My only complaint about Tao is the incense or whatever it is that blasts you when you walk in the door. Once my lungs adjusted and I stopped feeling like I was about to have an asthma attack (note: I don't have asthma.. thats how much smokey smelly craziness in the air), the rest of the dining experience was lovely.
I tried both the chilean sea bass with miso glaze and the peppered filet with udon noodles. Both dishes were absolutely amazing. When I think of Asian food and beef, I think tough and overcooked. The filet was so tender and flavorful. Right after I ordered it, I was regretting my decision thinking that it was going to be mundane and that I should have gone for something more adventurous, but the dish had wonderful complex flavors that took it way beyond what you would think a beef and noodle dish would be. The sea bass was so flavorful. I have tried chilean sea bass many times before, and I have always been put off by the flavor. This was done right, the miso glaze was amazing.
Our drinks were great, our party of four all selected different cocktails so we could sample each others drinks. All of them were delicious. My favorite was the Tao Love Potion #9.
For desert we shared the giant fortune cookie filled with white chocolate and dark chocolate mouse with fresh fruit. Kind of cheesy, but it was really tasty and the fortunes were pretty funny.
Aside from food and drink, the restaurant decor is beautiful and the service was great, would definitely recommend this to anyone visiting Las Vegas.
