Waited for 15 minutes for the waitress. They’re understaffed. I wasn’t expecting this service on a Four Seasons. The food was good but not memorable.

I started with the Mediterranean salad and a basket of fresh bread. Both were excellent. For my main, I ordered veal Parmesan with Rigatoni and a Pomodoro sauce. The sauce was excellent.
