   we started with barrata and the calamari , the burrata was very good and the calamari was solid , my son loved the branzino cooked perfectly and his girlfriend loved the salmon, the tiger shrimp were outstanding and the sauce a must , the mushroom steaks were also done well, the apple tart is very good and the gelato cheesecake and pear was amazing

   I arrived at 10:45 for brunch, they sold me in the 65 dollar buffet then told me at 11 it closes down now and I have 5min to grab my last dish. They should have told me that at the beginning.

   A lively bar at the Four Seasons. Service was excellent. The tap list was good. Food was OK but pricy for what you get. We had chicken wings (not crispy so they were a bit flabby), ravioli (enjoyed by my friend) and branzino (a bit dry and not accompanied by and vegetables so also a bit basic for the $51 price tag.)

   Our experience at the Four Seasons restaurant was just okay. We had higher expectations given its reputation. While three of our guests enjoyed their meals, the other three of us, myself included, were left disappointed. We were particularly eager to try the pumpkin gnocchi, only to find out that it had been removed from the menu nearly two weeks prior. This was quite disappointing, especially since we felt the restaurant should have communicated this change or reprinted the menus. Overall, we found the meal to be overpriced for what we received. On a positive note, the staff was attentive and provided good service throughout our visit.

   Food undercooked. Took over an hour to get our meal. Food was on the cool side. At current prices, value is very poor.

   Oysters were great, kids menu has a larger selection including healthy options. Tom Yum soup was great. A little pricey but as expected given its inside Four Seasons.

    I wanted to share my experience at Braidwood, but I must admit it’s difficult given the overwhelmingly negative aspects. Unfortunately, my visit was quite disappointing and left me frustrated. Upon arrival, the foyer was bustling with a large party of about 20 guests. The adults were drinking and shouting, seemingly oblivious to the approximately eight children nearby, who were engrossed in their devices and munching on neglected chicken strips. It made for a rather chaotic atmosphere. Initially, we were seated next to this rowdy group at a coffee table, but we chose to wait for a proper table, which ultimately placed us adjacent to the same noise. The volume was so high that I wished I had brought earplugs. Thankfully, once the families departed, the environment became more manageable. While our server was incredibly positive and friendly, the food was a letdown. The focaccia, though not traditional, was acceptable with some olive oil. However, the gnocchi lacked any flavor—just a bowl of flour and sour cranberries, which I politely returned to the kitchen with apologies. I inquired about warm desserts and chose the apple toffee pudding, only to find it was essentially a cold cake with unheated apples. The coffee, however, was a bright spot, flavorful and hot, and truly the highlight of the meal. Regrettably, I don’t foresee returning for dinner here. My experiences at the Fairmont have set a much higher standard for both food and overall ambiance.
