    Love the black milk tea. Just the right amount of tea and milk. So far my go to milk tea spot near water gardens.

    Get a turkey burger with either seasoned potato chips or sweet potato fries and green tea for the perfect lunch.

    Their Mojito is delicious light, refreshing and they use herbs from their own garden!

    The tuna melt was fabulous, and my friend equally enjoyed their soup and grilled cheese. Little pricey, but you get what you pay for.

    For V-Day, whether you're single, coupled or grouped: mix and match from a "Cupid's Club" menu with such drool-inducers as bacon-wrapped dates with spicy plum sauce and coconut prawns.

    The word "tiato" means "last resort" in Italian. So when you're looking for a place to eat, Tiato should be your "tiato."

    Salads for lunch are great here, and not VERY expensive (only a little).

    Nice patio & service. Food just okay, wine pretty good. Considering the location, it would be a place for business meetings.

    Patio and inside decor are gorgeous. Unfortunately the food was overpriced and dishes were served lukewarm or cold. Shrimp tasted old and their famous garlic noodles were bland. Go someplace else!

    The ambiance is gorgeous, and this place has a lot of potential. But the food is sub par, and the service is iffy. My tip would be to avoid taito if you can

    Avoid this place like the plague, unless you like over-salted food, not-so-fresh vegetables, reheated/microwaved food, and servers who mix-up orders.
