    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!
