It's fairly rare that I'll kick out a 5 star review. In my opinion, a restaurant has to meet or exceed on ALL expectations in order to achieve a five star rating. That said, Tao Las Vegas achieves exactly this.
I have eaten here many times at this point but this particular review is for dinner last Saturday. I was in town with friends for a birthday celebration. There were 5 of them and none of them had ever gone to Tao. So, I wanted to share the love and expose them to the joy of Tao cuisine.
Our reservation was for 6:30PM. We arrived 10 minutes early and were seated promptly. We quietly pulled the server aside and let him know that it was a birthday dinner and he promised to take care of it.
During dinner, we ordered everything from the steak (amazing!) to the TAO Angry Dragon roll (highly recommended). Some items that I recommend, in no particular order:
TAO Angry Dragon Roll - Delicious
Satay of Chilean Sea Bass w/ Wok Roasted Asparagus - no trip to Tao is completely without this
Lobster Wontons - a good secondary choice - if you have room add this
One thing I should point out - if you're feeling like steak, don't shy away from TAO's offerings. They were FANTASTIC! And very uniquely seasoned.
In fact I want one right now.
Last but not least - the restaurant delighted us by bringing us a huge fortune cookie for my friend's birthday, filled with chocolate mousse and white chocolate mousse.
FYI the chocolate mousse was the best that I've ever tasted!
And finally - they ended the night by serving us delicious coffee.
Thank you Tao. I love you. And I'll be back to see you again really really soon.
