Everything was perfect. The Filet Mignon, Mashed Potatoes, and Fettuccine Alfredo were all top-notch. Not only was the food amazing, but the staff were also incredibly kind and welcoming. We’re leaving with wonderful memories. Thank you!

It is the best spot for a casual night out. Super fun energy with the best shareable plates.

Every dish that landed on our table was PERFECTION! Incredible menu and delightful service.

Everything about Dunsmoor is great. From the moment you step into the beautifully lit stunning dining room the Team is so welcoming. Special shout out to Zoe who recommended a fantastic wine and took great care of us. Crudo is fresh and delicious. You will want to order all of the bread dips, and literally you can’t make a wrong choice. LOVE the new asparagus dish, so fresh and bright with the roe. Understood that it’s seasonal, but hope it sticks around for a while. I never order pork except at Dunsmoor where it is perfectly prepared and mouth watering no matter what the preparation. Don’t sleep on the cheddar potatoes- a highly improved version of a classic. It’s understandably hard to get a reservation- tip is to Put yourself on notify if no reservations are available and hover at the Dunsmoor Bar next-door enjoying a great glass of natural wine and a crudo with fingers crossed. It’s a fantastic back up dining plan as several of the menu items are available and they have a killer steak offered only at the bar.

This was our 2nd visit to TAO and everything was as great as the first time. We arrived early so we could eat before our musical at Pantages. The food was delicious and the service was excellent prompting a very outsized tip. We will definitely return. Brent
