Such a value. Lunch special! We had vegetable rolls, shrimp, wraps for appetizers and kungpao chicken, noodle, steak for main. Couldn't eat them all. Grand interior never gets old. Serving very cordial as well. Next time, may come alone and eat at the bar.

Worth all of the hype— dishes, ambiance and service are all truly fantastic. Making a reservation is an absolute must. My date booked online for a late Saturday night and we were pretty much seated on time. The filet mignon with black garlic, shiitake butter and sun chokes was divine. The spicy tuna on crispy rice was extravagant. Many other tables enjoyed that as a shared plate as well. My date loved the traditional orange chicken and we shared an order of vegetable fried rice. Highly recommend for an evening of contemporary flair and upscale dining.

Ruby Tuesday's quality with the audacity to charge Ruth's Chris prices. These prices are absurd for the quality of food. $9 for a side of rice as an example. The music is more fit for a club and played too loud.
That being said, the service was great.

We ordered two rounds of drinks and food from the lunch menu; however, throughout our visit, the bartender repeatedly asked if we planned to order anything else or if we were leaving. This occurred even though it was only ten minutes before happy hour. The constant questioning, along with her repeatedly checking her watch and asking nearby patrons if they were finished, created an uncomfortable and rushed atmosphere.
Overall, the service felt inattentive and discourteous, which detracted from what should have been an enjoyable first visit.
Overall the bar tender Anglo came and save the day .

Insultingly expensive food for what it is. Lacking flavor and finesse. The service and interior are fine but mismatched with the poor quality food. Like a certain nationwide chain except 3x the price.

Usually a great place for a special event- but, this time we were a little (ok, a lot) let down. The food and our server were equally fantastic. The major disappointment, being that I reserved this far enough in advance and letting them know it was my daughter's 21st birthday, was that our table was one of the shared booth's along the wall with no privacy and right next to the server's station- literally. Halfway through our meal, the table next to us was divided into tables for two, pushing one even closer to us. For what we were celebrating and what I spent on this meal (over $100 each), I would have expected much better.
We visited the one downtown earlier this year for the second time and it was a much better experience. I am not sure I would return to this one for our next visit since it feels like the host staff gave little thought to what to us (and most people) is a monumental celebration. Luckily, we had a fantastic server (Isabella) who was very kind and made excellent recommendations ... and, again, the food was wonderful.
To top off the night, unfortunately due to our location, the birthday dessert with candles was delivered to the wait station clearly visible to my daughter- so there was no surprise!
Incredible food (5 stars) and fantastic server (5 stars). Incredibly disappointing seating (1 star) for an important celebration ultimately making it just a good night, not a great night. My advice? Be sure to ask for a nicer table when visiting for something special and make sure it is not the shared booth space. We would have waited longer had we known. We can't get a do-over on a birthday dinner like this, but I really wish we could.
***Side note: The waiting area is far too small to accommodate so many people so you end up fighting your way through just to find some place to hopefully sit, but at the very least, just to get out of the way. Luckily our wait was under 10 minutes once we all checked in. They will not seat you unless everyone is there. I arrived early hoping to get to a table and order appetizers for all of us - which (somewhat) understandably they would not allow.
Terrible service. Reservation was for 930 for my mother‘s birthday waited over an hour and a half with a three-year-old.

We had a wonderful experience at Tao. Definitely a 10 out of 10 place. The ambience was great, food was to die for, and the service was superb. We'll definitely be dining there again.
Old but still contemporary.
