wow, that’s a big budda statue i thought as we walked into tao. i met bonny at tao on 58th street thursday for lunch to catch up on office happenings and schedules. little did i know that i was in for a culinary adventure at 12:30 in the afternoon. i remember the hype a while back about the restaurant but never made it to try it ouf for myself until now. as bonny doesn’t eat sushi, we skipped tha whole piece of the menu and instead went for the new york sirloin with mushrooms and potatoes. no more than ten minutes later, our food was out. small portions for rather expensive prices. you pay more for the ambiance and to say that you went to tao than for the amount of food you are getting. welcome to new york. no knife needed for the steak as it was pre-sliced to perfection and melted in your mouth. did i walk away satisfied? i walked away not feeling sick from over-eating so maybe those small portions weren’t such a bad thing after all.
