First time eating in the new four seasons patio. What an excellent evening and so well done. Very warm despite it being in the teens outside. The food was phenomenal. But the best part was our attentive and knowledgeable server, Juk.

The patio was a little too cold right by the door this evening. To be expected when winter, but they could try to make the area a little warmer right by the doors. Great service outstanding food as usual. Our whole family loves everything
