"I just wanted to drop you a quick note to let you know how extraordinary our experience was at the special dinner you created for the publishers of the City Regional Magazine Association. As you may suspect, this group gets around. The publishers visit the other members' cities on a rotating conference basis, allowing us the pleasure of many special dining experiences. In the 10 years I have been on the CRMA conference circuit, I have never enjoyed a dinner more thoroughly. Outstanding! So, too, I might add was the exemplary service. Another Wow! I will recommend your restaurant without hesitation. Moreover, I cannot wait to get back for another 'Taus' creation."
— Steve Fox, publisher, Minnesota Monthly
