We visit this Tao every time we go to Mohegan sun and we love it! Food and service always top notch. Food comes out super fast though , great if you want to get backed to gambling. That being said our waitress was wonderful last night and I can’t remember her name …meal was so perfectly paced as we were NOT looking to get backed to gambling we were looking for a break from gambling. Love this place and its vibe

Best dinner I have had in a long time. I highly recommend Jordan as a server if you get a chance. Every part of the meal was delicious, from the French Onion Soup, to the bone in Ribeye to the cheesecake for dessert. Stoli Doli's were great. Maybe too great.

Great place for pre-show lunch. The menu was not overwhelming but had nice variety, including daily specials. Our friendly waiter asked if we were going to a show and made sure we were out in time. No doubt I would return.

Food was delicious and while pricey, completely worth it. Ash, our server, was phenomenally attentive without being disruptive. We were allowed to take our time, order in waves, and enjoy the view of the waterfall. Cocktails were divine and well-made, and the entrees were generous without being ridiculous. The restaurant catered to our dietary needs without batting an eye, and not one bite was left to carry away.
