    We ordered filet mignon and salmon. Both were made to perfection. The steak was one of the most tender we’ve had in our dining experience. Our server was very friendly and we enjoyed chatting with her over the course of our dinner. I would highly recommend eating here for a delicious, quiet, relaxing dinner. So glad we went!

    Staff, food, ambiance… everything was perfect. We were lucky enough to get 2 seats at the counter overlooking the kitchen. The ballet was spectacular with all those chefs working together. We had an early reservation and when we left, we could see that it was a trendy place as lot of young preppy looking were coming in. I highly recommend 🥰

    Celebrating a birthday at The TAO was an epic experience. We didn’t need to hit a club to enjoy great hip-hop music, and we could still hear each other talk comfortably. The appetizers were so satisfying they could have been a meal on their own, making the main course feel like a plus. It’s definitely a fantastic spot for a date ⚡️

    What a gem! Asador Bastian totally knocked it out of the park. Our server, Yousef ( potentially spelling his name wrong), was fantastic - super friendly and really knew his stuff. His recommendations were perfect for our dinner. We started with their Tortilla Española, which was a great way to kick things off - light but packed with flavor. The arroz cremoso that came next was incredible - the flavors were spot on. But the real showstopper was the Akaushi beef, cooked exactly how we wanted it, paired with these amazing bone marrow potato purée that I'm still thinking about. We wrapped up with a delicious cheesecake that hit all the right notes. The whole experience, from walking in to walking out, was just perfect. Can't wait to come back and try more dishes! If you're thinking about going - just do it. You won't regret it!
