                                              Our first time celebrating our Anniversary at Tabu and it succeeded all of our expectations. Diana the waitress was AMAZING! Made great suggestions from the menu and they did not disappoint. Food and cocktails were impeccable. Their presentation and taste 10/10. The performances were exciting and both dancers made sure EVERYONE had a great time. Will most definitely come back!

                                              La experiencia fue fabulosa. Lo unico es que el costo de la comida es sumamente alto para lo que sirve. La comida es muy buena, pero no hay mucha variacion en el men̈ú.

                                              The vibes and food was delicious. The entertainment was 2 hours late. She showed up & performed a bit but then just walked around a lot.

                                              The food was tasty et well presented! The atmosphere, we got there at 7pm, was very quiet, however, by the time we left it was a little better. The female dancer was extremely talented however, my wife was not impressed by the male dancer in his work pants and construction boots, not sexy at all. Price was expensive for the limited entertainment provided.
