What Lesley Parker doesn't like about Taxim:
The food was good, but service was very slow and not well timed. We dined early Friday evening, and the restaurant was not full when we arrived. After the initial greeting from our server, it was a long time before she returned to take our order. Our bottle of wine arrived after we finished our appetizer. View all feedback. What Gianna Esposito likes about Taxim:
Such a lively fun rooftop Food was excellent Servers are extremely nice but stretched to the limit so breathe and relax It's worth the wait. Sea bass is fabulous as was the okra and the eggplant appetizers. Good wine offerings by the bottle too Time flew. Our server Jacob was terrific View all feedback.

Good drinks, nice ambiance, good food. (As is everywhere right now), it seemed understaffed so service was slow and it wasn’t as clean as one might hope. That s...

Taxim offers a lovely atmosphere with great service, although guests should note the automatic 22% gratuity charge added to the bill. Wine recommendations are top-notch, but some dishes like the sea bass may leave diners wanting more. Despite mixed reviews, diners enjoyed the shared plates and entrees, especially for groups. The waitstaff received both praise and criticism, with some finding them fantastic and knowledgeable, while others were disappointed with their attitude. The rooftop space is a highlight, even in winter, with heaters and coverings available. The food consistently received high marks for flavor and quality, with standout dishes like hummus and lamb shank. While service may vary, many diners expressed their intention to return for the delicious food and enjoyable atmosphere.
