   Had an amazing dinner with friends. Every dish was delicious. Cocktails were also on point. We tried the Old Fashioned, G&J, Unicorn Show (not too heavy on mezcal which I enjoyed), Eden and Paloma. For food, we are the trio of salsa dips that were mouthwateringly good. Starters were Grilled Octopus, Ceviche, Nachos and Lobster Flautas. Mains were the truffle gnocchi special and shrimp po-boy tacos. Would order everything again.

   Server was incredibly attentive as we arrived at 9 and kitchen closes at 9 so we were able to order all our courses and she had them out over a half hour which went well. My date is a tequila expert and she was pleased I found a house that exceeded her needs. We had three different cocktails and the Rosa flight and all were delightful. We have a goal to try places we have never been throughout 2022 and we decided last night that we should break our rule and return to your house before end of year.

   We were soo excited to try out this new restaurant. We loved the look and ambiance of the restaurant. We ordered our drinks and we were unfortunately underwhelmed. The spicy tequila drink was way too spicy. We had the lobster flautas. They were very tasty but only had lobster on 1/2 of the flauta. Maybe use a smaller tortilla if you’re going to fill it halfway. Ambiance was awesome. Food and drinks were just ok.

   I went to Tabu with a friend of mine for drinks and an early dinner. The ambiance and vibe feel like Tulum. The artwork and decor are vibrant and beautiful. Our waiter Chase was fantastic and gave us some great recommendations. A few of my favorite items were the queso fundido with chorizo, the esquite corn fritters, and the passionfruit bunuelo. The bar has a massive selection of tequila and my personal favorite mezcal. They have some unique and tasty craft cocktails. Tabu also has a pop up rooftop lounge it’s first come first serve (no reservations) with 360 views of the city.

    Loved the food, ambiance, and drinks. Drinks were the highlight of the meal, as well as the lobster flautas. Not so pleased with dessert choices. Parking is also hard in this area, but would definitely come back to enjoy the drinks!

    The food was really delicious and the ambiance is beautiful. Drinks were very tasty. We ordered the spice of life and peach fuzz for drinks, and grilled octopus, Bandeira paisa tacos and papas bravos for food. The food is pretty pricey but expected for the west loop location. Alejandro our server was very nice and helped us through the menu.

    For all the hype, I expected the food to be really special and while there were unique ingredients the flavor wasn’t there. Could be a temporary supply chain issue and the produce wasn’t up to their standards so I would consider trying again.

    I felt expensive for what you get. 2 tacos $15. They were good but small.. Server should know Paloma has tequila in it- he said he thinks vodka. Actually I should know but I didn’t know what the liquor stated was. Nice atmosphere but you have to like loud pumping music while you eat. Worth a try but there’s really so much competition around Randolph Fulton Market area.

    A little bit hard to find, but interesting. Turns out they have a rooftop bar at the other end of the building with a limited menu and music (good on a fair weather day). Food items are varied, and it was easy to put together a meal of good items. "Trendy"...

    Tabu was beautifully decorated inside and had a great vibe! We started with the guac with plantains which was a little bland, but fresh. There were other options for guac that sounded interesting too. We loved the jicama burrito which was a super creative way to eat vegetables. The squash blossom tacos were awesome, and so was the bunuello dessert. Highly recommend!

    Tabu has a very cool interior and energetic vibe. Our wait staff was attentive and knowledgeable. We tried several starters and the octopus was outstanding. We also had several tacos and two main dishes. The food was good but you only get two tacos for $17 with no side. Our dinner ended up being more expensive than we anticipated.

    The place is designed to be a vibe with a built in DJ stand and I suspect it turns into a club later on. Food is at best inoffensive but is really only about a show. To that end, while we were being served we were asked multiple times if we wanted to take pictures of the process. Food lacked flavor and salt. Drinks were sour with no flavor. Would not recommend unless you wanted to have a vibey time with expensive mediocre food.

    Food was good but felt like they tried too hard. Overly complex flavor profiles. Would recommend the grilled octopus and ceviche. Cocktails were fantastic. Server was a bit lacking. Was never offered dessert or asked if we wanted another cocktail.

    The decor and ambiance is so dope. The music was also incredible. Our waiter was fun, entertaining and gave good recommendations for food and drinks. The food was overall pretty good. I did wish they had a chicken taco option instead of just fried chicken. The cost of the food was pretty pricey. $15 for just two tacos seems insane to me! Overall, I enjoyed our evening and would go back.

    We had an amazing experience from start to finish. From the snake door handle to get in, to the secret-loungey vibe of the bathrooms, Tabu exceeded our expectations. The octopus and crispy rice were cooked to perfection and the corn fritters were phenomenal. They need to be in my house 24/7. 5 stars and can't wait to drive 3 hours to go again!

    Extremely disappointed. The place itself is stunning and the drinks are amazing but I’m so disappointed in the service and how I was treated. I made a reservation for 5 a few weeks ago for July 14th. I called July 13th to let them know that a baby was attending and we would need a high chair. The hostess was annoyed with me for some reason, I kept trying to explain the situation and she continued to talk over me (I couldn’t get a word in) she put me on hold for 5min then later came back and said she could accommodate me which was nice of her (I guess?). I apologized and not sure why but she made me feel like I did something terribly wrong. The day of we were super excited to finally try this place. I was torn between the mole tacos and the bandeja tacos. Per my servers recommendation I went with the mole tacos. I wasn’t a fan.. I took a bite had my boyfriend try them and we sent them back. When the server came back he asked how the tacos were and I said I didn’t like them and sent them back and he literally laughed and said “oh well I like them” which took me back because typically a server would respond with “sorry about that, can I get you something else?” OR “I’ll take it off the bill for you”. Idk anything besides laugh and say “oh well”. He literally didn’t care at all. (Keep in mind you get 2 tacos for $15) And the worst part about it was HE WAS TRAINING SOMEONE ELSE!!!! I wish the experience would’ve been better honestly. After $400 I left STILL hungry.

    The place is beautiful no question about that. The food was lacking in flavors big time. We ordered the shrimp and grits and it was $26 and it really didn't taste like much. The grits were not what I'm used to..not creamy and rich. The lobster toquito things were just blah. Very greasy. I wouldn't fry lobster but hey that's me. I ordered the Tia Rita as my cocktail and even that had little flavor. Kinda disappointing for my birthday dinner.
