We were not unfamiliar with Four Season’s dining reputation. Having had previously dined at the Four Seasons in Atlanta GA, Las Vegas NV, and Scottsdale AZ, we were anticipating great things from this locale as well. We were not disappointed by any means.
If there’s one thing that has always stood out with me regarding the Four Seasons Resorts besides their excellent cuisine and strict attention to detail when serving their guests, it’s the fact that they’ve always possessed seamlessly unflawed articulation in the art of crafting breathtaking arrangements of massive sprays of flowers. In the restaurant entry, fresh variations of their main flower arrangement were changed out every other day. Beautiful sprays of these colorful flora abound around the property in the lobby, guest suites, dining facilities and ballrooms enhancing an already meticulously stunning environment.
The ambiance of The Restaurant is beachy with an elegant connotation focused on creating a comforting inviting environment for hungry sojourners. The chef’s skilled presentations and preparations of the cuisines offered range from traditional comfort foods to beautifully executed fresh seafood fare enhanced with an artistic flair not only to stimulate the palate, but also the visual and olfactory observance of the restaurant’s diners.
Well-dressed poised servers arrived promptly at our table side, greeting us, and providing menus of the evening’s mouthwatering selections freshly prepared by Chef Darryl Moiles. Known for The Restaurant’s American delicacies and seafood delights, we were not surprised by the quality, presentation and preparation that went into each of the dishes we ordered.
We enjoyed a crisp glass of Chardonnay and a freshly mixed Mojito before ordering our meals. A bread and cracker basket were presented to us with two distinct buttery hummus spreads.
The Tomato Basil Soup flavorful and not too filling that we didn’t have room left for our entrees. Large enough to share between two people, this was a perfect starter.
My husband and I debated over who was going to get which entree between the Braised Beef Brisket entree and the Soft-Shell Crab dish. We wound up getting them both and sharing them with one another.
On our second of three nights at the hotel, we opted to leave the property and venture into the city for dinner, but our third and final evening there, we returned to The Restaurant in the hotel once again for dinner.
We chose the Burger Beef Sandwich on an onion roll with melted cheese, lettuce, tomato and a savory tomato-based Aioli with fries, and the Penne Pasta Bolognese on our second visit to the restaurant during our stay.
What meal is complete without a sweet ending? A couple of cups of coffee and a trio of ice creams (pistachio, mango, and Dulce de Leche) with fresh seasonal fruit was the perfect conclusion to two perfect dinners!
I loved that the waiters place your leftovers on nearby stools made especially for that purpose beside you at the table!
