My birthday is in 4 days and a friend of mine took me to Gloria's last night for an early birthday dinner. Good thing that it was not actually on the day of my birthday because they would have ruined my birthday dinner. The only reason why Gloria's received 2 stars is because our waitress was so nice. The food sucked. The sirloin steak was overcooked, sausage was undercooked, and I've been up with bubble guts all night. Never ever, EVER again.

If you happen to be staying or touring (or living) on the east side, Tao is a great best, and it had held up since its opening. I recommend arriving some time before your reservation to enjoy a cocktail in the front bar, which is really nicely appointed with armless seating, which is conducive to talking across parties. The room is structures to make that accommodation. The bartenders are friendly, not really the typical New York types that act like little cash-making machines and move on to the next 10% tip. Our bartender took some time to introduce us to the special cocktails and chatted us up for a while. The coolest part of the restaurant is the huge-ola Buddha that dons the back of the space. Since this eatery is one of the larger ones you will dine in, take it all in! We found out an interesting tidbit of Buddha trivia while we talked with the waiter: 1. the lighting within the Buddha are actual candles, not bulb that someone flips on and off. 2. the candles are hand lit using a scaffold that they place behind the Buddha each night. Imagine being the hostess who has to climb the 40 foot scaffold in your heels to light each individual candle on the structure! As far as the food is concerned, it is creative, Asian-inspired, tasty fare created rather than made, sculpted rather than presented. I tried the spicy tuna tartare for an appetizer ($14). I figured that it would be one of the least popular items, but the waiter confirmed that lots of people like it and return for it. The sauce was really the best part here. For an entree, I had the Soy-Ginger glazed Salmon with Udon Noodles and Spinach. It's probably not the most daring pick I could choose, but the salmon was a good size -- about 7 ounces, and the fusion of ginger and soy made it really a pleasant dish. ($26). For some of the greatest doughnuts you've ever tasted, hold out for Tao's. The sugar-roasted doughnuts are "like my dad used to make." Crispy, toasty, and served with some killer ice creams. ($9.) Enjoy it all. Tao is great.

After 5 minutes inside, I was very thankful that I am married. Even if I was single, this isn't the place to meet Mr. Right. Cheeseball central with bad cologne. If you want to keep the girl-guy ratio 4-1 at least keep the rift-raft waiting in the ridiculous line outside. Why? Why ruin a good club with a great concept? They make you sign up for SPAM to slide down their famous slide. Overrated. Then they almost didn't let us in because there were 3 guys in my 6 ppl group. I shouldn't have gone in the first place because I hate crowds but I was obligated. 2 am, I met a guy with a bloody face and hands from being rough- handled by the bouncers. Slide is in the T'loin but I expected that outside the bar not inside.
