by Todd Heynen on I'm giving it three for the DJ but other than that I was not impressed. Yes, the music was great as expected from all the Buddha Bars but this place was a freaking meat market. But hey, if you're into the single scene perhaps this is the place to be. For us, not so much. I doubt we'll return. Then again we had just come from Buddakan which was very cool and chill... we shoulda stayed there.
by Eugenio Sudbeck on Anyone go to the Josh Ritter Eric Bachman show on Wednesday October 24? It was my first time at Bimbo's and I really liked it. First, who was the girl playing with Eric Bachman, I didn't catch her name and I'm dying to find her again. So so amazing. The other artists, namely Josh Ritter, was energetic, appreciative, fun, and so talented. Such a great show experience. The venue was beautiful; I'd call it 70's chic. Do prom's rent that place out? That would be a cool idea..... The food looked gross, the drinks were too expensive for what they were offering, and the drink servers were too concerned with their own table section and would rather clear drinks from our table than take our drink order. I know it has been in the same family for a while, but they could do with some help in the managing department. Great venue for bands though. Really intimate. Loved the decore. And if you do know Eric Bachman's partner in crime that night, please rateclubs back!
by Jasmin G. on OMG - I LOVE TAO. First, the decor of this place is absolutely off the wall. You walk into the bar area and you think 'ok..its typical trendy new york asian fusion architecture' - but no wait...go a bit further into the dining area and look up - ah! a ceiling with some interesting asian inspired characters hits your eyes and you're mesmerized for several minutes before you realized people are staring at you as you gawk. Look straight ahead, and boom! A huge statue of Buddha (and I mean giant-sized huge) stares back at you - its absolutely exquisite! The DJ is playing really good light lounge music at a reasonable volume (meaning you can have a conversation and still enjoy the background music) as you eat. While some bars offer bowls of nuts, TAO offers wasabi peas which I appreciated b/c I love wasabi peas. We were seated upstairs which was fun because then you can see everything from top to bottom. Tao recommends sharing platters, so we shared a chilean sea bass small plate, lobster + shrimp dumplings, yellowtail sushi roll with crispy onions, and a smoked salmon roll. I liked everything but the dumplings. The Yellowtail with crispy onions was by far the best thing we ate. For dessert we got the chocolate melting cake with coconut ice cream as well as an ice cream sampler. I chose green tea, red bean, and fortune cookie ice cream. The sampler was good, but too big - I definitely recommend sharing your dessert. The melting cake was good, but I always get melting cake which is why I opted for something different. For the health conscious, they offer a fruit platter that includes the exotic asian fruit known as Lychee. This place is so awesome - and is definitely a great date-spot. I recommend it highly. I found out they have a lunch special - so I may have to make another trip there fairly soon :) Price-wise - we paid 45 each for all that food. Which isn't bad for Tao. Also, make reservations way in advance - this place books up and is great for locals and tourists alike!
