    I went at a quiet time and based on the social media type decor, there is a good chance that the noise level can be high. Fresh made food served at correct temp give this place high marks. Staff knowledgeable of menu and drinks. If you have allergies, call ahead. They will omit allergen but do not guarantee there won’t be cross contamination.

    Had a lovely first experience at TAO. They have a beautiful lounge you can wait in and get drinks. The ambiance of the restaurant is dim, intimate, and elegant. Drinks were delicious and good size for price. My partner and I got a special that included an appetizer, entree, and dessert. Both price and portions were very reasonable. The food was excellent. Service was very quick. Our waiter would only look at and communicate to my boyfriend, which was a bit odd. However, he was kind and helpful. Will definitely come back.
