I came here for a friend's birthday expecting the worst, but was actually pleasantly surprised.
I didn't even know Tao had a restaurant until the night I ate here. The restaurant is huge and surprisingly busy for dinner. The service was impeccable, with knowledgable and attentive servers. The food is expensive, but you're in the wrong city if that is a deal breaker. I definitely recommend the Chilean sea bass, order it and everyone at the table will be stealing bites.
If you come here for dinner be sure to get your hand stamped so that you can get into Tao nightclub for free.
