Embrace Love
$65.00 per person
Feb 14 - Mar 14, 2023
Trifecta will Embrace Love this winter with plans to continue its popular cocktail tasting experience that launched in December 2022. Paired with a la carte entrees and specialty desserts, Embrace Love at Trifecta is an invitation to enjoy three bold, crafted winter cocktails highlighting Velo Vodka, a local woman-owned distillery from South Boston.

Gilded Green$18.00
Botanist Gin/Aquavit / Green Chartreuse / Celery-Tarragon Cordial. This cocktail is meant to emulate the breathtaking feeling of walking into the Ocean View room at the Breakers Mansion in Newport, Rhode Island. Looking out into the ocean you immediately feel, taste and smell the sea breeze and beauty that is the summer in Rhode Island. Tasting Notes: Fresh & Elegant
Tea Fête$20.00
Oolong Infused Ketel One/Santa Teresa Rum / Amontillado Sherry / Szechuan Peppercorn / Peanut. This cocktail is inspired by the famous paifang arch that sits at the edge of Beach Street, in the dynamic Chinatown neighborhood of Boston. The arch was built in 1982 and gifted to the city by the Taiwanese government. Capturing the flavors of a silkysmooth traditional Taiwanese milk tea, this cocktail blends a multitude of Chinese flavors. Tasting Notes: Rich & Bold
In the Clouds$13.00
Cucumber-Infused Seedlip Grove/Lime / Mint / Yuzu-Lime Soda. Displayed along the wall of Trifecta, "L.A. Exuberance" by Tacita Dean, is emulated in this cocktail. The light and airy feeling of the painting is mirrored by blending fresh ingredients with a touch of effervescence. It is the perfect way to welcome in the warm New England Summers. Tasting Notes: Tart & Refreshing
Herbaria$13.00
Kentucky 74/Lime / Ginger Beer / Seasonal Berries. This cocktail was inspired by one of Harvard Museum of Natural History's most treasured exhibitions "Glass Flowers" . The collection of over 4, 300 glass models represents 780 different plant species that are found worldwide. Using this as inspiration, the local bounties found during the warmer months in New England are incorporated with fresh local berries for this flavorful beverage. Tasting Notes: Cooling & Satisfying
Resistência$19.00
Drumshanbo Irish Gin/Aperol / Campari / Grapefruit Almond-Rhubarb Foam. Currently on display at the Institute of Contemporary Art, the "Swinguerra" exhibition by artists Bárbara Wagner & Benjamin de Burca, inspired la Resistência cocktail. Throughout the exhibit you will find 'documentary musicals' that shed light to disenfranchised queer communities of color in Brasil, specifically with an emphasis on transgender and non-binary performers. The playful and feminine presentation of this drink represents the upbeat music and sensual nature of the dances while the flavors pack a surprisingly powerful punch, speaking to the radical messaging subtly broadcasted by the performers. Tasting Notes: Nutty & Smooth
Salvadora$21.00
Butter-Washed Dos Hombres Mezcal/Reposado Tequila / Amaro Nonino / Corn / Lime. This cocktail is inspired by Frida Kahlo's "Dos Mujeres", a painting on permanent display at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. The image depicts Salvadora and Herminia, maids that worked in her mother's house when Frida was a little girl. At its inception, it was a powerful statement to celebrate the working class. Above is Frida Kahlo's Self Portrait with Small Monkey which is on display at Museo Dolores Olmedo, an art museum in Mexico City. This libation will transport you to the bustling streets of Mexico City, known for vibrant colors, powerful aromas and incredible flavors from the local bounty. This cocktail draws inspiration from a local favorite, Elote, pulling smokiness from the mezcal accentuated by sweetness and buttery notes from the corn. Tasting Notes: Citrusy & Buttery
Stir the Pot$21.00
Coconut-Infused Bacardi 8 Year/Rhum Agricole / Lime / Thai Basil Collet / Champagne. Featured along Essex Streetin Chinatown, by Thai artist, Ponnapa Prakkamakul, the "Where We Belong" mural paid inspiration to this cocktail. The mural features the powerful symbol of the dragon. Within East Asian culture, dragons symbolizes power, strength, and luck, "Where We Belong" is painted with bold shades of oranges and reds, also highlighting luck. This highball style cocktail uses bold Thai flavors to transform a classic into an unexpectedly unique drink. Tasting Notes: Fizzy & Tropical
Sweet Street$24.00
