Tao

Step out of the everyday and enter through large, carved doors into a dark, candlelit sanctuary resembling a place somewhere deep in the jungle. It is colorful, fun and not just for the kids and teens. Towering brick walls with inset statuary, lanterns and a gigantic Buddha are good conversation starters. Peking spring rolls, dragon-tail spare ribs, miso-glazed sea bass, Mongolian filet mignon and Hong Kong XO shrimp are stand-outs. A prix-fixe lunch, as well as sushi, is available.
