This place was very nice on the inside and has a great ambiance. That's the ONLY positive thing I can say. Ordered the lobster tomato bisque, tasted like it came straight from a cambells can with 3 pieces of lobster. My food tasted horrible. Ordered the pasta with chicken. The pasta tasted sour like the milk or cream they use for the sauce had gone bad. Chicken was very under seasoned. My husbands tacos were cold and the others in the group were dissatisfied with their meals as well. Paid lots of money to leave hungrier than before the meal had started.

I probably won't be back here. It took an hour for the food to come out. It was not busy. The food was warm not hot Server was a little slow. The food was good, just need to step it up a lot on food service and the waiters need to step up also. Oh and my appetizer came out after everybody's

This place was phenomenal! I give it a 10 out of 10! We came here for our four year, anniversary celebration, and I’m glad we decided to come to this restaurant. We sat on the bar side, and the bartender was also our waiter and he was amazing! The atmosphere itself was very fulfilling and welcoming, while also being relaxing and romantic. The food was so full of flavor, and cooked to perfection. The adult beverages were top-tier. I would highly recommend for a date night, girls, night, or even if you just wanna come alone and read your book.

Love the atmosphere and most of the food! Been 3 times since they opened! It’s decorated beautifully!! The only thing is the booths are so uncomfortable, they sink in and very lumpyWhich makes for an uncomfortable dining experience. Also, I got the table side Caesar the last time I went and it was honestly underwhelming. For $22 dollars plus $5 dollars for chicken the presentation was very disappointing. It did not look good and the lettuce should be cut up not long strips. The chicken was very dry and hard and didn’t come with any cheese or croutons. However the dressing was phenomenal tasting! I think if they worked on the presentation and didn’t forget half the ingredients a Caesar salad is supposed to come with it might’ve been much better.The shrimp appetizer is amazing!!! Definitely recommend!I’d like to see some different appetizers on the menu in the future that are good for sharing and kids.

The chef here knows what they are doing. Sushi selection is prestige. And the scallops while maybe a tad over priced, are served in a cilantro sauce that pairs perfectly. I'd recommend sipping a mojito prepared by the well trained bar staff while you enjoy your scallops and Nigiris. It is pretty pricy but you are paying for a great atmosphere as well. Would definitely recommend as a must go place for a date or business meeting. Hell, I went by my self and was very pleased. 10/5 stars on my word.

Amazing restaurant for Odessa, can't believe I waited so long to visit. Rockefeller Oysters were buttery perfection. Omaha Filet was pure bliss in my mouth paired with roasted garlic and chimi churri. Hubby ordered the Marcam Maki there are no words that would do this plate justice sushi lovers must come try it. Music and ambience take you away to another place of peace. Want to spoil your taste buds come to Taboo!

A small glass of iced tea, coffee cup size $2.50 and refills are charged again. No water served. Le Bube burger - not dressed - charged for extras - children's size portion. Pasta was ok - lacked flavor and shrimp in the pasta were plain, but well placed for presentation. The prices are outrageous and the portions are small. Prepare to pay out the bazooka. Atmosphere is pleasant and staff servers are kind and attentive. Overall, I will never eat here again. I paid well for the atmosphere and the staff.

Had reservations at 8pm. Arrive 8:01 due to traffic. They didn't have a table ready, so we had to wait, with another couple that had reservations. They gave us wine while we waited. I thought this was nice and things would get better. Finally got sat at 830. Orderd drinks and an appetizer. The appetizer showed up before the drinks. The oyster Rockefeller was good. When the drinks arrived, we put our order in. Ribeye rare and Filet Medium. At 9:45, our meal finally arrived. Ribeye was way past well, and Filet cooked to Medium. Sent the Ribeye back to the kitchen. 10 o'clock my Ribeye came back to the table missing sides but cooked correctly. Service was terrible by the time the manager came to check on our experience. I was done and just ready to leave.
