The gentleman who took my coffee order and brought me water during breakfast service was outstanding. I gave him the tip for my entire bill. He was the star of the show. My server took my order and brought my food, then ignored me for over a half hour while my credit card sat on the check. The gentleman referenced above took care of me and found someone to process my payment. (I Imagine the gentleman who helped me - and provided the only customer service in the entire restaurant - is one of the lowest paid people on the payroll. Ironic that he’s the only one doing any work / caring about the guests.)

Not on par with what the Four Seasons brand usually brings to the table. If I happen to be in the neighborhood and need a quick drink I might stop in, otherwise I won’t come back or recommend

Food should be better. Coffee was watery, baked goods felt like they came from grocery store. Basket was a plate with three items. It’s not up to par with hotel reputation

Simply put it was all quality from house made pastas, the the wine selection, the incredible menu, the service, and the beautiful but unpretentious atmosphere. It was not just a meal but an experience. I had the best squid ink linguine with clams I’ve had outside of Harry’s in Venice, Italy but without the need to travel. The uni butter sauce that came with the linguine was a first and a perfect trifecta of seafood flavors that all worked together for one delectable and subtlely cohesive flavor unit. The all-pro server Rami, helped us pick an amazing white wine which paired with everything perfectly. I can’t recommend this spot enough.

Beautiful restaurant with delicious food and great service. The dealbreaker was that there was a huge influx of people at the bar, including kids, which changed everything. Who brings their kids to a bar on Saturday night? What kind of restaurant allows kids in their bar? I don’t want to hear kids screaming when I’m spending $200+ for a meal. Never again.

Pasta was tasteless (and this from a top promoted Italian place???) made for a mediocre meal with high prices. Expected better from a Four Seasons. Ambiance was lovely.

We had a great dinning experience last night! We are always pleased about the speculator service Four Seasons provides. The food service was great and all the staff members were excellent! There’s only one thing I wanted to point out. Perhaps add more items on the desert menu in the future. We usually order dessert to finish off our meal but the options on the menu was not to our liking.

Considering it was a brand new restaurant our party was unanimously impressed. Appetizers stellar. Entrees good, but not outstanding early on in the life of a new restaurant. Service was impressive. Open for all three meals a day.

Overall the food and service was very good. The yellowfin tuna small plate and roasted hen were excellent. The roasted hen does not come with any sides and the waiter forgot to mention that until it was brought out, but felt bad about that. The sparkling water is a total ripoff though, like $12 a bottle for sparkling water that sells for under $2, so come on. The cheese and charcuterie board was also good, but it was hard to know if that was going to be $60 or $30. It’s very dark in the restaurant and no views or outside windows. Also there was a little mixup as they had one bottle of wine on the menu with food, but then came back saying it was only in half bottles. After trying it in the half bottle it wasn’t good or remotely as good as I’ve had it in the past, but they took it away and were very nice about it.

Extremely overpriced, small portions of poorly prepared food. The cassoulet had one duck drumstick (no thigh), no sausages of any kind, and a few strips of what appeared to be thinly sliced ham. This was served over a small bowl of kidney beans with minimal sauce. The service and ambiance were ok, but the menu was extremely limited and overpriced. I think there were six starters and five entrees to choose from. The wine list was one page! Definitely not Four Seasons quality. Stay in the hotel and go out for dinner.
