so the great tao turns out to be filled w tourists and kiddies! yes pull hard on the heavy outside door and enter a super dimly lit bar area and then cont further inside to see tourists w their fanny packs and kids hanging around. never have i seen sooo many kids come out of a ""cool trendy"" restaurant before.
overall if u dont mind that, the place isnt too bad. the usual pricey martinis are only ok, the lychee was mad sweet, stick w the tao love potion. the food was not bad, the molten chocolate cake was pretty good but theres a lot of coconut w that cake for some reason, i guess its supposed to remind you that they are ""asian"" and ""fusion"" and all that.
but not a bad place to hang out and throw back a few drks after some shopping on 5th =P
Pros: nice decor, spacious eating area
Cons: small bar area