Monkey 47 Gin/Del Professore Classico / Amaro Nonino / Suze. Tony DeMarco's famous statue is located in Boston's North End neighborhood and pays tribute to his legacy in the boxing world. In 1998, the corner of Hanover Street and Fleet Street in the North End was renamed "Tony DeMarco Way" in his honor. In this cocktail we celebrate his Sicilian roots by using a combination of Italian ingredients that pack a subtle punch. Tasting Notes: Striking & Complex
Elixir$22.00
Milagro Reposado/Kiwi / Lime / Agave / Coconut & Activated Charcoal Foam. Inspired by Jaume Plensa's sculpture, "Alchemist," located at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Elixir represents how science plays a role in mixology. While Plensa's other works are made out of randomly arranged stainless steel letters of the alphabet, this work for MIT was created from numeric symbols as a homage to all the researchers and scientists that have contributed to scientific and mathematical knowledge. The sculpture features a seated figure with their knees drawn up to their chest as if in contemplation about all those who have come before us. Tasting Notes: Fruity & Earthy
Sombra$20.00
Mad River Revolution Rye/Amaro Montenegro / Amaro dell'Etna / Aquavit. On display at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, El Jaleo by John Singer Sargent, depicts a Spanish woman dancing feverishly to the music played by an accompanying band that is partially concealed by shadows. The painting is both beautiful and haunting with only a small splash of color standing out from the largely monochromatic piece. The drink emulates the darkness of the painting by pairing the rich and velvety texture of amaro with the more daring and bold flavors of chocolate rye and aquavit. Tasting Notes: Silky & Unexpected
Backdoor Progression$20.00
Del Maguey Vida Mezcal/California Falernum / Blend of Amaro / Smoke. Boston has a fascinating history with jazz music and is home to some of the most notable jazz clubs within the country. Some of the biggest stars in modern jazz have performed throughout the city including Chris Botti, Jamie Cullum, Norah Jones, Harry Connick Jr and Wynton Marsalis to name a few. As a tribute to the musical establishments in Boston that broadened the jazz culture of the city, Backdoor Progression features intriguing flavors that transport us to a dark and moody jazz club. Tasting Notes: Smokey & Bitter
Liquid Gold$21.00
Velo Vodka/Bombay Sapphire Gin / Domaine de Canton / Lichi-Li / Passionfruit Pearls. This cocktail pays homage to Valkyrie Mumbet, a stunningly beautiful piece created by Joana Vasconcelos on display at the MassArt Art Museum. Joana pays tribute to Elizabeth "Mumbet" Freeman, an enslaved woman whose court battle for her freedom in 1781 was pivotal in making slavery illegal in Massachusetts. In this cocktail, the star is Velo Vodka, a female-founded company operating in South Boston. The elegant visual presentation of this drink is met with a bold burst of bright flavor on the palate. Tasting Notes: Floral & Straightforward
Arabesque$20.00
Laurent-Perrier Champagne/Barr Hill Gin / Créme de Pamplemousse / Italicus. Inspired by E. Virginia Williams, founder of the Boston Ballet and the first professional ballet company in New England, Arabesque embodies a balance of softness and femininity, much like Williams herself who was a witty and unwavering leader but also possessed a timid side. It was through dance that Williams was able to release her inner emotions and come out of her shell. With her extreme passion for the art of dance and with a very clear image of what she wanted from her dancers; Williams was a visionary ahead of her time. Arabesque exemplifies all of these juxtapositions with a balance of lightness, elegance and unexpected flavors. Tasting Notes: Bubbly & Bright
Feeling Nostalgic$20.00
Don Julio Tequila/Fresno / Roasted Pineapple Shrub / Tamarind / Lime. This cocktail is inspired by "The Treasure House of Memory" which was created by Raul De Nieves and can be found at the Institute of Contemporary Art. He incorporates various mediums, textures, and found items to create beautiful and incredibly complex sculptures with the intention to play on the viewers memories. In this drink, we honor Raul's Mexican heritage by creating a cocktail made with familiar Mexican flavors balanced in an unexpected way and served in traditional Mexican pottery. Tasting Notes: Sweet & Spicy

