    Great experience... delicious food..service was excellent. We were placed in room off of main dining room where it was quieter. Main dining room was a little noisy. So we appreciated the quieter room. The only thing I would say that could have been better is that the bread served was NOT already in small slices.... You kinda had to tear off a piece and it was not USER friendly.. They could take a lesson from Landry's Seafood Restaurant in how to serve the bread at the table. Other than that, all was outstanding. We had the octopus appetizer....the BEST octopus appetizer I have ever had and we have tried MANY. The steak was perfect and the salmon was outstanding! The valet parking is kinda tricky...cuz it is on McKinney city street and with a lot of traffic, the valet area really tends to "bottle neck"....so better to go really early or really late for dinner... We definitely will be back. Cheree K. Lake Jackson , TX

    Everything was outstanding including the service, the ambience, the attention to detail, and especially the food. Four different meals including appetizers, drinks, main dish, and dessert - all were excellent.

    One of our best dining experiences in a long time, considering we dine out frequently. We enjoyed refreshing cocktails at the bar prepared by Kevin before moving to the dining room where we were attentively served by Yuli and her colleagues. The appetizers were so delicious - the swordfish dip, empanada and bison anticucho. We took on the recommendations from their F&B Head Likith and enjoyed sharing entree plates such as the octopus and Toro Toro churascho - the Colorado lamb was just amazing! The Napa Nook bottle of wine recommended by Gary was just the right pairing. We closed out with desserts La Bomba and churros, and got to meet Executive sous chef Jonathan so we could offer our compliments to the chef and his team. Outstanding evening, thank you Four Seasons!

    I believe our server's name was Sashika or something like that. A lovely human being that was so thoughtful about the service she provided...super! The drinks were spot on. Food was good for a hotel restaurant in particular.
