A word from Art Restaurant & Lounge at the Four Seasons Seattle
ART Restaurant and Lounge Inspired by the Hotel's collection of works by the Northwest's foremost contemporary artists, its proximity to Seattle Art Museum and our chef's creative flair, ART Restaurant and Lounge celebrates authentic Pacific Northwest cuisine with unique global influences. With… a setting as thoughtfully designed as a work of art, the restaurant's interior is a highly detailed sculpture featuring woods native to the Pacific Northwest. Floor-to-ceiling windows offer sweeping views of Elliott Bay and the Olympic Mountains. Acclaimed local chef Kerry Sear returns to Four Seasons with his best-source approach, which incorporates fresh, locally produced ingredients into menus designed for a signature dining experience. Sear works with local organic growers, foragers and independent specialists to introduce an unexpected twist to Northwest fare. Continued

Diner Reviews
  • "Nice ambiance, somewhat of a view, limited brunch menu. Great location for activities downtown."
    Dined on 3/9/2014
  • "This is an expensive, high-end restaurant in one of Seattle's most expensive hotels, the Four Seasons. We had a reservation for 2 at 6:30. I called at 5pm to see if we could move our time up to 6pm. I was told it wasn't possible. We arrived at 6:15 and were told to wait in the lobby until our table was ready. At 6:30, we were ushered into a half-empty dining room and seated one table over from a family of five, including a crying baby and a loud, squirming toddler. NOTE: I am a mother. I like kids. I often took my little one out to dine, but not at a fine dining$$$$ high-end restaurant. I felt bad for the kids, bad for the patrons, and annoyed at the parents.... But the real issue for me was the empty room and us left waiting in the lobby"
    Dined on 3/1/2014
  • "For fine dining in Seattle, Art Restaurant is a must. It's elegant but low key, and the food is amazing."
    Dined on 3/1/2014
  • "I have eaten at ART quite a number of times, both at lunch and at dinner. The food ranges from good to excellent, but too often lately, it is just good when it should be better. Menu items are sometimes interesting and inventive, sometimes just well-made but without anything special about them. We talked over dinner about how much better the Georgian Room was at the Old Four Seasons (and still is, for that matter). In my experience the food there is uniformly excellent."
    Dined on 2/28/2014
  • "Food was pretty good along with the service. The waitress was so quite we could hardly hear her. We ordered a side with the meal, which didn't show up. The waitress said there was a mistake somewhere. It showed up after we had finished our meals. They did not offer to compensate for the screw up, which other quality restaurants do."
    Dined on 2/8/2014
  • "Art has great food and a quiet atmosphere. My friends and I enjoyed being able to talk in a normal voice and not shout over the din of a restaurant. It wasn't so quiet that you could hear other's conversations, just pleasantly calm and quiet."
    Dined on 2/6/2014
  • "We eat at Art fairly regularly. We had a great dinner this past week, with the smoked salmon appetizer, the gnocchi, and the steelhead trout being the stars. The chocolate cake with a side of Douglas fir sorbet was excellent! Service is always friendly and efficient, and the bar is a great place for after work."
    Dined on 2/5/2014
  • "Presentation was artsy and very fitting. Our waitress was attentive and kind."
    Dined on 1/30/2014
  • "ART restaurant was one of the best meals I have had in Seattle. We went here to celebrate my husband's birthday. We made a reservation and the staff was so thoughtful in recognizing the celebration we were having. They brought us a specialty dessert for his birthday and throughout the meal we had great service and food recommendations from our waiter. I cannot wait to return to this restaurant and I would recommend it to everyone."
    Dined on 10/28/2013
  • "at a first-rate hotel, our lunch delicious! Service was crisp and attentive-never cloying. Thank you for a delightful dining experience!"
    Dined on 1/21/2014
  • "Sunday Brunch is a delight at Art. Fresh ingredients and great spins on the usual brunch food. PS = leave room for the fresh donut holes."
    Dined on 1/19/2014
  • "A very classy and friendly atmosphere - everyone from the receptionist to the waiter and water servers were very attentive to our needs. Noise level was low so that we could enjoy our conversations without having to raise our voice. The food well presented and well prepared. Our special occasion was acknowledged in every ways. I highly recommend this restaurant for its excellent overall service, ambiance and food."