Great service! Trifecta reached out to me via email a week before to inquire about allergies and to see if we had a child in our party to plan for accordingly. That was a nice touch and set the tone. The afternoon tea was a pleasant experience. The colorful tea pots and cups were so fun to drink from. They pair a liquor to go along with your choice of tea, along with a glass of champagne. Note: Tea is not loose, it comes in bags. Then the 3 tier of plates come out. Scones & jellies on the top tier, followed by savory and sweets on the bottom. We ended up bring some of the sweets home, it was a generous amount. The only comment that I had, which is minor. I had requested to have us seated in the lounge vs. the rotunda. The rotunda is an extension of the lobby area with elevators for hotel guests to access. They ended up seating us at the rotunda, where I ended up facing the coat room. Not a big deal, since they were busy attending to all the guests that showed up for their reservation before us. It’s still a fun room with colorful books as decor. Overall, I would go back. The food was prepared with care, along with courteous and polite service, which resulted in a pleasant afternoon.

Lovely- but rushed. Tea is to be lingered over and enjoyed. While we were enjoying the experience it was made very clear that the table was reserved for 90 minutes only. And we were promoted one hour in to pay , get our coats and prepare to pack up any left over food items we wanted to bring home. If you are looking for a relaxing high tea experience this is not it.

Came for afternoon tea with a friend and had a great time. We had the champagne and liquer pairing with our tea which was amazing. The nibbles are all great. The cones were very sweet, which we didn't mind, but they're not the size, shape, or flavor of a traditional british scone. The service was amazing, everyone was very attentive but not overbearing. We loved everything about it and can't wait to go back.

Lovely staff who were super attentive. Best for grown ups as the tea pots and cups only came in once size. We had a 4 year old who struggled to hold the large cup provided with the tea service. It would have been beneficial to have a smaller set for little hands.

The lounge style seating makes the experience more casual, which isn’t ideal at the price point. I think having full sized tables (like how the Four Seasons Boston Common did it) would have been more comfortable. While most of the wait staff was friendly and helpful, one of our servers seemed visibly annoyed that one of the guests had a dietary restriction that I hadn’t previously mentioned when making the reservation. I honestly didn’t know about the dietary restriction and would have mentioned it had I known. Finally, parking was an issue. I called the hotel before and asked about parking, was told that the valet would be validated. This was a flat out lie, and when we asked our server and other hotel employees if they would validate, we were met with curt responses. Overall a nice experience but at the price there are some things that could have been better.

We were looking forward to our reservation that was made several weeks in advance. We were disappointed to be seated in the lobby area of the hotel by the busy elevators with people checking in and out of the hotel. The sofa was also not the cleanest. There was a basketball team in town and our reservation was right when they were checking out with many carts of luggage and equipment. It was very distracting and my daughter had to move her chair in several times for other guests to get by. The food was ok. The lobster roll was stale and you could tell it had been made in advance. We have been to tea at many other resorts and Four Seasons hotels and we were extremely disappointed in this experience. If you do make a reservation be sure to ask to be seated in the tea room pictured in the website. This may help with the overall experience.

Very slow service, we we’re sitting in the lobby and there was a constant draft from people checking out. So it was very cold. The sandwich was super dry and had probably been made the day before. This is the second time we have been there and it didn’t get any better the second time around. Not worth the money!

