    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.

    Still one of the best Italian options. Starts with the bartender and the hostesses. Some offerings are simply sublime. Others strong contenders. Wine list is essentially Italian and varied. Expensive but worthy. Service is perfect. And engagingly friendly.
