    This was a truly exceptional lunch experience. I was dining with a friend (we both work locally) and it exceeded our expectations from start to finish. Excellent food and service, and a stunning dining room with a relaxed ambience where the tables aren’t stacked on top of each other. I would highly recommend.

    Our reservation was at 2 and they gave us a table at 2:55pm Very basic and below average customer service. The worst experience on every level

    We waited an hour for our reservation after staff told us multiple times our table was being prepared for us. They also add a 30% gratuity which they do not mention

    Food was tasty but service was seriously lacking. We expected better service for the Four Seasons name.

    The Garden at the Four Seasons offers a primarily Italian menu with American and Sicilian influences. During our visit, we opted for the seafood pasta — one of the few options on the lunch menu that truly stood out. The dish was good, with fresh ingredients and balanced flavors, though it didn’t leave an overwhelming impression. One limitation worth noting is the lunch menu itself: it feels quite sparse and somewhat dated, with limited choices that may not excite a wide range of diners. That said, the ambiance is where The Garden truly shines. With live piano music from the adjacent bar providing a quiet, soothing backdrop, the setting is elegant and discreet — an ideal venue for business meetings or important conversations that require privacy and a relaxed atmosphere. The service was another highlight: the staff were exceptionally friendly, attentive, and made the experience very pleasant overall. While I wouldn't return solely for the food, I would certainly keep The Garden in mind as a reliable, quiet spot for a business lunch. It’s a nice discovery in the busy landscape of Midtown Manhattan.

    The service was top notch. The atmosphere was beautiful. The food was good - nothing special (particularly for the prices). The fresh orange juice and smoothies were amazing. Word of caution - they slip in a 20% gratuity on the bill - which they do not tell you about - and then give you a credit card receipt with 18%, 20% and 22% options for gratuity - on top of the 20% taxed gratuity that they already charged you for.
