![]() The manager was apologetic and offered desserts but by this point we just wanted to leave, eventually after some discussion items were removed from the bill and we left, so very disappointed. Finally when asked if all was ok Our waiters attitude was so poor, he was rude and arrogant to our complaints and walked away without discussion, he returned with a menu to point out that we had ordered appetisers, then offered the dessert menu, when we asked for the bill nothing had been taken off as good will for the poor food or service, when we said we were unhappy to pay the full amount he stormed off to get the manager. When we received our remaining dishes they were off poor quality, the pad Thai was overly sweet and lacking flavour, the jasmine rice hard and cold, like it had been sitting for hours, the coconut shrimp was ok but again cold, our order of jasmine rice was unnecessary due to the prawns being dry, I would have expected the waiter to advise of this to allow us to have made an adequate selection. We received 2 of our 5 dishes, which were luke warm, we expected the other dishes, but were told there was not enough room so they had decided to serve separately. ![]() We decided to share a number of dishes and took some advice from the waiter on which to try including appetisers and items from the main menu, we asked for it all to come together. Its wonderfully noisy, full of adult atmosphere, quiet dark and to me has nothing to offer children. We were seated on a very small table in the main dining area, which was fine, we were happy to be seated. Not sure whether Tao caters for children but my opinion is that this wonderful restaurant is not suitable.

New York, New York 17 followers Follow View all 22 employees About us Theres always a happy ending at New Yorks most beloved nightlife destination for fine asian cuisine and entertainment- TAO. Designed by Rockwell Group, TAO Downtown offers a distinct sense of arrival and discovery and is the first TAO venue where guests descend into a multi-level space. At 7:30 we asked how long until a table would be ready to be advised we could use the table we were sitting at until 8, not acceptable and told them we would wait for a proper table as the ones in the bar are sofas and coffee type tables. On asking one of the staff we could use a reserved table until 8pm, fine we thought, we'll have a table by then. How much do drinks cost at Tao Downtown Expect to pay 15-20 for cocktails. ![]() We went to get a drink in the bar but had to wait for a seat as even though we were early 6:30, all tables in the bar were reserved. Unless youre a celebrity in that case you can dress however you please. On arrival there was an issue with our booking, it had been cancelled, originally we had booked via open table but decided to call to book directly instead, which we believed to have been done and spoke with the staff who confirmed on an email, with no booking we were advised they could fit us in if we could wait which we did. To start on a positive the venue is absolutely stunning, a definite experience and a must visit, only for a drink just to have a look as I don't think you would see many places like Tao, sadly we now know that to be good an bad. Much much much much better.We booked back in November as a special night out to celebrate joint 40th birthday whilst in NYC and were highly disappointed. If you want a big lout place for Asian fusion, try Buddakan across the street. Everything tasted like it was prepared in advance and kept warm under a light, or ladled out of a large vat of pre-made food. The main courses of miso roasted black cod was dried out, the beef mongolian was over sauced and overcooked, and the Chinese broccoli was a mess of overcooked green leaves. The lamb chop yakitori was nondescript, and the shishito peppers were not freshly made. A big buddha at the end with a light show every few minutes. You then enter the restaurant space from a raised terrace, and it may be one of the most spectacular restaurant vistas in New York. Table was not ready on time, so they text you to tell you when it's ready. Entrance is impressive, as you walk down this long corridor to a hostess. Big fan of uptown, where we'd always had a good meal.
