   The food is always top notch, and the staff is amazing. This is our go-to downtown restaurant.

   Food perfect; service exceptional; ambience annoying. We arrived for our 5:00 reservation and were seated at a lovely table in an upscale dining room. Ten minutes later, havoc ensued. Enter a family of five: Two parents that never looked up from their phones, a blissfully quiet young teenager and two young children who talked nonstop in outside voices and ran around the dining room like they owned it. To be clear, we are not crotchety old people who dislike children. We have five grandkids and understand the challenges of parenting. But please don’t bring your kids to an inappropriate restaurant for children and leave your parenting at the door with seemingly no regard for other diners who are attempting to enjoy their $300 dinner in a nice environment! I should add that we’ve been to this restaurant many times and this was an isolated experience. We love the food, and our server, Milli, was the epitome of perfection. Don’t stay away; consider doing what we will next time. Ask to be seated in an adult-only section.

   This is one of my favorite places for breakfast/brunch when visiting Seattle. The Eggs Benedict is very good. They also make very good espresso drinks. The view & ambiance are very relaxing, while the service is wonderful. The staff are very friendly, yet professional.

   The service was really slow. They were obviously shorthanded. And no manager checked in with us the entire time. Our server was doing the best he could. But it looked like he had 10 tables on his own. There was no one helping him. And like I said, not 1 manager checked in with us the entire time.

   Note for anyone wanting reservations on Valentine’s Day. Make sure you know that if it’s a reservation before 5pm you won’t get the Valentine’s Day menu. We made the mistake. Booked a room and reservation for Valentine’s Day. They had a 4:15 opening which we had booked a week in advance. Arrived and about 40 mins in inquired about the actual menu because all we received was the happy hour menu. We were told they wouldn’t serve us the valentines menus because that’s for reservations after 5pm. It was never stated on the reservation. The manager in the restaurant was not pleasant what so ever. Basically told us we should have read the print on the reservation. Well I went back into my reservation and there was nothing about reservations from 5pm on only receive the Valentine’s Day menu. Luckily the manager at the hotel made things right but they really need to look into who they have running the restaurant, he was very unprofessional.

   Great setting for a business lunch and the food is always excellent. The turkey burger wrapped in lettuce was an A+.

    Worst seared tuna I've ever had. Really surprised, given both Seattle's reputation for seafood and Four Season's reputation for hospitality.
