Aren't DMV Appointments non-transferrable?

While it's true that appointments are technically not transferable, for DMV Appointments the transfer service is included for buyers at no cost. The transfer team has both - the sellers and the buyers dmv information, so it can cancel the sellers appointment and then rebook under the buyers name. Should something not work out the Appointment Trader Money Back guarantee will kick in. In any event you won't be turned away when you go to the DMV as the Appointment will be in your name.

I love it. I visited this restaurant with my friend for my bachelorette party and we had fun, food, drinks are good. The staff is nice.

This is a late post but my friends and I decided to come

1/5 by Dominique R. on 04/06/2022

This is a late post but my friends and I decided to come here after a day full of bars and rose mansion. We got seated on the top level, which was great because of the entire view of the restaurant!Here comes the reason for the one star- it took our waitress 45 mins to come and acknowledge us and ask for drinks. I got up twice to ask the hostess in the front if she could have our server come! After 45 mins, she came by took our drink orders and appetizers. We waited another 30-40 mins for our drinks to come. At this point, we were getting annoyed so we walked up to the bar ourselves and got our drinks. When we got back to our booth, the waitress walked by didn't even acknowledge or seemed to care. She finally bought us our drinks but at that point we told her to take them back because we went and got them ourselves. We finally ordered some main course dishes. But after an hour, we asked the hostess to speak to the manager and told him to cancel the food because it had been and hour and we hadn't received any of our dishes or even our appetizers. I get that it was a busy Saturday night but tables around us that were seated after us were receiving their food and drinks promptly. So why was our table being underserved and not paid attention too. After the manager came, he apologized and told us he would comp our bill, which was nice but we didn't even get anything we ordered. We ended up going back to our friends apartment and ordering Uber eats. I have been to the Tao in Chicago and have to say the customer service is by far the best and it doesn't matter what time or day you go! This location in New York needs to fix their customer service and hire waitress that want to work.

I wanted to not like dinner here because I think of this as a night club. I was wrong. Food was great. On par with Buddakan. The waygu ribeye and chicken dumplings were particular highlights. Ribeye came with a fun and delicious side of six different dipping sauces. Oof.

Good food, rubbish service

4/5 by average_jo_veggie on 03/03/2022

We went for my birthday and had visited Tao several years before and were excited to return.
It’s a buzzing, beautiful space and a really great venue, but the service was shocking! The waiter missed half of our order (luckily it didn’t end up on the bill), he spilt oil down my husbands blazer as he was removing the plates. He often seemed to have forgotten that we were still there, and at the end I ordered a herbal tea. He took ages and then came back and said they didn’t have the tea I’d ordered from the menu and this was the closest he had and just plonked it on the table, not even telling us what it was 😂
The food was great and I really enjoyed the dj, but come on - how can you not bring us half of the food we ordered?!

🙂

I came here with my boyfriend for our last dinner in new

4/5 by Desiree B. on 03/01/2022

I came here with my boyfriend for our last dinner in new york, we've been to the LA location so decided we'd try this one out. The restaurant itself is gorgeous, I love all the cultural decor they use and how luxurious and vibey it feels in their restaurants. This location is pretty similar to the one in LA but the food options are somewhat different. They were out of orange chicken which totally sucked but the waitress was really sweet and recommended some other dishes. Overall drinks were good, food was tasty, bill was average. I would definitely come back but I'm still looking for my go to dish here, nothing has amazed me yet.

😒

It was OK

I visited Tao in February , It still looks the same but the food lacks flavor BUT the drinks were amazing , over priced but amazing.

