TAO Chicago offers guests a sensual trip through the cuisines of Asia. The design-driven restaurant and adjoining nightclub is inspired by the original TAO locations in New York City, Las Vegas and Los Angeles.

TAO Chicago features multiple levels, creating dynamic spaces within the historic building’s shell, while adding TAO’s Asian-influenced DNA to the restaurant, lounge and nightclub including murals by artist Hush and TAO’s signature 16-foot-tall Quan Yin statue anchoring one end of the dining room.

TAO Chicago’s restaurant menu, created by TAO Group Partner and Chef Ralph Scamardella , is complete with Pan-Asian offerings from the sea, sky and land including signature dishes like Satay of Chilean Sea Bass, Crispy Rice Tuna and a Wagyu Rib-Eye.

    The service was really good, our waitress was very attentive, and food was great. But our table was located next to an inoperative register, next to a brick wall. Next time, I know where to request seating.

    They will only allow 2,000 characters and my review is longer than that but overall the ambience was nice…the food ad experience is a no bueno. Don’t fall for the specials on Valentines Day not good and not worth the money. Its no special, its higher than the entire menu.

    Delicious food and beautiful ambience, but the service was very poor hosts had a big attitude, there was one bartender for 40 people. And the table service was very slow and inattentive
