![]() 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. ![]() We were seated on a very small table in the main dining area, which was fine, we were happy to be seated. Just after 8 we were going to leave and were advised our table would be ready shortly. 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. 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. 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. If you’re thinking that is a lot for two people to finish, let me confirm you are correct! We ate as much as we could but decided pack up the rest to take back to the hotel which we devoured the next day! We were lucky our hotel was more than happy to store our food safely as well as bring it up to our room after reheating when we requested.Īnyway, we had an amazing time here not only was the food great but the service and atmosphere enhanced our experience tremendously, I would highly recommend checking it out! Let us know if you visit and what your favourite dish was.We booked back in November as a special night out to celebrate joint 40th birthday whilst in NYC and were highly disappointed. Anyway, check out below what we ordered if you are planning to go and need some help: The portions were very generous and were made specifically to be shared which worked great for us. We ordered so much food definitely too much for two people but we wanted to try a little of almost everything haha. Our waiter was super friendly and helped us order recommending dishes and drinks. The location itself is sort of underground where you enter at street level then go down a flight of stairs and a series of darkened hallways to get to the electric atmosphere of the restaurant. We were greeted and taken into the dining area which was truly spectacular. We had dinner reservations and arrived hungry after a full day of exploring. ![]() Tao has a couple of locations in New York and after a little research I had found that the Downtown spot was the nicest hence why we came here and we were not disappointed! Anyway, Tao was one of the three and was also the first place we dined at in the city. This helped us have some plans in place but also left room to be spontaneous and eat randomly when we wanted. Whilst making our itinerary we chose to make reservations for 3 out of the 6 nights we were in New York. I had initially planned to put our top 3 restaurant picks of the trip into one post however I’m always interested the little details of a place including the food people order which is why I decided to make them separate posts, enjoy!