Absolutely come here if you're visiting NYC or just wanting

5/5 by Kathleen H. on 02/27/2022

Absolutely come here if you're visiting NYC or just wanting to ball out and celebrate something. It is SO cool. You walk into this place and it feels like you are in another dimension, the aesthetic is so well done. Plenty of photo opps, and the place doubles as a club at 11pm. We came here for a birthday dinner celebration for 12 people. We booked this reservation exactly one month in advance of our date since that's the earliest they would allow. This got us the best table in the restaurant, elevated on a stage in the front by the massive Buddha statue. I felt like royalty and didn't even have to pay extra for this, DO THIS if you're celebrating with a big group! Everything is pricey here and tabs can run up quickly, but the move is to order family style and share across the rotatable centerpiece. We had around 20 dishes come through across three courses, along with a couple drinks each, and the bill was still under 100 for each of us. We asked the waitress for recs and got to try her favorites along with the most popular dishes the restaurant had. I am SUPER picky about my asian food, but I truly enjoyed this place through and through. Recommendations: If you like spice, get the Mango chili martini. This is seriously unlike anything I've had before, it tastes like it could be my full meal. I could go on about this drink!!My other favorites: the shrimp tempura and spicy tuna tartare on crunchy rice appetizer. These tastes are unreal we were all so shook. This is probably my new favorite restaurant. I had such a great experience. Dinner lasted until around 11:45pm, and the entire dining area was still completely full. I loved the fun fortunes they gave us at the end. We went to the night club after dinner and this was awesome as well. Thank you Tao!

came here with a large group for a birthday party (14

3/5 by Jacqueline N. on 02/24/2022

came here with a large group for a birthday party (14 people) and they were able to accommodate us since we made a reservation about 2 weeks in advance. the setting was interesting- pretty dark so good if you want more privacy, but it was very loud. it was hard to talk to others without raising your voice, especially since we all sat around a huge table (which was unavoidable due to our party size). it felt like eating dinner at a nightclub, which is fine if that's more your style. the food was decent. a friend described it as "overpriced panda express," which I partially agree with. it's definitely better than panda express, but still pretty mediocre and definitely not worth the price. the service wasn't spectacular either, but I'll cut them some slack since it was a huge venue. it was a fine experience, but I wouldn't come again, especially for a special occasion.

🤮

literally zero stars.

1/5 by gabriella s. on 02/18/2022

...the restaurant is gorgeous however food was terrible and service was terrible as well. The waiters didn't check up one us not once considering we were there to spend a lot of money I would expect them to at least try to make us enjoy our night. Not only that but waiters were very rude and not friendly. I also ate something and chopped my tooth. Overall overrated and terrible.

🤢

I had a 5pm reservation on Valentine's Day.

2/5 by Kayla P. on 02/15/2022

It was not so crowded when we got there, however the service was unbelievably rushed. We sat down, they hand us a menu, 2 mins later they ask us if we are ready. We asked for 10 minutes to look over the menu. Finally we ordered our food, 5 mins we got our appetizers, we finished, took our plates the second they saw we were down, 10 mins after our main course. Half way into eating our food, they ask if we want to go boxes. I'm trying to have a romantic night, and getting rushed out. The worst part was our seats. We are sat right next to the waiters corner. A crowd of around 7-9 waiters and bus boys standing around talking and laughing right next to us. Try to come to a nice restaurant and got mediocre service and food. Chicken was unbelievably chewy, rather order Chinese takeout than come back here.

😍

From the moment you walk in, the energy is great. Love the sake flights. The food is delicious! I've been here a few times and the wait has never been too crazy. I have had to wait over an hour at TAO midtown just to be seated, with reservations.

2/5 by Marisa J. on 02/04/2022

Now that I've experienced this location I Highly Recommend the Tao Uptown Location!! This downtown location isn't worth it!! Bad crowd and service was Horrible! My fiancé n I only saw the waitress twice! Once to get our order and then to get her attention at end of our meal. Their must've been at least 5 staff that walked right by us and all we wanted was a refills for water. I was ready to get dessert but it was frustrating trying to get a staffs attention that I wanted to leave. The waitress finally came to our table to see that we wanted to pay n leave. I couldn't wait to leave.

Not only did I spend a lot of money they literally had a MOUSE and did nothing about it. The manager was so rude he was telling us we had to leave when we saw a small white mouse running underneath the benches. I am disgusted !!! I will never return and I want my money back this is a health hazard mice running around an eating establishment

