Had a rather expensive meal at Tao and went away less than thrilled with the overall experience. Mediocre to acceptable food, high cost for small portions, slow service, and a poorly laid out restaurant design lacking anything visually appealing. Ok, the big Buddha was pretty cool, but that was about it. Between food, service, and atmosphere, would think they have got one of them right? All lacked substance. Seemed like a restaurant that is resting on its laurels. Since this is about Vegas, herding people in, getting as much money as they can, and then some, it is what it is. What it is not, a place I would come back.
