Service was excellent! Food was very good with a nice variety of dishes and was constantly replenished with fresh samples. The Bloody Mary was delicious. We also had a masala chai with rich flavour. The brunch is quite pricey and although we expected it to be somewhat costly being in the Four Seasons, the $95/person brunch seemed excessive. Also, parking is very difficult and although they do have a parking garage for their hotel, they do not validate. So if you’re driving, be prepared to add an additional $20-$30 to your day out. That being said, not sorry we went but probably won’t do it again.
