TAO Asian Bistro & Nightclub

John, our server this evening, absolutely fabulous. Took care of us like we were family, we celebrated a birthday and though we had a negative experience with fellow guests, John went totally out of his way to not only rectify our experience, but still we left feeling special. He helped navigate a celiac menu without blinking and was so sweet and so professional. 10/10 would come back and request him personally. Absolutely fabulous evening at Tao!

Another review from my #crosscountryUSTrip2025#. We were in Vegas for only a day and covered a lot of ground - literally. Exhausted, we caught up with a part of our party at the Venetian. Tao was an obvious choice to grab a fine lunching experience. As you might know from #samvadStories#, I have severe food allergies and I have to be careful about what I eat #AllergyFriendly#. But double the fun, my bestie had some severe allergies too. Between the two of us we covered gluten, lactose, all nuts and seeds, corn and tomato. Being vegetarians limited our choices too. you think !! But we were able to find two dishes "8 Greens Fried Rice", which was a most awesome collection of green things to go with rice (and tasty too), and "bamboo steamed vegetable dumplings with crunchy cucumbers" where the crunchy cucumbers were muaah-to-die-for. Fine-lunching experiences are about the phenomenal food (covered above), distinguishing ambience (dim lighting with haloed budhha statues covered by many fellow reviewers) AND service #ItsNotAPlaceItsAPeople# For some reasons our server wouldn't couldn't (?) take a happy picture of a reunion of high school friends meeting after 27 years. Her excuses were innovative - "as soon as I get my hands free from these dishes I am collecting" or " as soon as I serve the order that you guys ordered" and so on. Maybe she was overworked from the lunch crowd as we landed for a late late lunch or maybe she just thought Indians are bad tippers which we (collective pronoun) usually are but we (first person plural pronoun) aren't. But we (first person plural pronoun) being we (collective pronoun) had to get our handsome-tips-worth, so we discreetly ignored other diners to ourselves click pictures with the tall budhha statue and used the quirky yin and yang restrooms.

I have Celiac disease (severe gluten intolerance) and rarely eat out due to being afraid. Lars was INCREDIBLE! Such a kind soul who really went out of his way to ensure that I was taken care of and safe. After talking with him, so much stress was lifted and I felt safe to eat food. He got me GF replacements for anything the rest of the table had, and confirmed with me each and every item. They were aware of and safe with cross contamination. I had so much safe food! And every bite was DELICIOUS!!! Lars single handedly made me feel like a human and not needy like most restaurants. My only complaint is that the music was SO LOUD we had to shout to be heard. Otherwise, I'm so impressed!!
