    The food is no longer what it used to be to be, the place is aging, most dishes were substandard and not very high quality the waiters did not do a good job explaining the food I order this red snapper for $58 they forgot to mention it was fried with a lot of breadcrumbs like in the fast food places, it was truly not worth it

    Service was great but food wasn’t like it used to be. Apps were cold and fish was dry. Too bad because I used to love this place.

    We expected more. We could see much from our table upstairs by the bar. The decor was amazing coming in. The food was just ok to not great. Place was hard to get into so we had high hopes but there are better restaurant options in NYC.

    Been coming here for, yes, decades. We were celebrating our daughter’s 30th birthday and I told them so when I made my reservation. The food and service were amazing. I was just so disappointed when they showed us to the worst table in the house. Upstairs in a cramped corner next to the wait station. Food’s great but they sure don’t pay attention to the details like they used to.

    Tao is such a beautiful lively restaurant and my go to for taking people from out of town. Last night they had a great price fixed dinner that was a good deal. We each got it and it was enough to share and bring food home. We had a great time --the drinks were great, and the energy was fantastic. Lots of good photo ops by the Buddha! I will be back again of course. Our waiter was helpful too with suggestions.