    Dined on 1/18/2014
  • "We ate at Art before going to the symphony. It was amazing. The food was great, as was the service. When they found out that we were going to the symphony, they made sure we had plenty of time without rushing us. There is a pretty view of the water. I really like how nice every one was and how special they made us feel. And, as I said, the food was wonderful"
    Dined on 1/16/2014
  • "Art never disappoints with it's food or service. From the time you get out of the car until the time you leave, you'll have fabulous service. The menu is always changing, which is never a bad thing and we always seem to find a new favorite."
    Dined on 1/15/2014
  • "This restaurant is inside the Four Seasons. The fish I had was good. The service was good-I would likely go once a year or so only though as there are some other great formal eateries in Seattle such as Canlis for example."
    Dined on 12/28/2013
  • "The view was interesting, but aside from the smoked salmon the food was unimpressive."
    Dined on 1/1/2014
  • "Our group had a wonderful dining experience. The menu selections for our Amazon Local offer were great. Enough variety to satisfy everyone at the table. The food is beautifully presented and the service is impeccable. Lovely view of the Big Wheel."
    Dined on 12/29/2013
  • "We spent a Christmas Eve morning just to ourselves - having an intimate breakfast here. My husband wanted to see how they did their juicing and the waiter and the kitchen staff cheerfully accomodated him. We love their museli! We had wonderful, friendly service! Thank you!"
    Dined on 12/24/2013
  • "Phenomenal service. Food was surprisingly a little bland, but the excellent service made up for it!"
    Dined on 12/23/2013
  • "The service is what you would expect of the Four Seasons, with every attention to detail taken care, from placing our coats in a secure area to folding our napkins when we left the table for a moment. It was outstanding and we felt very pampered by the friendly staff. It was perfect for our special night out as a family for the holidays. The special homemade ice creams were wonderful for desert as were the freshly made donut holes, even though it was a bit surprising as a menu item at an upscale restaurant."
    Dined on 12/17/2013
  • "What a lovely restaurant to dine! Food, service and ambiance were perfect for us. Good for groups. Romantic for a special occasion. Chef Kerry Sear is doing a fantastic job with the kitchen creations!"
    Dined on 12/13/2013
  • "Having been to Art many times before the quality seems to have gone down hill. The host told us our table was not ready when we walked back to the bar and look into the resturant there where plenty of tables. I am ok with them trying to sell you a drink while you wait but don't forget my name and make we wait 15 past my reservation and make me come find you to be seated. The fish was clearly previously frozen. When the food came out I have never had a piece of fish that was so hot in the middle that you had to let it cool to eat it... Something's fishy there. There view is great hope they turn it around soon"
    Dined on 12/13/2013
  • "this is our new favorite restaurant. we need someplace close for the concerts at benaroya. my husband was tired of wild ginger and we LOVED everything about this place"
    Dined on 12/12/2013
  • "Although Seattle traffic made us very late past our reserved time, we were warmly greeted, and service throughout the evening was excellent. Our server was attentive throughout our entire experience. The meal was also quite good. We chose Art because the Purple Café could not accommodate our schedule. I would rate this restaurant more favorably than Purple. We now have a new favorite on nights that we attend the symphony."
    Dined on 12/10/2013
  • "We used our Amazon voucher and enjoyed a wonderful 3-course meal. Every course was excellent and the service is the best in town. Among the favorites - the lemon merengue pie and the beef carpaccio."
    Dined on 12/8/2013
  • "We had a wonderful time with a delicious meal and great service. The staff was very attentive, taking care of details and providing "extras"."
    Dined on 12/6/2013
  • "Seattle traffic made us quite late for a special pre-concert dinner with our granddaughter. The maitre-d and our waitress couldn't have been more helpful. Our dinners were very good and, thanks to the staff, we did not feel rushed. And they made a young lady feel very special. The reservation system, however, failed to give the restaurant a reservation change we had made nearly 24 hours ahead of time so they were expecting us even earlier."
    Dined on 12/6/2013
  • "Interesting experience. Contemporary design - ceiling lights change from red to green to blue to purple. Beautiful view. Mixed reviews on the dishes. Butternut squash bisque with cous cous was terrible. Salads and entrees were fabulous topped only by the desserts. Overall experience was worth a return visit."
