I took a client to Tao not expecting to get in but to our delight, we were able to be seated at the bar upstairs witha full menu. I found the food to be delicious and the bartenders/service responsive, which as busy as they were, I was surprised. Overall a good experience for a Tuesday evening... the place was packed. I was a bit surprised the we couldn't get seated at a table for 3 hours and it almost forced me to go to another restaurant... but again, we made it work and enjoyed thre evening there. The host staff was not very accommodating either. Aren;t we all tired of host staff's the are indignant to customers?! What is it with New York restaurants?
Pros: good food, fair price, good drinks
Cons: hard to get table
