My update from 05/28/2008
Thmpsndawn469 - 04/03/2009To many people read reviews and went, wrecked it?
They got it together again!
Where to go for a business dinner? Oh, I know! Being the Sex in the City fan that I am, a must try is certainly Tao. Upon arriving, my co-worker and I sat in the bar area while waiting for our guest. The drinks were fabulous. One question though. Why must martini's be made all the way to the very top of the glass? Spillage is inevitable. I want to enjoy my drink, not wear it (hint hint to all you bartenders out there).
Once our guest arrived, we were brought to our table upstairs. The view was wonderful. The giant buddha, along with the ability to people watch on the lower level crowd made this a perfect table.
The food was fantastic, albeit overpriced, but definitely fantastic. I did not try the sushi, but heard it was delicious. We all ordered desert as well, to see what type of creations would be brought. My co-worker ordered the gigantasized fortune cookie. It was fabulous! Even the fortunes come in super size. I ordered the banana pudding. It was deeeeeelicious. Wow.
Big fan of this restaurant, though it's definitely a go once in a while kind of place due to the price tag. A must try for splurging!Comments(0)|Add CommentGREAT EXPERIENCE!!!!!

Pricilarchie - 08/26/2008Tao is my favorite place for drinks, dinner and meet people from all over the world! I feel like one of the girls fron SATC when I go there.
It is worth every penny!
SueRoT - 06/11/2008Terrible, arrogant, service
raphaelmeh - 12/27/2006Made reservations three days in advance for 10:15PM.
Arrived at 9:45 and was still waiting at 10:45.
This happens in busy restaurants but the lady who claimed to be the Maitre'd was the most arrogant, unpleasant and confrontational person I have encountered in a service oriented business.
After much argument, we decided a dinner is not worth the aggrevation.
