With the decor of backlit gold bottles at the bar and dirty large circular fixtures on the side walls, it is trying too hard to be upscale but comes off as tacky. The chairs are velvet and starting to look filthy. The food here was mid at best. The crab cakes were cold in the center and tasted like they had been microwaved. I thought the jerk wings were decent, if not a bit dry. The cocktails were good, we did the Lavender 75, but their presentation was so dead for a 20$ cocktail. They were served with a couple slices of dried lemon and a sprig of lavender with a small plastic straw floating askew in the glass. It seemed like it was our server's first time working, as she just didn't have the intuition and perception down and kept trying to get us to order more drinks after we said no more. She kept coming back and leaving because she forgot what we needed or had ordered. This was an overpriced and underwhelming experience for me and I will not be coming back.

We started with the Sweet Chili Wings, and they were flavorful and perfectly sauced just the right amount of sauce, with the added spinach giving it an extra touch. We then ordered the Land Lover for my mom. The portion was generous and beautifully presented in a large margarita glass. My sister ordered the four-piece Lamb Chop Rasta Pasta, which was creamy, rich, and well-seasoned.I ordered the Jerk Chicken meal, and I truly enjoyed it. The grilled jerk chicken was fresh, well-seasoned, and cut to perfection. It came with rice and peas and a fresh salad everything came together beautifully. Everything was phenomenal! Our drinks were good, the food was delicious, and the overall experience was wonderful. We did wait a little longer than normal for our food, but honestly, the quality and flavor made up for the wait. You can't rush perfection!

Tabú has been on my restaurant list for nearly two years, so I was genuinely excited to finally…read morevisit for my friend's birthday. Based on what I had seen online, I expected a beautiful restaurant with great food and service. Unfortunately, the experience was the complete opposite. We arrived at 8:45 PM and immediately encountered problems. After ordering, we waited approximately 45 minutes just to receive our drinks and a very small appetizer. During that entire time, no one came to our table to acknowledge the delay, provide an update, or apologize for the wait. When I finally brought it up to our waitress, her response was simply that they were "busy." I completely understand that restaurants can get busy, but that does not excuse the lack of communication or basic customer service. What made it even more frustrating was that we were seated in the back area, and we watched every other table around us receive their food, finish their meals, pay, and leave, while we were still waiting. At that point, I asked multiple times to speak with a manager. Despite asking repeatedly, no manager came to our table. Eventually, our waitress, who had been extremely rude and inattentive throughout the experience, told us that she was the manager. That was honestly even more concerning. If you are the manager, you should be the person taking responsibility for a situation like this, communicating with your customers, and making an effort to resolve the issue, not avoiding the table until repeatedly asked. We then specifically requested to speak with the General Manager on duty, and once again, we were left waiting. By the time the GM finally came over, we had been waiting roughly three hours for our entrées. The GM told us he would "take care of us." Unfortunately, that did not amount to much. Four drinks were comped, two of which were simply Cokes, and a "complimentary" birthday dessert was essentially dropped off at the table. Even the utensils were brought over and dropped off in a way that felt dismissive rather than hospitable. I rarely leave negative restaurant reviews. In fact, I usually try to give restaurants the benefit of the doubt, even when service is poor. It takes a lot for me to feel compelled to write a review this lengthy. This experience was not simply about a long wait. It was the complete lack of communication, accountability, urgency, and genuine customer service. Mistakes and delays happen in the restaurant industry. What matters is how you handle them. Unfortunately, Tabú handled this situation extremely poorly from beginning to end. And after everything, the food itself was mediocre at best, which made the entire experience even more disappointing. I had been looking forward to visiting Tabú for nearly two years, and unfortunately, it did not come close to living up to the expectations created by its online presence. I will not be returning, and I strongly encourage management to reevaluate how customer complaints, service delays, and guest experiences are being handled.
