Aside from the crowd (meaning it was very crowded) I really liked Tao. We were lucky to be able to bypass the massive line outside - I don't think I would have gone if I had to wait in line for 2 hours.
The club is dark and mysterious. I love the decor. Life-sized Buddhas and women in bathtubs... odd sentence, but they were there. I loved being on the balcony and looking down on the bar and the people.
Men who buy table service for the night are very generous when it comes to a group of women. I didn't spend a dime that night.
