Lack of options for pescatarians or vegetarians or anyone with a shrimp allergy. Waitstaff and hostesses have serious lack of awareness of needs of customers and would constantly interrupt intimate and private conversations to be pushy about ordering, asking for menus, asking about drink refills or if we needed something when we just got drinks or just got food and drinks. The server was also rude when my husband got his steak and kept trying to insist on her cutting into my husband's steak herself to check to see if it was properly cooked to his requested temperature when she wasn't wearing any gloves and we had just watched her finally clear several truly disgusting tables covered in gross leftover food that had been left out for almost an hour while she and the hostess kept pestering us and interrupting our conversation. When my husband said he would cut into his own steak, instead of her doing so with her unwashed dirty hands, she had the audacity to roll her eyes. The only true option for me on the menu was the caprese salad, which included 4 of the smallest basil leaves I've ever seen, 6 thin slices of mozzarella, and 5 slices of tomato that didn't even add up to have of a large tomato, drizzled with balsamic with a side of more Italian dressing than I had food that cost me $15. My husband ordered an $11 glass of Villa M Moscato and was brought a gigantic wine glass but was poured less than half a glass of wine. He ordered a steak, medium rare, and received a steak smaller than my tiny palm, likely 4-5oz, that was closer to rare, with 2 asparagus, 1/3 cup mashed potatoes (very dry), and a "mixed salad" of 1/4 cup greens with 4 cherry tomatoes and the same large side of Italian dressing that I received. Even our water glasses were tiny and close to 6 oz. We received barely any food and felt rushed and like they didn't want us there, despite having a reservation hours before closing and being sat in an almost empty back room, and paid $80 post tax and tip to leave hungry and annoyed. Will definitely never go back and 0/10 highly do NOT recommend to anyone who likes food or to feel welcomed where they are going to eat or spend money. read more

Everything. We had high hopes for this restaurant. We had actually attempted to Come a couple of months ago based off of their menu choices but they had actually closed for a remodel that week so it wasn't in the cards for us that day. So today we decided to stop and have lunch. Worst decision ever. They changed their entire menu since we last looked at it. We literally ordered desert and left. So disappointing. We were excited that we would get something other than Mexican type food... I am one so I want something different. Red Lobster it is. read more

Thought we were going to an upscale restaurant and were greeted with loud Latin music and chips and salsa on the table. Usually my favorite but not for our upscale anniversary dinner. We got up and left. We will try again when not looking for quiet romantic atmosphere read more

The food is way below average small portions and way over priced considering the quality of the rest of the Mexican food in town. No wonder it was empty on Friday at 6:30 in the evening. It's a shame it's a beautiful place. read more

service was bad I was there for almost a hour and half and only got one drink no refills or anything never came and checked up on me got oysters and the oyster meat was really small 12 count didn't even make me full never again waste of 44 dollars read more

The chef here knows what they are doing. Sushi selection is prestige. And the scallops while maybe a tad over priced, are served in a cilantro sauce that pairs perfectly. I'd recommend sipping a mojito prepared by the well trained bar staff while you enjoy your scallops and Nigiris. It is pretty pricy but you are paying for a great atmosphere as well. Would definitely recommend as a must go place for a date or business meeting. Hell, I went by my self and was very pleased. 10/5 stars on my word. read more

steak was burnt other steak was raw service sucked don't ever come here better off eating mcdonald's

Poor service, food took over 30 minutes, waitress forgot orders. Food not worth the price

The service took like 30 minutes to get seated and order drinks like 30 minutes and no one brought our drinks out and never got to order our food and people that where there after us got served first read more

expensive and the food sucked! wait staff took forever to get anything. I don't understand the hype.

The atmosphere was nice till the music started and then we hurried to finish because we could not hear each other. The food was wonderful

This place was very nice on the inside and has a great ambiance. That's the ONLY positive thing I can say. Ordered the lobster tomato bisque, tasted like it came straight from a cambells can with 3 pieces of lobster. My food tasted horrible. Ordered the pasta with chicken. The pasta tasted sour like the milk or cream they use for the sauce had gone bad. Chicken was very under seasoned. My husbands tacos were cold and the others in the group were dissatisfied with their meals as well. Paid lots of money to leave hungrier than before the meal had started. read more

First timer and let me just say hands down one of the best restaurants I've had the pleasure to eat at!! It was a table of three. We ordered the lamb chops, the fillet steak, and the pacific fettuccine!! We all shared and tasted each meal!! Superb!! The red lady drink was also delicious!! For dessert we shared the s'mores cake and the cheesecake brûlée... mmm mmm mmm!! So impressed!! Very clean and professional place. Every employee there was friendly and prompt. Lucy was our waitress and was on point, no doubt!! Highly recommend Taboo!! Almost forgot about the appetizer we had. Taboo shrimp!! So delicious!! read more
