About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Fancy
Great for fine wines

Taking "dinner and a show" one step further as dinner is the show with the state-of-the-art animated dining experience by award-winning TableMation Studios™.

Guests can expect a whimsical, first-of-its-kind evening as the animation (beamed from overhead 4k laser projectors) intertwines with each dish of the 4-course meal. As the lights go out, the guest's table will come to life right before their eyes while animated ingredients and characters interact across their plates. Each course, curated by Ciclo Restaurant, has been cleverly crafted to coincide with the program's storyline to create a fully immersive experience.

The experience includes a premiere spot at the communal dining table (in custom-outfitted dining room), a 4-course meal with delicacies ranging from tuna tartare to steak ravioli, and a complimentary welcome cocktail. In addition, story-worthy wine pairings are available for those looking to sip along with the show.

First and foremost, the service and food was TOP NOTCH. We were lucky enough to go on a night that it was just the two of us at the table so it was very intimate and laid back. I have nothing negative at all to say about either one of those aspects. We truly loved our night out and our server went above and beyond! The actual digital “show” was unfortunately pretty bad and took away from the idea of a special evening. A good idea in theory, but executed very poorly. It seemed more like something you would find at a kitschy tourist trap restaurant for children (ie cartoon characters, potty humor, etc) most definitely NOT the Four Seasons, it seems very oddly out of place. Thus, I was torn on my review. If you removed the actual digital dining it was great albeit pricey for what it was. The server and food more than made up for what the show was lacking so overall I’m very happy. Will definitely go back to Ciclo again, but not for the Animacion. Not worth it.

Would not recommend and not worth the price at all. I got sick from food and you have to eat with strangers.

Service was fantastic but the music and the animation was terrible. Being that this was at the Four Seasons, I was expecting much more than an Orlando style experience.

We loved the food and the staff was wonderful. The animation element was very childish, so not what we were expecting for an adult only date night with a $$$$ price tag. I would recommend the meal, just without the animation addition.

Don’t do this, save the money. I see the concept but it reminded me of a bad children’s movie that should have been paired with chicken nuggets versus mediocre fine dining.

Both the food and the service were excellent. The animation is fun and interesting, but a little bit cheesy.
