TAO Downtown

TAO Downtown transforms group dining into theatrical spectacle within its soaring 30,000-square-foot David Rockwell-designed space, where towering Buddha sculptures and cascading waterfalls create an atmosphere that's equal parts spiritual sanctuary and glamorous nightclub. The restaurant's four private rooms can accommodate everything from intimate 15-person celebrations to grand 1,500-guest affairs, all while serving elevated pan-Asian cuisine that spans delicate dim sum to theatrical tableside preparations. Your group will feast on dishes like miso-glazed Chilean sea bass and crispy duck while surrounded by some of the most Instagram-worthy interiors in Chelsea—it's dinner as immersive experience.
