Why go

Yingtao is a $$$$ Chinese restaurant with a 4.4 Google rating from 245 reviews and a notable Blackbird footprint: 2,097 all-time on-chain check-ins. Blackbird activity is busiest on Friday and Saturday, and highlighted reviews describe a refined room suited to tasting menus, bar seats, and group dinners.

One repeat diner called the 7-course tasting menu a great value and liked the à la carte bar experience; another found the meal polished but somewhat inconsistent for the price. Translation: go for the upscale mood, cocktails, wine list, and curiosity factor—expect ambition, not guaranteed perfection.