We reserved the apres ski cocktail experience on Christmas Eve. Each of the 4 cocktails were inspired by a Four Season’s ski lodge and crafted to evoke the spirit of the lodge and the natural beauty of its surroundings. Each cocktail was served beautifully and explained expertly, served with small plates that complimented the cocktail. Everything was wonderful!! Please, Trifecta, offer more themed cocktail experiences throughout the year. Your mixologists are gifted and the experience is fantastic!

Host was very welcoming and kind. The waitress and staff was nice and attentive as well. The environment is very well decorated and I love the theme. I enjoyed the food and definitely the tea as well.

A lovely food experience only to be hurried and have people walking thru in their spa robes If the 4 Seasons wants to offer an afternoon tea they should consider removing the 90 minute time limit and moving the dining experience to a more formal space High tea is meant to be enjoyed; not rushed and distracted Apparently the Boston Globe critic came to the same conclusion

Trifecta is a relaxing experience. The food menu is extremely limited. The drinks are great, the service thoughtful. There are WAY too many pillows everywhere--i literally fell off my chair because of the pillows! And as you'd expect, everything is over priced. But, it's an elevated experience that is worth it when you're in the mood.

I and my wife had such a great time at Trifecta as always. The hostess was very friendly and truly welcoming us. She said 'Happy aniversary' with a smile which is so nice of her. Our server Erica is attentive, friendly and professional. She offered us a cake for our anniversary. We really appreciated it. She checked how we were doing time to time. Trifecta is our all-time favorite bar. Never disappoints us!

The experience and customer service for afternoon tea was phenomenal; however, the actual food served was average. The drinks and tea were lovely though. It’s a great experience and a lot of fun. I’ll definitely go back, but I’d love to see more attention to the details, scones, tea sandwiches and desserts.

Great Service. They were great in accommodating my allergy. Would have like to be in main room though rather than the lobby. I prefer the tea by the Public Garden location as new location is hard to walk to and not close to Newbury St shops the Public Garden and The Common with the Christmas tree. I also liked the fireplace of the original location. No where on the website do they note there are 2 Four Seasons hotels now in Boston given we are coming out of the pandemic and many only know the one in front of the public garden. We almost went to the Boyston St location! Was very confusing! Also, please add more savory sandwiches- there was a lot more sweet than savory. Cucumber sandwiches should be in both adult and children’s versions of tea sandwiches. Please bring back afternoon tea at the Public Garden location in the future! Atmosphere do much better!

I visited Trifecta for a solo lunch. I purchased the Afternoon Tea experience, of which didn’t disappoint. From the time I walked in, staff was so pleasant and accommodating; especially my main server, Divian. She was kind, patient, and had such a pleasant demeanor. Within minutes of me being seated, she offered me a glass of champagne & served a Foie Gras Ganache w/ Caramelized Banana. Minutes following, she brought out the tea I selected: Lady Blue Earl Grey, w/ a supplement of paired liquor that was selected by staff to compliment the tea of my choosing. I’ve never had tea w/ liquor, but it was a very satisfying pair. The serve ware was amazing as well. When the tiered plates were brought out, it was explained what each small dish was. They were kind enough to inquire about allergies and dietary restrictions before bringing the food out. Everything was delicate, and immaculate. My favorites per tier: Top: Scones w/ orange marmalade Savory: Deviled Egg, Roast Turkey Dessert: ALL OF THEM! ❤️ I loved having Divian as my server! She made my first dining experience in Boston very pleasurable. She was also informative of the cocktails that are served at Trifecta in the evening. I’ll be back 😊

My daughter and I were looking for a late Thanksgiving dinner in Boston after having been in a hospital all day. The food, ambiance, and service gave us just what we needed! It is a stunning restaurant in a first class hotel.

It was a fun experience but I think the food can be improved on. The sweets on the last tier tasted either dense or stale. The lobster roll bun seemed like it was sitting outside uncovered for hours as the bread was a little stale. Service was great though.

We were seated for the first seating on a Sunday. The tea and food came late. The sandwich and scones seemed a little stale and dry. This comes as a surprise as the last time we had tea service, about a year ago, it was fantastic attentive and food quality was excellent.
