"We were a group of six and it was our first time at Tao. We all left declaring (1) we will return again (2) we were experiencing a food comatose because the dinner menu options were that good - we could not stop eating even when we knew we were full and (3) the pictures on the website do not give the ambiance and decor of the place it's due justice because it is even more grandeur.

Our experience was great and the food was prepared quickly too, which is always an added bonus in NY. A++"
