My Experience @ Tao

I ate at Tao last night. Not a bad joint. A lot of hype though. I dropped a hundie on the meal and drinks. This included tax and tip but it's still a lot. You pay for the experience I suppose as you are eating in a rather sumptuous setting. I started with the veggie dumplings and then moved on to the ginger glazed salmon with udon noodles. My fish was cooked medium and perfectly buttery. It had that slight crunch on the outside with that wonderfully, buttery, melt in your mouth texture in the middle. Perfectly pink, perfectly cooked. I ate my food very slowly as I wanted to savor it. While the immediate company I was in was terrific, the crowd at the bar left something to be desired... Let me ask you something, when did people in NYC become SO obnoxious? Granted, it might have been the scene at the place but come on! I finally had to say something extremely inappropriate to get this dude to leave me alone. DON'T READ ANY FUTHER IF YOU ARE SQUEEMISH: But I basically had to tell the guy that I suffered from 6 month raging yeast infection. Let me tell you how effective this is if you want a guy to leave you alone. There was a trail of smoke left in his wake as he ran away from me.
