by Nena Metevia on Tao really is amazing. The food here is totally top notch... but very expensive. Expect to wait a bit for a table and if you drink $$$ at the bar. It's definitely worth the wait. We started off with shishito peppers, edamame, and some spicy tuna on crispy rice. They nailed all three bigtime! My entrees was the seared ahi tuna... if I didn't know better it was like the best filet mignon you ever had. Came with sauteed Chinese broccoli and we all split an order of vege pad Thai. Very good. Bar tab...$138, dinner $240+, walking back from Tao to Marriott marquis full and satisfied... priceless!
by Yolande Mitchiner on I ate here with a couple of my girlfriends right before the new year's eve, and we had such a great time. We ordered a bottle of Riesling (can't remember which one it was) and it was probably the best Riesling I've ever had! And the tapas we ordered were fantastic! We had hamachi sashimi with pickeld strawberries (so fresh!), lobster salad, beef shabu shabu with foie grais, tataki of American wagyu skirt (it was so tender), and jidori chicken. Every single item was delicious. We also ordered Nutella custard and apple crisp for dessert. The desserts weren't as fantastic as the other dishes we had that night. Loved the ambiance, service, and food!
