They apologized for our table not being ready, and I reminded them that we were really early so no problem! They comped us drinks at the bar so immediately I was wowed. We arrived EARLY around 7:00 on to have a look around. I don't even know where to start with how absolutely perfect the entire experience was! We had a 7:30 dinner reservation. We went to Tao Chicago for my birthday dinner last night and then into the nightclub afterwards. An amazing night and wonderful to see Brendan again being successful in Chicago. Felipe our server was efficient and very polite. Even though we had eaten earlier, we had to try the sea bass which has always been our favorite along with vegetables and as usual Brendan arranged for a nice dessert with a candle for my wife. He hasn’t changed and its so awesome to see the Tao Group has such amazing executives running their properties. ![]() First the restaurant is on a grander scale than NYC but is run extremely efficiently from the front doorman who had our reservations on a list and quickly got us in, to the front desk which were swamped that weekend but very gracious and welcoming to of course Brendan who so busy, made it a point to escort us to a table and then later stopped by to get us to the club later. WOW if you thought NYC was amazing what he has done with Chicago not only with the restaurant but nightclub (he granted us VIP status for a 10 minutes visit so we could see how adult kids enjoying the club…who he granted access)! Everyone local we spoke to that weekend, including the concierge at the Hyatt Regency who couldn’t fit us in, told us that Tao is considered the place to be and you could see if by how dressed up everyone was. He was an amazing Manager in new York who we met for years and always demonstrated excellence in his operations and customer staff (and who we considered a friend) and this gave us a opportunity to visit him (he fit my wife, celebrating a Birthday weekend, in for dinner) and to see his operations. In Chicago for ALL Star Weekend, a really busy weekend for the City and Tao, I was thrilled that we were able to visit Director of Operations Brendan McManus and to see the Restaurant he was sent from new York to establish. The nightclub is open Thursday and Friday 10pm - 4am and Saturday 10pm - 5am. Combining breathtaking design, state-of-the-art special effects and world-class DJs and talent, Tao Chicago's nightclub is truly an unparalleled experience.
