It is clear that Taurus is on a decline. 3 tables filled on a Friday evening. And after dining there, I can see why. If it wasn’t for the kind service, I would’ve notched it down to a single star.
This is supposedly a “hip” steakhouse. Yes, they have the music going, the interior design boasting an industrial club-like vibe. But at the end of the day, it is an expensive high-end steakhouse. Which means, you simply cannot afford to serve non-tasty beef.
We started with the oysters. Acceptable but not super fresh as far as I can tell. They were big though. The mushroom risotto fared better but the entire thing was just layered with cheese. It was tasty like a fast-food, not elegantly balanced. But the final deal-breaker was the ribeye steak. When you order a $71 steak, you want it to be tender and marbled. This thing was literally a stack of cardboards. Tough and unsalted. Their “Zabuton” or wagyu steak was much better, but it came out cold.
And all of this food came out so late… I’d say we waited almost an hour while there were only 2 other tables filled. The excuse we got was they ran out of French fries so they were bringing it from somewhere outside. You must be kidding me.
This is a steakhouse that tried to be hip in Laurel St. but has failed miserably beyond belief. Go to Town instead right across. Learned my lesson. Won’t be returning.

The oysters plate were so fresh. The server said they are from Japan. Not extremely happy with a stake . Fried ube? was so good that comes w/ diced tuna. And fried potatoes comes with stake were so good.

Dinner 7-9-20. Our Rib eye and filet mignon was perfectly cooked at medium rare and seasoned very well. The octopus and herb salad were great appetizers. We had cheesy fries, broccolini and mashed potato which were all wonderful. Baklava dessert was fantastic. We did not leave anything on the plates, it was do good. Great evening with great service. Will be back again for sure!

Wow. After years of searching for a great steakhouse on the Peninsula, I can finally say I’ve found something good. I was skeptical but after reading through Yelp reviews I decided to give it a shot and I’m glad I did.
Overall, this place was great. We went during the COVID quarantine, so we sat outside in the middle of Laurel St and ordered off a limited menu. I will say upfront that the service suffered. I hope this was due to the fact that they had just reopened for seated meals and not a lasting issue. We didn’t get any walkthrough of the menu / meat types and despite mentioning ahead of time that it was our anniversary, there was no acknowledgement of the milestone.
That said, the food delivered. We ordered a spinalis wagyu, a dry-aged NY strip, shishito peppers, and broccolini. I drank rosé and my partner drank Port Charlotte. Each steak was served on a wooden board, which brought a more casual feel to the otherwise fancy meal. The steaks were perfectly cooked. We ordered both rare – medium rare. The NY strip was good, but it just didn’t compare to the buttery, melt-in-your-mouth flavor of the wagyu. Barely needed a knife! The shishitos were standard, though I enjoyed how thick the dipping sauce was on the side, and I got quite a few spicy ones. The broccolini was unique, served with shallots and ponzu sauce, and it was the kind of dish where I wanted to just drink the sauce.
Overall, I was pleasantly surprised by Taurus. I’d definitely return for special occasions and I hope to see service that blows us away next time.

Scrumptious, yummy food, with balanced portions that made me full enough without feeling bloated. We order pork belly, steaks, and sides to share. I really enjoyed the carrots, and love how they sliced our cuts for us. Watching the wagyu being cooked was fun, too. We also had some cocktails, which had really fun cups for each type of drink, and were all pretty delicious, though sweet. I found it interesting that we had to ask for bread service, but I guess it’s not an olive garden or anything so . Also, if we got too full on bread I don’t think we’d appreciate the meal as much. Lastly, we shared some cake and I had an Affogato, which I appreciated they had decaf espresso; I didn’t know that was a thing. I reserved the table on open table, I think, and added that it was for a birthday and asked for desert for the birthday boy. I was surprised that they brought our table a round of Prosecco, and gave the birthday boy a crème brûlée with a candle.
Oh, and they change the menu every couple months, so just check if you’re pining for something in particular if that’s a deal breaker or not to choosing this restaurant.
It was quite empty on a Thursday evening, and the food is pricey, but we left feeling satisfied and happy we chose Taurus.

I can’t say enough good things about Taurus steakhouse. If you’re a foodie, try it out for sure! My server, Ian, recommended the best drink and good pairings I’ve had in a long time! Thanks so much Ian! I will definitely be back.

It’s such a surprise to find this great restaurant! We came there around 9:30PM for night food, and it turned out we made a wise choice. The chef’s special (Japanese wagyu combo) is soooooooo wonderful, with soft and juicy wagyu in perfect seasonings!! The grilled mushroom and shishito peppers
are also very very tasty! I would like to give it 10/10! Highly recommend!!

We had a lovely date night here and befriended the amazing sommelier Ian Ranney — and when we realized that our next date night was going to be in two weeks on April 1, I asked if they would be doing to create a custom menu for April Fool’s Day.
They obliged and created a hilarious menu with a first course of “cupcakes” (actually Wagyu meatballs with mashed potato) and so on. What fun! Superb service. Delicious food. And one of the most fun sommeliers I’ve ever met.

We checked out this restaurant during their soft opening. There is a process before ordering where they introduce you to all the types of meat on the menu. It gives perspective in what you are ordering. Highly recommend the Taurus wagyu, prime rib, need tartare, truffle potato salad and heirloom tomato with burrata.

There are few high end steakhouses that can take your breath away with rare cuts selections, professionally prepared and served by the chef. This recently opened gem of a restaurant delivered on all of our expectations and then some. Wagyu from Japan, Australia and more. Their case had me drooling. And everything delivered. It may be $$$$ but we went as a group to celebrate a few birthdays and the experience was worth the price. As your servers for their advice and eat family style. Extensive wine, bourbon and whiskey selections as well. We will be back soon.
