First I'll review the restaurant: Booo. 1 star only. The food was bland and extremely overpriced for white rice and veggies mixed in with soy sauce. Yuck. I can't imagine how anyone would like their food.
The first time I went to TAO was back in 2008, and I was freshly 21. I remember first going to TAO beach and climbing a butt load of stairs to get to the roof. I also remember the crowd being pretty easy and letting me nudge my way through to the bar and getting my orders in before other people who were obviously waiting forever. Oops, sorry.
TAO itself was lots of fun until I got myself and my group kicked out for being too rowdy. Lol.
Fast forward to the last time I went to TAO. Maybe it was a bad night, but the crowd wasn't fun and I wasn't feeling the music too much. It was so crowded that I was pushed up against people on all sides, and I was literally swept up by the crowd and moved about 3 feet over. Hahaha.
I'd go again, since it's always free for ladies anyway.
