’ve went a long way if he or she made the time to come over and apologize in person.

    Food was good atmosphere was great up until I was humiliated with a huge birthday fortune cookie extravagant desert plate thing forced on my table then taken away saying it was the wrong birthday table. Even after I said I didn’t pay for that. Never again! Funny but embarrassing. I have the video of it ALLLLL👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾
