My update from 05/28/2008
By Thmpsndawn469 on 04/03/2009
To many people read reviews and went, wrecked it? They got it together again! Where to go for a business dinner? Oh, I know! Being the Sex in the City fan that I am, a must try is certainly Tao. Upon arriving, my co-worker and I sat in the bar area while waiting for our guest. The drinks were fabulous. One question though. Why must martini's be made all the way to the very top of the glass? Spillage is inevitable. I want to enjoy my drink, not wear it (hint hint to all you bartenders out there). Once our guest arrived, we were brought to our table upstairs. The view was wonderful. The giant buddha, along with the ability to people watch on the lower level crowd made this a perfect table. The food was fantastic, albeit overpriced, but definitely fantastic. I did not try the sushi, but heard it was delicious. We all ordered desert as well, to see what type of creations would be brought. My co-worker ordered the gigantasized fortune cookie. It was fabulous! Even the fortunes come in super size. I ordered the banana pudding. It was deeeeeelicious. Wow. Big fan of this restaurant, though it's definitely a go once in a while kind of place due to the price tag. A must try for splurging!

Our night started in style....We walked in at 10:30 pm on a Friday night and Mario Lopez and Jeramy Pivens were walking out. We got seated about 25 min after we arrived. The food and drinks were awesome!!! We had Lobster,Steak, and Peking Duck sooooo Good!!! The setting couldn't have been better. Great Music and beautiful people. I LOVE THIS PLACE!!!