I came to Tao with my friends on a Sunday night for

5/5 by Patricia T. on 02/02/2022

I came to Tao with my friends on a Sunday night for Restaurant Week, and I was very pleased with everything we ordered! I thought the Restaurant Week menu was a good deal, with 3 courses being $59. The average cost of each dish is around $20-25 or more. All of the decor, from the doors you enter to even the stairs, is enthralling. The lighting is dim, but not to the point where it's straight up annoying. With the Asian inspired decor, candles, and red/neutral color palette, there was a classy ambiance. I loved the 3 courses that I picked from the Restaurant Week menu. The Spicy Tuna Tartare on Crispy Rice was a good portion and was delicious. The Sushi Platter was also a good portion, but was probably my least favorite of the 3 dishes. The fish tasted fresh, but I'm not sure I'd consider this better than local sushi I've had. However, the dessert was a spectacular experience because the waiter puts dry ice underneath the Fuji Apple Sesame Ball dish, which makes it seem like steam was coming out of the bamboo basket. It really seemed like you were getting sesame balls at a dim sum restaurant, but it had a dessert twist to it. This was also a good portion and very tasty, not overwhelming sweet. I think I prefer this dessert over actual sesame balls.Overall, I highly recommend that you go to Tao for Restaurant Week for the best bang for your buck, but I would also love to come back for a fancy date night or to try more of their attractive offerings!

Rude staff, poor service and average food

1/5 by baiterskater on 01/16/2022

I booked this place after it being recommended by a friend (he went 5 years ago and said it was very good). When myself and my partner arrived we were greeted by the two security staff outside who were totally uninterested by us and continued talking about their various illegal activities. We then walked in and were seated. The tables are far too tightly packed in so you can barely hear yourself think with so much noise around. Service was poor and you had to get up to get somebody to take your order. The food was very average and the ribs tasted really weird. Concept with the fried rice inside the egg parcel is cool and was quite nice. Also incredibly expensive for what it is which is poor service and poor food.

🤮

Never again!

1/5 by Marjorie L on 01/11/2022

So much commotion over a place with average food (I fish and it was beyond salty) everything else eh whatever, I travel often so I know what I am talking about! That place is to drink and dance.

🤢

Overrated and not worthy

2/5 by c.c on 01/09/2022

They open at 17:00, we had a reservation at 17:00. We were there 16:55 and none at the door. When they opened at 17:00 they told us and a family with children next to us to wait outside until they are ready. If you value ur clients, you wait them with open doors half an hour before opening time. They don’t wait for when u r ready!
When we got inside, the restaurant is huge and beautiful, however service is chaotic. I had added in the notes that I am pregnant and will need a comfortable seat, they put me on a chair. When I asked to seat at the empty couch, they said they would inform me in a second, I am still waiting!
As for the food, their cod was not fresh, it had a weird smell, their noodles with shrimp had so many things inside, you wouldn’t get an overall taste. Their sushi was average. In general we didn’t enjoy our food as we expected.

😍

Tao Wow

5/5 by guseboy on 01/06/2022

What a great place! My family and I enjoyed a GREAT dinner at Tao’s. The service was incredible, our waiter was very helpful with food/drink suggestions. We started with Miso Clam Soupthen some Sushi rolls and the n onto the main course. We end the evening with a huge dessert tray. Overall great place to enjoy a dinner, but bring plenty of $$$$.

Appointment Trader

😍 5/5 Review by AcceptableParcel20 (03/24/2022 9:35 am)

Wow! First time using this website/app. It was almost hard to believe the quality of customer service I received as soon as I posted my offer. A private chat forum with me and the person helping me find the best option. Constant communication and a wonderful experience using Appointment Trader. I'm surprised it took me this long to find AT but this will now be my GO TO for hard to get restaurant reservations. It was like having my own private concierge.

Miami Beach Hot Spot Success!

My first experience using AT was awesome and the AT support saved the day! When my booking transfer initiated two days earlier but didn't complete by the day of the reservation, AT was able to expedite the transfer and confirm a table at Call Me Gaby in Miami Beach. Boss confirmed an excellent experience when he arrived and no issues to report. Thanks, AT! I will definitely be back and thank you very much for your prompt assistance!

Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?

Question by FluffyStar64 (07/09/2021 5:10 pm)

Best Answer It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!

Working on your bid?

Question by DemurePain59 (10/01/2021 1:24 pm)

Best Answer Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.

Process after bid is accepted.

Question by EvocativeFold67 (09/17/2021 8:11 pm)

Best Answer Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.

Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?

Question by ColorfulRod45 (07/13/2021 3:55 pm)

Best Answer Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.

What happens if my bid expires unanswered?

Question by FluffyStar64 (07/08/2021 5:55 pm)

Best Answer Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
