Lincoln Park​の老舗店

Celebrating a birthday at The TAO was an epic experience. We didn’t need to hit a club to enjoy great hip-hop music, and we could still hear each other talk comfortably. The appetizers were so satisfying they could have been a meal on their own, making the main course feel like a plus. It’s definitely a fantastic spot for a date ⚡️

Incredible as always. Perfect service and unbelievable food

Food came out quick and was pretty good. Drinks we were able to get were good, they don’t serve liquor there so we did have to order just what was on the menu, and there weren’t a lot of cocktail options because of that

What a gem! Asador Bastian totally knocked it out of the park. Our server, Yousef ( potentially spelling his name wrong), was fantastic - super friendly and really knew his stuff. His recommendations were perfect for our dinner. We started with their Tortilla Española, which was a great way to kick things off - light but packed with flavor. The arroz cremoso that came next was incredible - the flavors were spot on. But the real showstopper was the Akaushi beef, cooked exactly how we wanted it, paired with these amazing bone marrow potato purée that I'm still thinking about. We wrapped up with a delicious cheesecake that hit all the right notes. The whole experience, from walking in to walking out, was just perfect. Can't wait to come back and try more dishes! If you're thinking about going - just do it. You won't regret it!

This is our go to neighborhood restaurant. Cozy bar. Fine dining with attentive service. The Sorel mural in dining room adds ambience and trivia for out of towners. Fabulous Gold Coast restaurant!
