    I would never recommend anyone to attend on a special day. They tried to maximize the restaurant and tables were basically on top of each other. Because of this the service was horrible and food was not cooked well. They were rushed and it was just an overall horrible experience.

    We have dined at Tabū many times before and had an amazing experience each time. We expected nothing less. On valentines day, we were extremely let down. We did not have a server for the first 15 minutes. After our drink order was taken, we did not get to order for another 15 minutes. No bread was offered during the entire 30 minute wait. After ordering, our daughter’s food came out 10 minutes before ours. The presentation was great, however. The waiter mistook our sides as waste and took it back, so we only had steak and no sides. Additional drinks were ordered and they never came. As for dessert, it was frozen solid and completely inedible. At the end of our meal and almost $600 later, we had to bag our own leftovers. I hope they have a better experience for guests next year.
