Best Seasonal Restaurants in River Oaks

We dined on Dec. 22, 2024. The evening on the patio was cool but the staff fired up the portable heaters and it was nice. The server, Katie was on point and took great care of us. The Bread service is to die for. We had grouper with sweet and spicy sauce. Very good. We keep coming back and the view of the ocean can't be beat. A real winner.

The food is absolutely excellent, from the quality and presentation of the fish, to the appetizers, to the main courses. Additionally, the service is top notch. Very attentive, kind, helpful servers who make sure to get all the diners the food the exact way that the individual wants it. Great drink offerings also. Have yet to go for happy hour but it seems really good (only M-Thurs). Cheers to everything about this place.

As a sales manager, I spend a lot of time with clients enjoying dinner and conversation. Most of the time the food is good, but not this time. It was spectacular. The yellowfin sashimi, while a touch spicy, was a great start that I would certainly recommend. The came the Lobster tacos. These were by far, the best appetizer I or anyone in my group have ever tasted. We all ordered steaks and one, a filet, arrived a little overcooked, our server had it replaced in just a short minutes and the replacement was picture perfect and delicious. This review would not be complete without a huge thank you to Valeria and her excellent recommendations and complete service throughout our dinner. I am looking forward to returning when I’m back in Ft Lauderdale.

Excellent experience from start to finish. Food was on point, service as well the Four Seasons is absolutely beautiful. I have NO complaints just Two ticky-tack drawbacks that might help others. 1) we were seated right by the servers station in the back very close to another table, we asked for something else since we were celebrating a special occasion, but weren’t moved (in a 1/2 empty restaurant) Luckily, the other table wasn’t seated until we got our entrees because not sure I could stand hearing 2 bros talking loudly about their Hamptons summer house plans for much longer. 2) Valet was $24 but no one told us we could validate at the restaurant for $5 off…I mean at $24 to park for 2 hours, not like $5 is going to save the world, but would have been nice to know that before we walked out to valet and then had to walk back to validate. Valet asked were we were going, we said restaurant, they could have easily told us to validate the parking. None of these would stop us from coming back…we’ll just be sure to park on the street and be more knowledgable about where to sit. I felt the cost was worth the meal, that being said, we didn’t fill up on $25 cocktails and $30 glasses of wine. I could easily see how the liquor bill could easily supersede the food bill. But will be back for the food experience for sure!

Great date spot. Food is always first rate, and the service is fantastic. It can be a little loud depending on the sitting and music, but it is a fun and lively atmosphere. There is a private seating area for before or after the service, so get a drink and take advantage of it.
