| - Tao is the best EVER. Having eaten at their downtown location in Manhattan, I was ecstatic to see that Vegas had a location as well. I had an incredible, delicious, mouth watering meal here, but who would really expect any less from Tao!?
My writing cannot possibly do the ambiance of this place justice. The vibe is dimly lit, serene, meditative, Buddhist style meets sexy, bold, modernism. The decor is absolutely incredible, and we loved overlooking the GIANT Buddha statue sitting on top of the coy fish pond. I could not get enough of how sexy and awe inspiring the decor was, hard to believe it is located within a resort. So, so, soooooo beautiful! Everything is trendy and Asian inspired.
The outstanding service goes beyond words. Every staff member from waiter, to hostess, to bus boy was beyond friendly, high energy, had big personality, helpful, and professional. Whoever trains the staff here needs to give lessons to every dining establishment in the country.Tao does it right. The ambiance and price makes you feel like you're somewhere exclusive, but the service lets you know without a doubt that your service is appreciated. Bravo, bravo, bravo. Cannot say enough.
Now...the reason there's a collective pile of saliva under me....the food. We can never decide what to order at Tao, so we close our menus and make our waiter order for us, and they are always spot on. Ordered the lobster dumplings as an appetizer. SO flavorful, large dumplings with a delicious, full bodied sauce with mushrooms amazing. I couldn't even finish my share. For a meal we split the Peking duck for two. The closest I've ever had to an out of body experience. Holy _____. The crispiest, best, most tender, most juicy, most PERFECT DUCK I HAVE EVER HAD. We tried a new rice with Chinese sausage and a fried egg on top whipped together right at the table for you...amazing. Despite the full term food baby inside my stomach, and the hatred I had for myself for eating so much, I forged on and demanded that we try the fried bread pudding with vanilla ice cream, chocolate sticks, and bananas foster sauce...biggest smile ever. Servers gave us awesome suggestions on things to do after dinner, but guess what I did? NAP! :)
I am so impressed with Tao and this location lived up to every expectation I had. My favorite restaurant ever!
**MAKE A RESERVATION!! WE MADE OURS A MONTH IN ADVANCE AND GOT THE BEST TABLE EVER, OVERLOOKING THE 1ST FLOOR AND RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE COY POND**