    Dined on 12/4/2013
  • "Lovely restaurant, if not quite bit too evenly lit. Great view. Exceptional service at every moment. Perfect in fact If the food was better, this could be the go-to place in Seattle. Food was getting good, nothing offensive, but nothing delightful either."
    Dined on 10/28/2013
  • "This was our second time at Art. from the moment you step up yo the door, their are two people to open the door and welcome you. The hostess took our coats and also took the names of my guests and from then on they addressed to us by our last names. A very welcome and appreciated consideration. As before, the food was of the highest quality and the experience of eating there was "very civilized dining". I highly recommend Art when you want to have an intimate dinner."
    Dined on 11/24/2013
  • "I always enjoy eating at ART. The personnel wants to make sure you enjoy the time and are very attentive. I also like the fact that it is quiet!!"
    Dined on 11/24/2013
  • "The service was outstanding. They went out of their way to make us feel so special! Even though we had an Amazon Local coupon you treated us the same as any other diner paying full price. This was the best service we have experienced in a long time!"
    Dined on 11/23/2013
  • "I really wanted to like Art. Really. Dinner started well with house made corn chips with a tomatillo salsa that was more subcontinent than New World. Nice. Things went downhill from there. The beet salad was unremarkable. The claimed accompaniment, apricot bread, is thinly sliced, ebaked apricot quick bread, but you'd never know it if the menu hadn't said. No discernible apricot flavor. Butternut squash bisque was thin. Not bad, but not outstanding. The chanterelle/leek gnocchi was OK, but we'd just had a superb gnocchi the week before in Vancouver, BC-- no comparison. The evening's real disappointment was the breaded and deep-fried crab bites. Was it really crab? The menu said Dungeness, but it was tasteless."
    Dined on 11/21/2013
  • "I used Art for an introductory lunch with a prospective business relationship. My guest is well-heeled and sophisticated. Art is an ideal place for this type of lunch. Excellent and attentive service, lovely environment, and sophisticated food."
    Dined on 11/19/2013
  • "A perfectly ordinary meal with very good service efficiently executed. Perhaps it was the constraint of the dinner being discounted, but then why run a promotion."
    Dined on 11/14/2013
  • "The food was exceptional although not overly generous. They accommodated gluten and dairy allergies well. My only negative is that the pacing ws very hurried on a slow night. Even the hostess was shocked. In and out in about forty five minutes made me feel very rushed. Enjoyed the view of the Ferris wheel and the ferries."
    Dined on 11/13/2013
  • "My sister and I ate there after we'd been to the spa. It was so relaxing and with such wonderful fish dishes. She had the curry salmon and I had the halibut with tomato & tapenade."
    Dined on 11/10/2013
  • "I chose this restaurant for its convenient location and quiet ambiance, as I had invited friends I hadn't seen in awhile. I was surprised and disappointed in the poor quality of the food. We all ordered eggs benedict and received nothing but the eggs and a bit of lettuce on our plates. The salmon benedict choice was too salty. Side dishes of hash browns and banana bread cost extra, and were nothing special. We also ordered non-alcoholic drinks, for about $8 each. If one wanted just a drink, maybe this place would be a good choice, as the view is nice and it is quiet. However, I wouldn't go to this restaurant again if I was hoping for a good meal."
    Dined on 11/10/2013
  • "The restaurant is located downtown with a very nice view of the Ferris wheel and Elliott Bay. This is definitely a restaurant for more formal dining or celebrations. The staff are very friendly and accommodating, though some of the service staff are a bit more formal than is strictly necessary. The food is delicious: many of the ingredients (if not all) are organic and (when possible) locally-sourced, Every dish was fresh with a unique taste and thoroughly enjoyable - even the fish was perfect. This is a wonderful restaurant that we will be visiting in the future and I recommend to others. The complimentary valet parking made the experience even better!"
    Dined on 11/2/2013
  • "We visit Art a few times a year and are always impressed with the food quality and service. While the staff was welcoming and attentive, they were not their usual stellar selves. The food was tasty, but not excellent as we've come to expect. Perhaps an off night. Not enough of a disappointment to keep us from returning, but concerned that standards may be slipping."
