   "Tao" is a very good restaurant on its own merits, but it's the scenery of the place and how it caught my attention at very first glance-which turned into a stare of amazement at how huge and spacious the place was. Now either it was just my imagination or the place is really that big as it appears while you're standing above looking downward upon the complete dining area & scene of the place, which if I would have had to guess is about 1/2 of a city block in length and half of that distance in width (even though indoors) or again maybe I was just that amazed. To be seated well on the main (or bottom floor) you are escorted down the stairs, which are in resemblance of being inside an Asian-style temple of some sort (yes, I was that starstruck about the appearance and views), and they succeeded in setting that mood and theme with the Asian-style decor. My party of 5 was seated and greeted by our waiter promptly, and because I'm an avid "Open-table”user, I was well aware in advance what I wanted to order for the drinks and appetizers & leading to my main dish. The food was very tasty, well-prepared, seasoned, and flavorful (as you may or may not be able to tell by the pictures posted). My entire party appreciated the service and ambiance. Highly recommend 10 out of 10.

   Waiter was great, it’s beautiful restaurant, but the food is PF Changs level just extremely overpriced. Our 6 year old enjoyed the food!

   Service and waitress was great. Ordered a lobster pad Thai and received a plate fill of mushrooms . Lol. The waitress agreed and did mention to the chef. Other than that we had a great dining experience.
