by Roy L. on Went here on a Sunday night so getting reservations weren't difficult. We had a group of 6 of us and waited at the bar for about 30 minutes. While at the bar, I ordered a Mai Tai which was kind of weak. Something was missing and it could have been much better. The waiting area was nice and swanky but it was fairly empty there. When we were sat down, we ordered a round of drinks and 2 orders of squab wraps. They were amazing, the sauce that came along with it made it. One of my friends ate about 4 wraps alone. The waitress was quick, nice, and efficient. We decided on eating family-style so we ordered 5 dishes and shared them. Spicy Tuna Tartare-This was a pretty good dish, not the table's favorite but I liked it. It could have been colder, seem liked it sat out for a while but was still good. However, the crispy rice that it was served on had weird texture and kind of took away from it. Pad Thai- This was pretty good, perfectly cooked noodles and nice texture. The chicken was of good quality and it was an overall decent dish. The sauce was a little sweet and wasn't the most authentic but this was one of the table's favorites. Crispy Coconut Shrimp with Spicy Peanut Sauce(my order)- This dish came with 6 jumbo almost prawn shrimp which was perfect for our table. These had a tremendous amount of flavor and the peanut sauce and slaw that came with it was awesome. Overall, nice-texture and very fresh shrimp. This plate made me reconsider ordering family-style since I wanted to eat all 6 myself. Everyone liked this dish as well. Sand Pot Shrimp, Lobster, and Scallops with Black Bean Sauce- a little pricey($39) but very good as well. Almost had too many veggies and not enough seafood. The sauce was very good but I've had black bean sauces from local Chinese restaurants that was just as good and a whole lot cheaper. Though I loved this dish, it didn't seem like a table favorite. Again, fresh shrimp(didn't get to taste the scallops and lobster)and an overall good quality dish. Overpriced in my opinion but good. Kung Pao Chicken- This was a good dish as well, nothing special but a very solid, good-quality dish. Not much better from a local fast-food joint but the sauce was surprisingly light and tasty. It didn't taste a an MSG laden dish like most restaurants but this isn't a dish I'd order in an upscale place like Tao. The dish really didn't add a gourmet spin on Kung Pao Chicken or didn't "upscale"(verb) it. Funny Tidbit, the part of the menu with poultry says "from the sky". Hmm, I didn't know that chickens were from the sky. Got a laugh out of that. We didn't have any room for dessert unfortunately. Overall, good restaurant albeit a little pricey. You pay for the name and atmosphere. The service was very good and the crowd was pretty chill. We actually got out of there spending $48 each including tip so not bad for an "upscale" meal and drinks. It didn't blow me away but was slightly above-average. This isn't anywhere I'll go regularly, maybe on special occasion. It's like an expensive PF Changs. I liked the food better at this one but obviously the atmosphere at the Vegas one. The food did taste a little different at each location. I'll definitely take my wife here who couldn't make it this time; this would be a great place to start off the night on a party or birthday night.
by D-Zo A. on This place is absolutely retarded. There's about twelve square feet of dancing space next to tables conveniently lined against one wall so you can more easily knock over some third-rate hipster's drink. And that hipster who's drink you knocked over? They're gonna be pissed after paying 12 bucks for that shit mixed drink. Don't feel too worried though - no jigger at the bar means less Jack in their cup. Even if they were on their fourth drink (with a tab lingering somewhere around 40 bucks), they probably won't be drunk enough to wanna fight. Lucky you. If they do try to fight, lose them by squeezing through the narrow hallway leading to the outdoor smoking patio. Wait, is this outdoors? There is a roof over my smoking area. How is there less air here than inside? This looks like the set of Friends (West Coast style). Oh, and there's the bootleg hipster who's drink you spilled. You can try getting him another drink at the bar back here or just give up on Temporary Spaces all together, wondering how the place ever became permanent. You'd probably have a better time in that abandoned tetanus mansion playhouse across the street.
by Edmond Liner on I wasn't too impressed with this Amy's location. It's very small and cramped, they only accept cash and checks (neither of which I EVER carry) and the parking lot close by is jam-packed with giant SUVs in compact car spots. After nearly getting clobbered a few times in the parking lot while trying to park, we finally made it over to the shop. They did have the payment policy listed on the door when we went in, which should have been our first clue to bail, but one of our group actually had some cash. I ordered the Mexican Vanilla frozen yogurt, which is what was listed as the yogurt option on the board, and was told that they were out. Oh, but they did have Dutch Chocolate yogurt. I enjoyed my yogurt, and liked the little food court area with the cows outside, but it's a lot of hassle for just a few minutes of ice cream enjoyment.
