TAO Uptown

 

    TAO is a fancy restaurant, possibly one of the fanciest I've been to. They have two locations: uptown, which is the one I've been to, and the other downtown. What I really like about TAO is the setting. As seen in the picture above there is a giant buddha statue and a koi pond beneath it. I was lucky enough to dine on the second floor which had a beautiful overview of the whole place. The food was delicious, and the menu had many options. But what I really loved was the desserts. They have an option for you to order a little bit of everything and had a phenomenal presentation of the desserts. They also serve great cocktails, I haven't had a single cocktail I didn't like there. TAO is on the pricey side of things, it's a place I would recommend if you want to impress someone or if you would like a prestigious vibe as you dine. They book through reservations only.
